What was the deal when you put the deposit.

Did you do the deposit with a card that could be reversed?

A $500 uncrating deposit with card and pay in full at pick up is what  I have dealt with.  Probably most do credit.
Edit, email communication of all fees and amount due.
To spec out an F150 was $1000 deposit and real close to that shipping from Kansas City.

I think about getting one of those tw200 a few weeks every year when ground is soft, have heard they are a commuter vehicle dressed different for our market.

The part about sales tax is confusing.

Yeah... Sales tax?  There shouldn't be any CA sales tax to someone taking delivery in another state.  CA state law says sales tax is determined by where the delivery address is.

Did your dealer buy it from another dealer, and then transport it themselves?

I put down $2500 on my card to hold the bike.  No price at that time.  I didn’t sign anything so I assume my bank would reverse.because I was under the impression that a refundable deposit. 
Sales tax has to be paid in the state and address where the bike is registered. 
I love my TW.  I put 500 mostly off road  (logging) miles on it.  It was a good bike  to get back into riding after almost 40 years. Once I learned about zeros I had to have one to experience the quiet and to not terrify the wildlife. 
The dealer had the bike on order.  They had just sold the other one they had in stock.
I asked them to take $299 off the freight.  Waiting to hear back.
Thanks for

Am new to this forum. Just recently bought a used 2015 Zero SR, and learning how to ride it. I've been a biker for awhile, and put 70,000 miles on my 1999 Harley FXDX, and wanting something different. I do not do long rides any more, and stick close to home, so this ride will be perfect for me. Theoretical range of about 120-150 in city and maybe half that or better on the highway, depending on how I ride, I guess. Living in northeastern Minnesota and the nearest dealer for this ride is about 200 miles away, so I will be doing my own wrenching, just like I did on the gasoline ride...except much less of it. Hooray for me. If I want to lift the bike to get it straight-up vertical for brakes and tires, a conventional center lift is out of the question. I do see a couple of very nice structurally solid tubular voids that go straight through the frame, that look like thy will lend themselves nicely to the task. While I can likely fabricobble something that will do the job, I figure I should see what has already been done, first. So, what do you do to lift a Zero SR?

There's a website I maintain, the Unofficial Zero Manual, probably just right for owners like you without ready dealer access: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Main_Page

There's an article just on using a lift: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Lift

Thanks for your reply, re my lifting query. I did use the easy-peasy lumber through the limber hole lift, and it worked perfectly! Got my front brake bled, and then adjusted the tracking on the drive belt, and I'm feelin' pretty perky, now.

I now am now a 2020 FX owner which I purchased from MotoCorsa in Portland yesterday.
I’m not finding a newer FX owner thread and I’m wondering if I should I start one?
If there is one could someone point me to it.  Otherwise I’ll start one.
Thank again to Crissa and others for their advice which led me to the purchase.

Hi everyone!

First things first  :) so,

My name is Nacho. I live in Spain, and been riding motorbikes for almost 20 years.

I've recently come across electric motorbikes, as I discovered Damon motorcycles last year and read about their success in the last CES 2020. They still have a long way ahead, before reaching the market with their Hypersport, but on paper, their numbers seem impressive. And their bike is nothing but awesome and beautiful.

I find electric motorbikes increasingly attractive, not only Damon, but Energica, Lito, etc. and it's obvious the future of bikes is electric. So I hope to learn much more about them around here.

Cheers!

By any chance are you the same Nacho in the Venturers  Forum?

Hey Nacho!  Welcome aboard and extra welcome for your Damon interest.
I've kind of taken the lead when it comes to Damon info and updates.
Here is a quick link to the main Damon thread I like to keep fresh until maybe it gets it's own section.

https://www.electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=9750.0

You can find it in the Electric Motorcycle News section.
I do hope Damon is able to keep their heads above water with all that's going on.  It's hard to do in the best of times much less with all these challenges.
It does seem like a fantastic bike so far though.

Hey NEW2elec, thanks for your welcome!

Yes, I've been hanging around here for a couple days before actually signing in.

And as far as I've read, yes, you've taken the lead and you seem pretty lonely, defending Damon virtues almost by yourself  ;D

It's true, they're completely new and unknown, they're a startup and they have a really long way ahead of them. And that maybe they're trying to many things for their bike at once (Co-Pilot, Shift, E2V, beside their impressive 200s), as I've read in this forum.

But, as you say, the Damon seems like a fantastic bike so far, I like their ideas and their ambitions for a smarter and safer bike that can compete with actual ICE bikes, like the Panigale, the RSV4 or japanese superbikes.

I'm sold and I hope everything pans out when they actually release their bikes to market, hopefully in later 2021 or 2022. Especially because one of them should come my way  ::) :D


I guess I'll see you around  ;)


Cheers
