Review of Zero SR on moto-magazine.ru
« on: April 05, 2014, 02:45:07 AM »

First off, I'm not Russian, nor do I read Russian, but I did come across this article and managed to get through pretty easily with the help of Google Translate:

http://moto-magazine.ru/tests/mototsikly-i-skutery/test-drayv-elektrobayka-zero-sr/

(Here's the direct Google Translate link: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fmoto-magazine.ru%2Ftests%2Fmototsikly-i-skutery%2Ftest-drayv-elektrobayka-zero-sr%2F)

They have some interesting feedback on the bike, and some great photos to boot!

Thanks biolife.  That was an interesting review and I only have a slight headache after reading the translation.   ;)

Not the same review.. the motorcyclistonline report only has maybe a paragraph of actual riding information, everything else is regurgitated from Zero's website.

I don't understand how/why the Russian article is that much more detailed and they were published a day apart.

Reverse engineering by the Russians.

I think probably the motorcyclistonline article was written earlier, and only now released. The Russian article has a ton more detail, sounds like he had more time on the bikes when he wrote it.

Hopefully we'll see the original article in English at some point.
