we seem to have gotten somewhat off thread topic here ;-) but at the Zero demo ride session last week I was told the foot pegs were a $350 option

"Sorry, sweetie, you'll have to take your own car."

[blake]

Zero gave me the same response when I suggested they make ABS an available option as well as LED lights ("they're trying to keep the costs down").  I think this must be the only motorcycle though where passengers have to bring/buy they're own foot pegs! ;-)

I was quoted $250 for the footpegs; arrival date -- about a month from now.

Thanks - now that our dollar is more or less at par I'll use this to argue for a lower price vs the $350 they quoted me... ;-)

I brought my bike home last week... sans the promised foot pegs. The manager of the local dealership told me that Zero is having problems with the 3rd party vendor for the pegs. The pegs are now not expected until... July

While at Sear's Point this weekend I got the scoop on why the passenger foot pegs are delayed.

Originally Zero had designed the passenger foot pegs to match the rider foot pegs, i.e., flat. But after testing it the passenger was not comfortable with knees bent and ankle flexed on the flat pegs.  So Zero decided to switch to a round passenger foot peg, making it easier for the passenger to position their feet. Now they are waiting for approval of the new design, then they can start producing them.

Thanks for the info, oobflyer.  That makes sense.

so in the meantime we DIY with a pipe into the lower hollow frame tube. would just work I guess.

Yup, it works

When I asked about getting the foot pegs before the Laguna Seca Motorcycle races at the end of July, this was the response from Norcal Mastercraft:

Keep your fingers crossed.  Zero has a tentative date of 6/30.  They will be checking with the manufacturer around the 15th.

So, I bought a 24" piece of PVC pipe, a couple of 2" caps, and some "grip tape" - it's better than nothing.

My wife and I rode 30 miles (each way) to a nearby town (Rio Vista) - the temporary foot pegs did the job nicely.

I got the email yesterday that the foot pegs are in - woo hoo! The dealership is shipping them to me - I should have them soon

The foot pegs, complete with "seat strap", are now on the Store / Accessories / Street page at zeromotorcycles.com for $349.99...

I like the PVC pipe kluge for the price difference!  Might get a bit jiggy on a bumpy road tho...

 

[manlytom]

I checked out hte Zero page and cannot fully figure how they go on -- exactly were and seems to have more bits than just the pegs...

photos pls. once someone has them installed.

I think they bolt into two holes on the inside of the vertical frame members near the rear of the battery. You can't see the holes; I had to feel for them.
