    This might be the bike for me. Honestly I would love to learn to ride "traditional" bikes but this looks like a really simple way to gain confidence and learn basic riding.

    • @DownieLive

      It is seriously the easiest bike to learn on. The problem is you’ll enjoy it so much you won’t want to switch to a “traditional” bike. Haha

      Robert Norrie / Don't waste your valuable time on an old bike technology. If you have a daily commute/total miles less than 75 daily...buy this bike.
      It's clean, cheap to ride, and has virtually ZERO maintenance. Why buy an old tech bike?

      If it's outside your price range, you could start on something like a Honda CT110 (also known as the Postman's bike). It's a small bike, so it's easy to control and the best part is, it has no clutch. It has a gearbox (3 speed, I think) but you don't need to operate a clutch to take off or change gears. It's called the Postman's bike because they can use them to deliver mail with their left hand without having to worry about pulling in a clutch to stop at each letterbox.

    I've been riding a DSR as my daily commuter for 8 months. I love driving a stick and hate automatics. But I LOVE riding this bike. It has more jump than my BMW R1150R. There's no noise and I can hear other traffic better. Coming up toms stop light I can brake with my right foot and put my left foot down when I stop at a long light - and keep it down until I twist my wrist. (I always found it kinda awkward to switch feet so I could put it in gear.) It's nice for slowly squeezing between cars in the parking lot or driveway. Faster acceleration and higher speeds do cut the range down, and I can see where riding for an hour or two then charging for an hour (IF you have the J1772 charger) is not exactly ideal trekking scenario. But for a daily commuter this bike is AWESOME!

    • @DownieLive

  • @dMaribo
    @dMaribo 5 років тому +3

    I live in the city and don't commute very far or go very fast very often. Ninety percent of my ride time is spent sitting at traffic lights. A charge lasts weeks. I got it end-of-year sale new for $7500, and there were state and federal rebates on top of that. Although perfect for my niche, I understand that they have their limitations. Things can only get better.

    People are so naive...about anything electric. There's NO transmission needed....no fuel tank, oil tank, chain,....just an electric motor which turns the wheels in back......in fact,....it has an infinite theoretical ability to accelerate. The fastest bike in the world by far...is an electric bike.

      iceberg789/ Actually, torque changes. If I'm accelerating at "5 miles an hour, per second per second...torque shld be consistent. When I drop or increase that acceleration...torque changes. I think this transmission...if there is one, would be done kind of variable speed/CVT.

      Performance Electric use multi-speed transmissions. Formula E isn’t single speed, Rimac isn’t single speed, the original Roadster was supposed to be 2-speed, and most likely the 2020 roadster will have 2-speed. Brammo Electric motorcycle has 6-speeds.
      So, the myth that EVs can’t benefit from having more than one speed is wrong. But within a narrow speed range, it’s more effective to just add a more power motor.

    What a cool concept, especially for commuting through cities. But that comes at fairly hefty price in the UK, retailing for around £14.7k. With a quoted city max range of 163 miles and reducing to around 80 miles on motorways at 70mph. Fully recharging the Zero is a fairly long process taking up to 9.8 to hours to reach 100% charge (9.3 hours 95%). In the UK, Zero owners are required to pass a Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) course before you can 'legally' ride a Zero on public highways. It's a shame that higher performance eBikes & eScooters (+250watt motors) are not permitted on UK roads according to current legislation, which differs from the rest of Europe. Britain should catch up and embrace new zero-emissions transport, not govern them with highways acts established in 1835!

    And the cost is too high, don't you think.
    If a bike can't give a range of 300km/hr then the cost you spend would be for nothing.
    Other than these I hope everyone likes the bike.
