ZERO FXS: Review in San Francisco! 

Thanks, Dallas. As we think is clear in the review, this is a bike worth getting to know, and it was a joy for us!

Glad you liked our approach! We've reviewed a few other electrics, too, and it'd be great if you took a look at them.

Thank you, L! it's a complete blast to ride this bike, and everything about it feels fresh...

Zero have been smart with their range - they know this is a city bike ready to go larking about with, and its range allows all of that. They also have a variety of charging set-ups that can speed up the 'refill' process if you need it. Thanks for watching!

Ok! You can do that with the modular batteries, but not all Zeros have demountable batteries you can take 'inside'!

Ha - you've no idea how many of those there are around! :)

That, we'll admit, is quite funny! :)

Many thanks for taking the time to watch!

We're not sure it will, to be honest, as it's got a smaller battery than some of the other bikes in the Zero range, which would do that for you, like the DS

The Street Car scene is where they turn, in The Castro. Those lines show the history of electrical power propulsion, from another era - so we thought they were very fitting next to the clean-ride Zero! :)

Thanks for watching, Juan. You'll need to speak to your insurance broker to know that for sure.

Paying $411 a year now on the fxs. The SR was almost more than a liter bike....

We like this electric bike too. Zeros don't come as kits, but we're pretty sure you will find an alternative if you search - wishing you luck with it!

Thanks for your observations, Hans. We didn't observe the same issue when we had the bike, but you do make an interesting point. Our only real reservation about the entire Zero range is that it continues to have no safety electronics, especially traction control, which in areas of wet roads, it very strange indeed.

We honestly don't know - you'd have to find out that information locally...and you could enquire with SFMOTO who are good with this sort of assistance

We didn't ride it any more 'off-road' than you see in the video. The FXS is a Supermoto, more designed for the road and a bit of larking around. The FX, on the other hand, is an off-road oriented bike - and if it's anything like the FXS, you'll have a blast on it!

That's obviously a completely legitimate perspective. The thing is...we've seen dozens of brilliant electric brands coming - notably, from China. So our thinking is that a premium brand like Zero really needs to nail its proposition - and just being a bike that delivers electric power won't cut it for too long. We think they need to be the leading technological brand, and obvious gaps like the absence of traction control on a machine with enormous torque is a failing. Thanks for watching, in any case!

I need travel at least 70miles on one charge. Is this possible on these bikes? Dont care going any faster than 70mph.

Thanks for watching, Sergey!

haha! We're based in London, but nothing to do with the Queen, and never claimed to be Californian - we were referring to the bike! Thanks for watching

Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for taking the time to watch our review! Not sure we entirely agree with your view...the simple fact is, this is one of the best bikes we've ever experienced, and we think it's right to be clear about that. :)

Not if you've ridden one...

@@bikebudha01 Umm, you see the guy riding it the whole way through, right?

haha - nothing to fear, here!

Thanks for taking the time to watch our review! As you'll know, there are hundreds of tech-heavy, spec-specific reviews out there. Ours deliberately focus on the experience of riding the bikes and how they seem to us (with a bit of tech-spec included). There's a market for that, as we see from our comments, messages and views. The 'animal' bit is actually the most-often favoured part of our reviews - we even have people compiling lists of bikes by animal comparison now. In any case, your comments are much appreciated and we hope you find time to enjoy more of our reviews in future.

The writing is clearly on the wall!

Range that’s it

And the instant refill time

Thanks for your comment, QuidEst Nunc. Heard and understood. Even through the flannel of those sentences. And, umm, it's not a British accent, but whatevs.

Hey Warthog - thanks for taking the time to drop us a comment. We're a bit puzzled as to where you find we 'politicize' things, and also by your reference to 'you people' - just not sure what you mean by that.

No. They're not.
