Looks really fun, right up my street. The issues that people have a problem with with electric bikes is real but not as bad as electric cars and it is what it is, No point keeping up the same old arguments. I will be getting one once they are in my price range.

I really want one of these. My riding is very occasional these days and just pleasure riding at that. I love how quiet they are when you are around wildlife and people. You can get away with riding in places you would not with a gas motor running. One of the big advantages is that if you are a person whose bike sits a lot, you don't have any of the bad fuel issues to deal with.

If I had the available funds an electric bike would definitely be on the list for my commute!

Finally getting mine in 6 months. I’ve wanted one for 6 year’s Also thank you so much for making a video on this specific bike.. not many out there and I’m definitely looking forward to more please!!!

As an American, I really appreciate these bike reviews from non other than Paul Bettany. Well done, sir. You are a treasure.

The FX/FXS/FXE come as 3.6 and 7.2 versions (the latter also available with two removable 3.6 batteries). The DS and S comes as 7.2 and 14.4 models, plus you can add an extra 3.6 with the Power Tank. Peak power output is 27hp for the 3.6, 44-46hp for the 7.2, and 59hp for the 14.4. The availability of certain models varies by year and country. Peak power output is the same on "11kw" models as well as the unrestricted ones, continuous output is what varies (as well as a lower top speed on the 11kw models" and you won't notice it unless you're sitting at a high speed for an extended period, acceleration will be identical. EDIT: Actually the FXE can't come with the 3.6 packs (single or double), despite being an otherwise identical bike the plastics wouldn't allow it.

I understand that feeling. I got back on my 2018 Suzuki M109r after mostly riding my 2020 FXS and even on that beast, I miss the instant power delivery of my FXS. I'm settled on selling one bike; guess which one is going.

Glad to see that honest fish shops happens outside the US. I have found they are the most honest people out there.

A 21 up front isn't quite as sticky in a corner as a supermoto with a street tire up front, but they turn in quick and off road they are more agile when going over obstacles. I've run my 690R KTM as a supermoto and with the 21 and because I do a fair amount of dirt, I prefer the 21, but the supermoto front sticks like velcro on asphalt, more confidence inspiring.

I think you accidently highlighted a good point in this vid without realising it. When you were filtering because the bike is silent and car drivers as we know are not looking for bikes they couldn't hear it either. They don't know your there until you appear next to them. As a big v twin rider I know that they can hear me even though they aren't looking. I'd be interested to ride one just to experience it though

The CBT legal 11kW versions of these bike have a similar peak power to the full power bikes, the continuous power is the things that's limited to 11kW, but that's only for continuous throttle for over 30 minutes, it you dip to zero it resets the timer again.

I desperately need one in my life!!! May very well be my next purchase

Looking at electric enduros for uniqueness. Much will depend on solar chargeability. Great review, appreciate your objectivity. Mike from across the "pond".

all the videos you have done with the fxe and this bike has made me want one as from what I have seen would be perfect to replace both of my 125s and have one bike of I had the money as it would be about as cheap to if not cheaper to run than my ybr custom and as quick and sporty as my full power cagiva planet and range never really would bother me too much aslong as I had a fast charger

I think the bike looks cool 😎 And would be fun to use off road and the upside you don't up set no one I like the idea with the price of petrol ATM it's a win for me

Nice video good reference video for my possible choice ..found one for sale and considered it a option to have a ride ...and I'm highly impressed with the speed it outputs definitely going to try to get one

Great explanation mate❤💯 One time while riding mountain e-bike going 25mph an older man was looking at me through the right side mirror then suddenly opened the door on purpose to try and hit me…Got out and just stood there and looked at me.. the driver was confused some people are malicious out there They jelly…

Gonna start saving up for this bike.

After the supply chain comment I hit follow. Funny guy great video. I really want one of these bikes. Hope to have one soon!

Please keep reviewing as many electric bikes as you can 👍 On the subject of regen, I think you're underestimating the potential a little. For example there's no need for a rear brake. If the motor can make the wheel break traction on acceleration then it can do it on deceleration easier. Loss of traction is the limit on braking force. You didn't dwell on regen, especially how controllable it is on the throttle, the ability to modulate. The energy lost to aero drag can't be recovered, but on acceleration, by definition, a lot of energy is spent on forces to overcome inertia rather than aero, up to say 50mph. So a fair amount of energy is there for the taking on deceleration. Cheers 😁

Watched a video about the scummy practises this company does, they lock battery percentage, heated grips, fast charging features (all which are already on the bike) behind a paywall. I will never buy a zero motorcycle, I'll wait for other companies to make better products for a cheaper price. Zero are literally the apple of the motorcycle world.

