Looks like Zero just extended their fuel for life offer for the month of May.  I just purchased a DSR because of this offer as it makes the final price much more reasonable.

It's a good deal. Hope they start sending out the April Visa cards soon ;-)

Anyone got their April Fuel For Life Visa card yet? I _need_ that laptop.

They emailed me a few days ago to validate address.  So I assume it's on the way.

Oh nice! Zero emailed directly? Or your dealer?
Can I ask when you bought your bike?

I wouldn't be surprised if this became an effective permanent discount. ie, even if it expires in may, good chance that you will be able to negotiate a discount with a dealer in the $500-1000 range.

And next year, we'll see the discount incorporated into a new MSRP.

Great idea.  It really underscores the affordability of electricity.

I ride ~100 Whr/mile and I'm on $0.15/ kWhr rates, so I only get 55,000 miles, but that is a lot for any motorcycle.

YRMV

$1000 / ($0.15/kWh * 100 Wh/mile) = 67k miles, no? Or is your 100 Wh/mile before AC/DC conversion loss?

I haven't checked the AC consumption, but DC I typically average 60-80 Wh/mile. I suspect even after AC conversion it is significantly more efficient than my 2012, despite being heavier and MUCH more powerful.

I rode the other day out to 79 miles and had 37% battery remaining, in the type of riding where my 2012 would have had about 70-80 miles of range.

I ordered my bike April 1st and picked it up April 9th.  Zero Motorcycles e-mailed me May 4th. 

I'm also working through California's rebate process.  They finally just got back to me a few days ago to validate information.

Thanks gingerjet. Still waiting to hear anything.

I calculated the figure with 88% charge efficiency.  I did mesure it once with a Kill-O-Watt and post about it, but me and the Forum found the kWhrs indicated on the bike inaccurate.

The US Post Office left me a note about an attempted delivery from Zero Motorcycles so it appears that Zero is delivering on the gift cards.

Doesn't do me much good at the moment as I am out of the country for the rest of the week.

Anyone have predictions for what will happen when May is over?  I'm getting ever closer to pulling the trigger on a  bike, but this month really doesn't work for me (about to move cross-country).  Maybe I'm being overly optimistic, but it seems logical to me that they'll either extend the offer or have a new deal that's of equivalent value.  If they don't, I might just kick myself so hard for missing out that I postpone even more to wait and see what 2017 brings and/or if 2016s get discounted as the model year ends.

Just got my card through today!!! Thank you zero!!! Enjoy yours whoever has one coming:)

Waiting for mine.. Hoping there's a new Mac Book Pro coming in June, and if so, that's where it will go..
