Title: Need to rent a newer model EV Dirt Bike for a video shoot in Los Angeles March 1
Post by: detroitprops on March 07, 2021, 02:07:29 AM

Hello from Detroit.  I work on commercials and vehicle releases, and I'm heading to Los Angeles for a job that shoots March 17th.  I have been trying to rent a couple of Electric Dirt bikes, but have been struggling to find much.  I may not be in the right place, but I tend to have pretty good luck searching forums for props.  The bike won't be ridden in the shot, but may be walked into frame.  I would need the bike delivered, and picked up.  We are shooting in a secure location in Thousand Oaks.  The company I'm working for is fully insured, and capable of paying a decent rental amount.  I'll need pics of any bikes to send to the decision makers.  Please feel free to ask anything.  I sign a Non-disclosure on most of my jobs, but I'll get any answers that I can.  Thanks for taking the time to read this!  It could end up being a great opportunity for someone.

Maybe contact Harlan Flag at Hollywood Electrics  323 654-8271

He's about 30 miles away but they are a big time Zero dealer and might be interested.

How serious/aggressive of a ride? The last company that made a motocross-worthy dirt bike was Alta, and they folded a couple years back. They have an active forum here: https://altaownersforum.com/

edit- derp I just read it won't even need to be ridden. A Zero FX should be fine, then. Harlan Flagg is probably your best option.
