Zero raises $6,000,000 in financing
« on: October 15, 2014, 06:02:01 AM »
While Brammo is out publicly beating the proverbial bushes in an attempt to raise $4,500,000, Zero has quietly closed a round of financing for $6,000,000: http://www.whogotfunded.com/deals/289586-zero-motorcycles-inc

Sounds good to me.  Now what will they do with the money?  Make some great 2016 models I bet.   ;D

The only thing I really want for the 2016 bikes is availability in the UK... :p

Employing more people to help John Logan sort out issues with the bikes they've already sold would be a nice start.

Very true, along with buying and stocking more replacement parts for previously sold bikes so that they can be shipped out quickly after being ordered, instead of ordering them from the parts manufacturer after receiving the order.   ::)
