Having spent a few years now answering questions about electric motorcycles from regular motorcyclists, I think this does us a disservice.

Feel free to use the image somewhere else. Let's just not brand a user-contributed service manual and information guide with the visual equivalent of scare quotes. The forum or your own blog can have the "cool effects".

Zeropointzero. You need to print that on a T-shirt, stat!  Damn that is cool!  I'd buy that T-shirt, damn Id buy two!

I do agree with Brian's assessment.  Some people are dumb.  Like really dumb.  I have played the "how many cc is it", "zero" "no how many cc is it?" Game far too often:p

I do send people to the unofficial owners manual website for reference when considering buying a zero. It's a powerful tool, something friendlier would be preferable. 

Just my two cents!  Still would buy that on a T-shirt.  Think about it!

I like it too, Zeropointzero. But then again, I'm an EE, so electricity doesn't scare me.  It's a fun, exciting sport, and your logo reflects that.

Extra-burly t-shirt for me, please!

I don't wanna charge (pun intended) anybody for a Tshirt, but I might just go make my own at.... https://www.spreadshirt.com/design-your-own-t-shirt

ElecticZen.... Youre right people are really dumb sometimes, but when it comes to E-bikes I expect a certain level of ignorance.  But I LOL'd at your "how many cc is it" comment, cuz I just got that one yesterday.  My standard answer is that its equivalent to a 600cc sportbike. 

Doesn't BrianTRice maintain the Zero Wiki page?  Whomever it is, the logo is the least important element, because it is very well done as is I must say!

I've been known to pretend ignorance and answer, "I'm not sure, but would you take a look for me? I think the exhaust pipe fell off the other day!"

Brian has done an amazing job and has put a HUGE amount of work into the wiki.  Everyone can maintain it though, is a community effort.
Technically I own and pay for the website, but I do very little to keep it up to date and accurate.
I made the logo that is currently used, but it was always a temporary thing. I never intended it as a permanent logo. Im not much of a graphic artist, so I was hoping someone with more talent would come in with a better one.

The logo as branding tells others what kind of flavor the site has.

I just don't want that to spell "electrification". Seriously, it would put me off the site - there are plenty of sites with that kind of look that spell "crazy" or "irresponsible" to me.

FWIW I am personally bothered by it because I was struck by lightning indoors while still a teenager (before working on high voltage nuclear power systems).

Kind of reminds me of a political TV ad.

I cant decide if its 1992 again.. or if I was transported to Vice City.
This is so beautifully horrible.

Thanks for the website link.

I keep staring at it waiting for a Tron bike to go by

I'll upload the first one I made weeks ago just for giggles...

[Skidz]

@BrianTRice omfg i want that on a black shirt!!! That just won the interwebs...

[NEW2elec]

Brian that made my night, the 1992 comment earlier was good but yours had me laughing out loud.

At first I was a little worried when I saw that logo but I'm glad you were just joking.    For some reason it reminds me of Star Search...  By the way I think my logo looks like the bike is being shot by one of the Ghostbusters nuclear reactor ray guns....

No logo, just some thinking out loud -


- So our problem is that we don't have access to an official zero service manual - in fact we have zero official service manuals - and our solution is one unofficial service manual. I am probably finding this funnier than I should.

- I can't help thinking of the wiki as Zarro Manooal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugzilla#Zarro_Boogs). Since we don't really have zero manuals anymore. I mean we do now. Yes we have no bananas.
