MCN reviews the 2010 Zero S and DS
« on: October 07, 2010, 07:11:45 AM »

Motorcycle Consumer News, in their November issue on page 22, has a full page "First Impression" of "Zero's 2010 Electric Motorcycles". Their impression is based upon riding the S around the hilly sections of West Los Angeles. (Now I wonder if there is a Zero dealer in the area? ;)) Unfortunately, their riding impressions are not overly detailed. Much of the information in the provided seems to be from the Zero brochure. Their thoughts, after riding the Zero, can be summed up by the following paragraph in the article:

"It was hard to adjust to the silence of an electric street bike and, more difficult yet, to swallow the Zero's significant asking price. We must admit, though, that silent off-road riding seems a far more appealing idea in an equally silent and green environment."
