After owning a couple of Zero Motorcycles (12 DS ZF9 and 13 FX 5.7) I have sold my FX and only have the old reliable Yamaha in the stable at the moment.

I have greatly enjoyed the electric motorcycle experience for the last 3 years and will miss some of the great things about electric vehicles but my career situation changed and now I have essentially a free ride to work so the commuting part of my personal transportation puzzle changed and the electric motorcycle could no longer be a part of that.   Although I still enjoyed having the FX and using it for short weekend jaunts I was not using it enough to justify it's ownership and I found myself going for the gas bike more and more on weekends since it could just go farther and refuel faster.   Range become much more of an issue for me for weekend only riding.

I have enjoyed this forum a lot and appreciate the people who post here and I will still checkin here from time to time.

If Zero can ever come out with the FX20 or get integrated Fast Charging implemented I would consider electric motorcycle ownership again.

Happy Trails everyone.

Ride safe, ride long... I can't imagine when I'd swap back for gas, (or diesel)... yet.

Your situation will be what keeps me in line that current electrics (zing!)  are not always "the fit", even for people that really have ridden and really understood.

Thanks so much for selling your baby to me, WindRider.  It suits my needs just great, and I've been openly giggling every time the front end comes off the ground!
