Well that is interesting.  I didn't know that Richard Walker took a walk out of the door last July.  I wonder what Samuel Paschel  brings to the Zero EV table?

This statement in the article is interesting: These hirings hopefully point to Zero finally revamping its motorcycle design language, and offering an electric vehicle to motorcycle enthusiasts that more closely resembles the kind of machines they already own. It sounds like Zero might be getting a taste of Empulse sportbike design.  But revamping their entire range is not going to be cheap and might drive the retail price further away from the IC mainstream and might be counterproductive when it comes to increasing sales. Right now the "dual-sport" style is hot and sportbikes not so much, but who knows how long that will last and what the next styling trend will be.  ???

I hope we get more information about these changes soon. My goal is to buy a 2018 Zero, but I don't want something entirely new as brand new stuff is likely to contain bugs - just ask any BMW enthusiast.   ::)
