So what is the range in town, motorways and at different speeds? How long to charge it, what is the battery life expectancy and how much does a replacement cost?
Lol, he hearted your comment but didn't answer any if your questions.
Figure 160 town 100 HWY Charge ranges from 90 mins to 4 hours. The battery is good for around 300000 miles and the motor goes forever.
@@thorstambaugh1520 i'm laughing so hard at that 300,000 mile range estimate. let's try 20,000 miles before needing to replace the $4000 battery. but the belts break around 3000 miles. they're not expensive though and easy to replace (besides the point). EVs so far are selling on the intrigue of their performance and "I never have to touch the engine and what I will touch is easy to do so" unicorn chase.
@@twrcrew8852 that's no unicorn chase at all, that's the reality. The number of Teslas out there with mileage in the 100k miles is already impressive, and at that point they don't even lose 10% of their capacity (more like 5%). And yes, the motors do last forever.
My own EV has 106000 km after 3 years and the only thing I've had to change were tyres and wipers. That's it. Not a single mechanical problem to report. With EVs, that's the norm, not the exception.
@@francisgaliegue6645 nice try using kms to make it look bigger. but that's only 60,000 miles. Most dodge/chryslers will make it that far and they're the least reliable vehicles on the planet.
Finally an electric bike that doesn't look like an electric bike. !
Yeah it looks like a cb1000r.
The premium version does not get a bigger battery, it has a faster charger.
Good review, but it had a couple errors. Horsepower is 110, not 140. Not really a big deal because it is the wads of instant torque that is this bike's party piece. The Standard and Premium models have the same battery. The Premium has a charger that is twice as fast. I hope you get a dry day ride. Handling is solid for heavy-ish bike, similar to a Speed Triple. The acceleration on dry roads is something else altogether. Try it with the TC turned off. EDIT: I looked on the website and didn't find an article.
@@mrsmith697 He said 140 ft-pounds and 140hp
Man you are reviewing this bike and you get the major difference wrong between premium and non premium. Thr major difference is the premium has a 6kw charger vs a 3kw charger. Premimum also has heated grips and fly screen.
Out of my price range, but I would love one.
Electric bikes have a lot going for them (huge torque, near instant acceleration). However, in Oz there are next to no charging stations, really big distances to cover and Zero government incentives to buy one.
It is really embarrassing at 1:19 that you didn't know the difference between the standard and premium model. The premium model has 6.6Kw charger vs the 3.3Kw charger...no extended range. Do better.
Great review. Would be nice to see a comparison with Energica.
Well done zero for pushing the boundaries
Great review
Thank you
Love Zeros. But haven't found any reason to upgrade my 2017 SR to the new SR/F. I have 1C charging. And range for SR/F is a bit less.
The premium doesn't get you a bigger battery, that is an add on for later which isn't released yet. The premium gets you just the heated hand grips and better headlights.
I've tried this and it is good! Really good!
I am waiting for a eV bike that can carry a pillion and fully loaded luggage at the same time. till then the current range of eV bikes are for solo riders.
Did I miss the part where u mention the range?
Nice review. The problem with electric bikes remains range and charging times. Perhaps the future will sort that out, but personally, I think the Japanese idea of swappable batteries is a better mid term solution.
It looks okay. Could do with being a bit louder, so people know you're coming.
What, a PA system playing a sample of a Panigale??
it has never been proven that loud bike save lives, loud bikes just annoy the shit out of people
Great video! thanks for the great info.
I am surprised 220 kg I thought it would weigh as much as a Harley tractor
Early adopters always have to pay a premium, but it is likely the future and prices will go down.
Which exhaust I can put for that bike?
Trumpet
Vuvuzela...
I would advise against a paper mache one due to British weather
Taco Bell gives a loud exhaust after 2 hours
I hope tracks can have charging station soon
all i need is an electric bike equivalent to 250cc-300cc motorcycles, is there any?
Check out Zero fx
I truly love the concept mainly due to such little maintenance. BUT projective studies made on going all electric everywhere have shown that to provide the power to charge the batteries requires massive amounts of some fuel to burn at the source. So the environmental is not included in my love for the machine. Everything made now is really just experimental, the weight, the charge time, the distance just isn't there yet, you would be hard pressed to set off coast to coast on/in any electric vehicle. That will change and within a few years we will be at a point these can be seen as mainstream. I'd love to ride one though.
Did you say "free charging for the premium"?
One unintended conseuence might be people using charging stations as ground locks - plug it in - leave it there all day.
Whats the 0-100 time you reckon.????
You can program out the torque control and launch around 2 seconds with a slight tinker.
I was referring to 0-100 km/hr
im all for off road electric bikes as they will make way for more tracks to open near residential areas and result in loads more places to ride as there will be little to no noise pollution, but im still not sold on electric road bikes, cars can't hear them when filtering - neither can pedestrians when they are crossing the road and have their head in their phone - i just think road bikes need to be noisy.
Put a piece of cardboad in the spokez and a bell on it
@@filthymcnastyazz I could live with some star wars sounds....
Noise is a life saver
@@stuarthunter7559 Wrong. Proven by multiple studies. There is a reason they give you a vision test for a license
Not convinced thats true. Car drivers normally have music on and pedestrians normally in a world of their own with headphones in/on. I'm seeing more and more people using noise cancelling headphones too. They're lethal!
Instead off a loud exhaust you get a loud speaker. Then download the
sound you want lol.