I believe the electric motor is the same in them, it's whether it has one or two battery packs, that is mostly a range issue. At least the U.S. versions.

I hear what you’re saying about just reviewing it for what it is, but at some point it would be good to get your take/fair for you to give it on English Electric’s subscription model where you buy a bike that already comes with the physical kit and capability to give you extended range, quick charge, heated grips, etc, and the “owner’s” only alternative is to pay up for the full fat factory feature price rather than doing his/her own research and engineering to achieve the solution.

It is a very good looking bike tbf.

Do you feel a difference cornering i.e. is it more difficult to judge your speed without the sound?

Just wondering if Zero’s sold in the UK have the same insane “pay to switch on “ features as they do here in the US 🤔? Here almost every “feature” is an up charge to the point you can almost double the “list price” of the bike just to get it properly “switched on”. (Makes the KTM “pay to play” look like a penny arcade game 😳.)

Finally got a chance to catch up on these vids. I really like the idea of an ev bike to commute on, but I don't even commute on my motorbikes which do over twice as many mpg as my van. I also don't get the fanatical "all ev bikes are rubbish" thing from "petrol heads", they are just different... I get they don't want one.... but they seem to forget that no one is forcing them to get one, and even in 2030/2035 whenever it happens, no one will be forcing them then to get one either, they will still be able to ride their petrol bikes and buy and sell their petrol bikes for many more years to come beyond the cut off for new petrol bikes being sold.... and TBH, how many of them currently even own a brand new motorcycle?

I can't wait to get my full licence just so I can take a electric bike for a test ride. Also "can you give me more than half a inch, that would be great." That's what she said 😂

If I could have afforded this over the KLX 230, I'd have this instead. Just too costly atm.

would be awesome if English Electric would put some proper off road tyres to go with your green lane video.

I want one so bad I have a job but like I just started it so it’ll take me a year or two I bet

For the money does it has proper fully adjustable suspension front and rear and proper brakes front and rear that match bikes that cost this sort of money?? Or is it just superbike expensive with cheap bike bits??

Does it have traction control on it? 🤔

"I just make big things look small." Thats what she said! Haaaa hoooo, I'm sorry. Oh and whitish desert tan... Ivory? I'm on a crap connection, so I'm looking at about 7 pixels. But looks like ivory.

Add 1 gear for highway and I'd get one. For me it would be perfect.

anyone discussing the cost of a new battery for these bikes???

You nide a draving lisen for dise and what IS the age am 14 year ay Can ?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Indeed, no one does watch new top gear 🤣😂

What a db! Electric is worse than petroleum could ever be!

that's why I have very little respect for drivers .

Zero- Shameless, diabolical, anti-consumer, overpriced garbage

Read the reviews of the company. I bought a used Zero 2022 FX in December 2022. It's been in the shop for 5 of the 8 weeks I've owned it. THE COMPANY WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU. Zero almost intentionally does what they can do to make you angry. The worst company I've ever had to deal with, AND THEY MAKE MOTORCYCLES. My rear wheel had 3 broken spokes after about 800 miles of road riding. 3 weeks in the shop to fix 3 spokes. Zero took 2 weeks to ship....from Southern California to Arizona. Finally get the bike back. 80 miles later, ANOTHER spoke broke (all of these are rear wheel by the way). 6 ignored emails from the company later, I find out they approved a BRAND NEW REAR WHEEL but never told me, or the dealership. So currently waiting on that new wheel to ship/be appvroved. Zero is scary. Guessin they got HUGE tax benefits and stimulus from CA for making electric bikes. DO NOT BUY A ZERO BIKE. Two women answer the phone - Nicole and Katie - and I am scared to learn how they're related to the company. Do not buy Zero. I paid $10k for my used Zero with 1,000 miles on it and $15k in receipts - I now understand I got fleeced by the old owner - he saw what this company was and dumped it ASAP. By the way, if you're doubtful of a single thing I've said, call Zero. Dial 2, for support. You'll talk to Katie or Nicole. They both literally have no idea how a motorcycle works, and they will never, ever, ever, let you get past them to somebody who can help. Zero is terrifying. The bike is fun when it works, but I've never come across a company like this, and literally I hunt down overdue information for a living.
