[Review] Motorcycle-USA
« on: April 04, 2013, 02:57:26 AM »

They review the 2013 S model. Overall a positive review, spelling out the changes that make this year's models only a very slight compromise and big change from previous years. Here's the final summary:
Quote
The electric motorcycle, represented by the 2013 Zero S I rode, has arrived – really. It's not perfect, or right for everybody, and it won't replace the fleet of gas-powered bikes in your garage. But it's great at what it does and is fun to ride – a real motorcycle worth a second look.

Thanks for the link.  That was informative and thorough review of the 2013 Zero S. It is the best one I have read so far.  It was also interesting to hear that Zero is offering a Fox shock as an accessory.  That and the rear rack and top box sounds like something that I would want on my 2014 Zero S.   :)

Gabe Ets-Hokin is the editor of City Bike magazine and my guess is that a version of this article will be in the May issue, which will be on the motorcycle shop newsstands later this month.

Seems like that Fox has had a shock for the Zeros for a while now.  Just call Fox up and order away.  Also, a GSX-R front end will bolt on as well. ;)
