Does such a thing exist?  Quite often, I'll come back into the parking lot and see someone eyeing my bike. I'm only too happy to tell them about it, but what about the folks who have already gone their way?  How would they know what the bike is?  (I've taken off the fake tank and put on a fairing, so there aren't many clues for the untrained eye).

If there are no stickers, is there at least a good quality jpeg of the 4-circle image, so that I can get something professionally done to slap on my fairing?

Cut to template. Hope Billy Corgan has a sense of humor.

I put these on the exposed sides of the battery. Pretty sure I got the idea from someone here on the forum:

Existing brand FYI 'Electric California' More information about the brand from their website.

The reference I made is to the Zero Skateboard clothes brand from the 1990's, and a particular long sleeve shirt that Billy Corgan (of Smashing Pumpkins alternative rock fame) wears on just about every appearance for the band's "Glam Rock" outfit phase; it became so iconic that the rights to produce that specific shirt design were bought up and replica clothing sold in support of the tour... or so says some stuff on Wikipedia.



I can't be the first person to think of this!?

I kind of feel dirty with any Billy Corgan association. :p That's not really the same brand. Anyway the point is just to say "electric" without any reading. People don't read.

Earlier this year my dealer had "Zero Motorcycles" and "100% Electric" stickers.

So, what my MLP-obsessed daughter would call a "cutie mark"? Like this?
(She's a budding artist and I'm sure I could commission a custom pony just for the zero.)

I had to LOL at this... between my daughter, wife, and that year Bronies took over online... I got the cutie mark reference even without the pic.

So she ran to her computer drawing program and whipped this up:

99% of the time it's

"Cool bike, what is it?"
A Zero all electric.
"Who makes it?"
Zero in California.
"I didn't know such a thing existed."
Cost, specs, range,etc.
"Who made it?"
Zero Motorcycles.

I love telling people about it cause I'm into it, but it's not for everyone. Some people just will never get it, their loss!

So far, everyone has been quite enthusiastic about it.  And the icing on the cake is when I tell them about the amazing Lightning.

@brian: I see you are using a tank bag. How do you attach it to the bike? Magnetic flaps aren't working since it is all plastic and aluminum. And a tank cap mount isn't perfect either.
So.. How do you do it??

Yeah, I spent a while on this topic. I found a Firstgear tank bag with removable magnets and a loop strap to go around the risers (and J inlet). I haven't run a strap to the rear points but intend to.

It's also worth mentioning that the tank is relatively small so tank bags with a large footprint will not fit well, either.
