Hi everybody.
I've been lurking here on the forum for a couple months, but now I guess it's time to introduce myself, as I just picked up this beast today!



Still cannot believe how easy these electric bikes are to ride, while being such capable machines. I'm expecting a lot of fun with my Zero.

Beauty in the Beast!!!

Congratulations.

Are you loving it?

I keep forgetting how much like flying it is.

Like flying, but with better traction.  And no Z axis to complicate matters.

Well... Frankly speaking it's not that beautiful. Personally I prefer the looks of my R3 more. Zero or some 3rd-party manufacturers have to design some nice fairings for these machines.
But it's definitely the beast!

Congratulations.

Thanks!

Absolutely! Rode it to work today. It's so much fun needling through the traffic, and so effortless!

Yeah. That's pretty close. Or teleporting: I just look where I want to be - zzzap - and I'm there.

Heh...
Talking about traction - I am a bit cautious about flying right now: the tires are still new and shiny, I'm not feeling too confident in the corners yet. Still remember when during my test ride of a new FXS with just 40 km on the odometer, I almost lost it in a turn - that was a scary moment, especially because it wasn't even my bike.

Ah, but in teleportation, I think you get frozen, don't get to enjoy the G-forces, the wind, the banking.

Well, still a lot more braking power than an aircraft has.

Yeah, treat it like a new pair of tires, be gentle till you have given the surface a little wear.
