Zero S delay?
« on: May 29, 2009, 07:06:09 PM »
The first bikes should be out now? Has the release date slipped? Anyone seen info on anyone getting one yet?

No word yet.  You would think thevfirst delivery would be a good PR oppertunity. Have not heard of a delay.

I talked with sales yesterday. They are working on the DOT certification and will begin shipping as soon as that is complete. They expected another week or two before it is done.

Talked with sales again. They have completed the DOT certification stuff. Right now they are getting ready to start shipping bikes and hope to ship out 150 of them in July to customers.

Man I hope that I can get my ZERO S soon, I have had a deposit on the S since December and need to get the S
to get my sales of ZERO's going. They just keeps on slipping the date. Thanks for the forum on ZERO's as I think they
are the next level of electric vehicle technology. All the Best..........All the Time

Considering all of the news out there about Zero I think the company's priorities are marketing and R&D. It doesn't seem like production and delivery have the priority that it should. The dates just keep getting pushed back and not sure how long I will wait for one. It is frustrating.

Any idea if they were a regular order or if they were something special since they are a dealer?

Not sure. I don't have any information beyond that tweet.

Im going to guess that order was sent out of states because of the cert. delay. Maybe the 50hz guys are going to work the cert needed for that side of the pond for Zero.

Yesterday I received a small box in the mail that had a Zero Motorcycles T-shirt in it along with a couple of decals and a form letter from VP of Marketing John Loyd, saying that the bikes would start shipping in July...

Cool, let us know when you get the bike (you have a deposit down right?), Im looking forward to hearing some reviews from owners and hearing from my local rep for a test ride...

Yeah I have a deposit down but I am in a weird situation because I can't really justify paying an extra $1,500 for the bike to get it a few months early. Right now, if I purchase it, I won't ever receive the the $1,500 rebate that will be offered by the California Air Resources Board in the future. So unless I can come up with some kind of creative deal with Zero, I'll likely be one of the later people owning one of these bikes...
