Hipsters and what they ride
« on: August 01, 2017, 08:41:16 PM »

I got a kick out of this blog by Motorcycle.com and especially the description of "hipsters" on the first page.  Apparently Zeros are not a hipster favorite, though.   ;)

Not sure it maters but that article is about 3.5 years old.

But wait.......

There's more

There will always be more.   ::)  And there will always be recycled blogs on the internet.  It seems as though there aren't enough new ones being written every day and the old ones have to be re-posted occasionally to keep the advertiser money flowing in.  ;)

I'm going go on a limb and say that people who are calling Zero bikes hipster bikes don't care much for hipster riders nor Zero bikes. Therefore let's just throw a single umbrella over them both.

I don't think anyone has ever called a Zero a "hipster bike".  At least not yet.  Maybe in another 20 years.   ;)

Oh, I've seen it here and there, mainly whenever a Zero Ad shows up on Facebook. But yeah 11.4kWh with a 3000w charger would be pretty hipsterish in 20 years when we have a 500kWh capacity motorcycle with a 2 megawatt charger on board.
