Hi Cam,
Your talking my neck of the woods in WI.  Plenty of ice on most lakes here, but that is an older picture of one of my other bikes with ice tires.  I should be out there riding today.
Sorry to hear about your DS.  It is an awesome machine, you need to revive it.

Hey Coal,

Yeah, the plan is to resuscitate the DS.  It is only a matter of time.  Like most things in life...

WI is cold.  Especially for someone like me, from Oz.  My wife finds it hot here most of the time, even though we live in a cooler "Mountain" area (the Southern Highlands)  (read large hills)  Australia is pretty flat....  We get a bit of snow here once every few years.  A light dusting at most usually....

We can ride all year here  ,  Without the risk of frostbite!!!

Whats up Cam,

WI is warming up, it was only a matter of time.  We ride here all year but have some time off during ice forming and thawing.  We try to battle the frostbite with fire and warm clothing.  I have heated grips that give me some flexibility.  It's all worth it when you get that sensation of two wheel performance that puts you in the zone of what we cyclists crave.  Pushing the limits.

This is what it is like when it is cold here

Greetings from Los Angeles!

I've been lurking for some time now. But I recently picked up a Zero XU 2.8 from the "buy/sell/trade" sub-forum, so now I feel like I belong and should post! 

I've been wanting to purchase an EV since I started riding a year ago, but have been patiently waiting for a deal on a used bike. My previous bikes were older, high-mileage Ducatis. First was a Monster (too cramped), second was a Multistrada (comfy, but kinda heavy), and now the XU.

I'm loving it so far. I swapped out all the red plastics for new black FX fairings and fenders. Next on my list are new tires and maybe a second battery.

Hey Cam; great to hear about another Aussie with an early DS. I've got a 2010 which I've just sold to s friend who is keen. I did lots of Mod's to get the motor, fusing, filtration and other things right, then it worked a treat, but I stacked it. Almost fixed. But the 2014 got me hook line and sinker.

Hi everyone. Just joined this forum. I'm based in Perth, Western Australia. I am a longstanding 2012 Volt owner and have just ordered a 2015 Zero SR. This forum has helped a lot with my research of the Zero before buying, so looking forward to the experience. Thanks for your help so far

Hi guys!

I am from Holland and just bought myself a Zero DS. After a year driving an electric BMW i3, I got addicted to electric driving. I expect this bike within 2-3 weeks. I chose the white one. I dont like both colors so much so I am thinking about wrapping or painting in an other color. I made some samples in PS:

Hi everyone,

New kid on the block. I am really interested in learning about ebikes. Could anyone please help me get on my feet by offering sources or books that would help me start my journey? I'm an EE major, so technical books are appreciated. Anything helps. I plan to use this forum as well. Awesome resource and I'm sure it's full of awesome people. Thanks.

I test rode a 2014 Zero S 11.4 yesterday.  It was alot of fun, and I think I'm going to put a deposit down on a 2015 Zero SR.  They didn't have an SR for me to test ride though. Before I spoke with the finance manager, I was thinking that the S model was plenty fun enough.  Then they showed me what my payments would be on the S and SR models, and it came out to a $40 difference per month.  I may be a cheapskate at times, but I don't see any reason to deny myself when all we're talking about is $40.  So, I'm probably going to call the dealer today and make a deposit.

Does anyone regret their E-bike purchase?

Good call Fivespeed, good call.  I'm on my 2nd Zero Motorcycle and they both have brought me incredible joy!

Hi all, noobie in this forum. Bought my Zero S last fall and have enjoyed the first 4600 km immensely! Almost 25 years since my last MC (Moto Gucci), and now I am a grown up women well passed 50, but riding a bike again is great fun In Oslo, Norway I fill a bit lonely on an ebike, but I get to talk to a lot of curious people. The only other ebike I have seen here is a Zero bike in the Technical Museum!