If you like Harleys you can just put the word "potato" on loop.
The theme from wonder woman at 500 watts works for me
We dont put horseheads and tails on our cars, why put sound on the electrics?
@@thorstambaugh1520 just ask you one question dr Watson. Why do people buy custom exhausts? Why is sound important for so many? Why do many bikers reject and think electric bikes to be boring? Could something be done. And no no horsehead...
Come on, Zero ! Bring in Level 3 (DC FAST) charging like Energica and Lightning.
Check the price of a replacement battery before you buy one of these electric motorcycles please.I would say the price of a replacement battery here, but you would not believe me. I will repeat that, you will not believe how much a replacement battery costs... I saw a sticker on a zero in one of the videos that points out that the battery has a five year warranty. That’s fine, but what about after five years?
Ask the owner of the dealership what the cost of a replacement battery is. If that person tells you that a replacement battery cost is under $20,000, get that person to put it in writing, have it witnessed, and notarized... $20,000 is not the cost of a replacement battery. You will not believe how much they cost. It is jaw-dropping..
I am sure that the cost of the batteries will come down as the popularity of electric motorcycles increases over the years. At least I hope so.
A friend of mine has zero that he let the batteries go to low before he charged them. He could not get the batteries to recharge, he called and spoke with technicians at zero, they talked him through through routine of charging, they were talked him through a checklist, they told him his batteries are junk and he needs a new battery. When he find out the cost of a replacement battery, he searched the Internet for other ways to bring the battery back to life, he went on blogs for the zero, he spoke to electrical engineers, he tried everything, it’s been over a year now, his zero sits in the corner of his garage without a battery. He’s trying to sell the zero as is, or he is going to part it out.
Anyone considering buying an electric anything, check the cost of the replacement battery first...
Not at all. The batteries are good for around 2400 full discharge cycles. This equates to around 300000 miles. These are not the batteries you find in your phone or computer.
Why on earth would you need to replace the battery. I've 25,000 miles on my Zero's battery and its not lost 1% of its capacity, why would I need to replace it?
Petrol heads won't give it ago because its not a petrol engine - yeah I hear that from skateboarders and glider pilots too. I have nothing against them, nor do I have more than a mild interest - they are just not the specific thing I am interested in spending my money on.
the motor is called the what..? ohhh, the zed force (".)
My biggest complaint for this kind of price tag is it’s still turn key; come on Zero there should be a proximity key fob... This was supposed to be a step towards modern tech... Hell I wouldn’t buy it till they can offer what BMW/Kawasaki/& many others are including on their bikes at this price point... I dig almost every other aspect of it...
Zero SR/F is a damn fine COMMUTER bike, just not a TOURING bike.
The price is still a big obstacle; also, if you don't have a garage containing a charging unit, how are you going to charge the bike safely and securely ? The government seems not to feel encouraging electric biking either. Electric biking is still out of reach for me, sorry.
If I need to get around town, I'd rather go for an electric bicycle with a removable battery that I can take inside with me for charging. Speed limit in my city is 25mph, which a bicycle is more than good for. For weekends, I typically do 200-600 spirited highway miles in offroad mountainous roads, so this motorcycle is absolutely useless there with no guarantee of a charging station and 80 minute charge times. I reckon my mates would be properly ticked off....
Looks like a cb1000r
It's an electric bike review and you don't mention most important concern of the people !! C'mon what is the range !!!!
He did mention it.
£18,500 😂😂😂
Switched off once I heard the stupid price tag.
Just putting that into perspective, thats like buying a 650cc petrol bike and 100,000 miles worth of petrol... Let that sink in.
@@themightydash1714 You can even lease the oil tanker who brings all that gas to our continent ;)
@@themightydash1714 No it is like buying 3 650cc bikes, maintenance and repairs and gas. You do realize these bikes are good for 300000 miles? These make more sense than the clueless
Too expensive but there are plenty of bikes that cost that and more.
Pillion seat & pillion pegs? Totally useless!
"Hurr electric bikes are good."
Nobody said they're bad. Get your head out of the sand and LISTEN. We don't care for electric bikes the same way we don't care about scooters. They're just A-B appliances that don't have gears and lack good sound.
Who is we?
@@thorstambaugh1520 😂😂
Imagine being so much of a manchild you'd toss away the potential advantages and innovation because it isn't loud enough for your ego.
Nothing better than an internal combustion engine!! Nothing better than banging thru the gears!
Says everyone whom has never ridden an electric.
Love a big twist and go.
No mercy for betrayer!
wow 124mph and only £18,000 ..... bargain
Early adopters always pay a premiun
@@filthymcnastyazz premium? Just putting that into perspective, thats like buying a 650cc petrol bike and 100,000 miles worth of petrol... Let that sink in. There is a premium and then there is more money than sense.
@@themightydash1714 and i said early adopters are prepared to pay a premium..look ag software releases full of bugs but the nerdy guys enjoy being "first". Sfop thhing to have an argument and appreciate that it doesnt need to make sense tp you for it to be a thing.
@@themightydash1714 No it is like buying 3 650cc bikes, maintenance and repairs and gas. You do realize these bikes are good for 300000 miles? These make more sense than the clueless
@@thorstambaugh1520 It will take you a lot longer to do 300K miles on one of these than a petrol bike. What will the battery max charge be after 100K miles? Can the battery be replaced, if so, how much?
