Title: Zero should merge with SuperSoco
Post by: togo on November 13, 2018, 06:17:27 AM: Zero could use some help in the style department,
and SuperSoco could use some better technology
so they can be the real motorcycles they look like.

Discuss.

These are different classes of bikes . Having worked on and ridden both bikes. Yes the little supersoco bikes are sweet little lightweight commuters, but the zero is a much more substantial, more accomplished and a much higher powered machine. I have just built this cafe racer version for SuperSOCO uk. We will be at the NEC Birmingham Motorcycle Show from Sat 17th Nov. Come and have a look. We will have some great offers.

An acquisition will not resolve this, and would be more costly than the internal investment or shakeup required to accomplish the same effect.

Step one ... increase the price of the bike 500-700 usd

It isn't going to happen and it isn't too hard to add your own now ;)

I think the merge was just a tongue in cheek suggestion implying Zero needs better style.

So I, modifying a single bike, can add an LED headlight for 5x less than the factory can by buying in bulk? They're in dire need of a better procurement manager.

And that supersoco needs better specs, yup.

Sorry, should have I added more emoticons?
