Olav,

Would you mind detailing your registration experience?  After you installed your street-legal components what was your first step in the registration process and what forms were you required to provide?  I'd be very interested in knowing how the DMV reacted to this electric motorcycle and if anything was questioned concerning a VIN lookup or similar.  If you prefer to keep the conversation offline please PM me. 

Thanks!


Sure I'll round up the documents etc required.

Incidentally, the VIN for the e-xc is a road legal designation.

I'll follow up later with details.

That is exactly why I want to get my E-XC street legal, so I don't have to worry about going anywhere with it.

If you run into any issues or questions give me a shout.

No problem.

I bike comes with the wiring harness already installed.

I had to dig it out of its hiding place which was essentially tucked into the frame in front of the battery and behind the headlight mask and in the 12v battery area compartment.

I went online to, for example Trevor Pope, to look at the fiche finder:
https://www.trevorpopemotorcycles.co.uk/index.php?main_page=ktm_fiche_finder

I had to get:

From Trevor Pope's site I bought:

1 x Flasher Switch (78111029000)  = £14.20
1 x Brake Light Switch Front L/s (70011050000)  = £32.85

Then I got these parts:

The flasher relay is needed
FLASHER RELAY
90511030000
Relay is not plug n play the two wires need to be hooked up to the first and third plugs found in the 12v battery area.
If you get into any issues with this I can help and take some pics.

You might want to check the length of your kickstand bolt holding it in. It should be 35mm. Mine was 25 and the kickstand sheared off.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Scott! Appreciate all you help and advice!

I highly recommend Scott at Elite!

I'll have to add the "bark buster" type hand guard. I've already rammed a couple of trees hard enough to realize I'll need a little protection in that dept.

Having kids really impacts my ability to get up and go riding somewhere so...

What I love about this bike is that I don't have to plan a whole day to go out riding I can just get on it and ride around my back yard or local options without disturbing anyone that I would have with my ICE bike.

It allows me to get a lot more practice in to develop any skill that I want to get better at or keep some up that get a little rusty from not riding.

Alta Motorcycles / BRD Redshift to sell at BMW MC SF 2014
« on: December 01, 2013, 10:49:35 PM »


"BRD is bringing a whole new dimension to the electric motorcycle market. BRD's bikes are built to outperform their internal combustion counterparts, not just be green for green's sake. This is an approach to electric motorcycles we can get behind which is why we're gonna sell 'em! Coming to BMW Motorcycles of San Francisco in 2014... BRD Motorcycles!"

This is great news. I like the Redshift SM and all the top notch components that it comes with.

The team seems to have a great design philosophy too boot.

One thing I haven't noticed on their SM is what their gauge cluster is going to be?

A mobile device attached?

Most of the info I get about the company is in comments from their exec team from stories.

Congrats Richard230. 

I spent the morning today with Wendy and Teresa.  They always provide us with great feedback and input on how to improve our business.  I know I always try to return the favor and return their calls in a heartbeat.  Of course, this is where I get my Yamaha V-Star serviced (which isn't getting many miles these days).  So I am biased.

Looks like the info is correct after  all.

Yah Teresa is "helpful".

Or,

Mission is the only Zero dealer for Northern California so a Zero customer is force to deal with those people if they want one.

While there are 9 Yamaha dealers minimum in the Bay Area alone that customers would rather do business with than that dealer.

I wish whoever does dealer expansion/relations at Zero would get off their ass and find a quality dealer in the South Bay.

Ah, nice.

So, what's stopping you from getting the SR? :)

Just go have a look at it...

Tempting, but I think my wife would kill me and use it to run over my corpse.  ;D
I only *just* got away with buying my 2012 ZF9S...  ;)

So what agreement did you come too?

My wife is reluctantly on board too.

You should have seen the Hap Jones/Dave Golden BMW/BSA/Tohatu/Vespa showroom on Valencia Street, near Market, in San Francisco, where I bought my first two-wheel vehicle, a 1962 Vespa 125 motor scooter.  Dark, dank, and with goon-type salesmen.   ::)  The Mission Motorcycle showroom is better.  I hear they have been trying to find a larger building in which to operate for some time without any success.  I think the reason that they haven't made any improvements to the place is that they are just leasing the facility and don't want to make any investments to a building that they would like to move out of.  I don't spend any time visiting their website, I would rather go there in person and talk to a real human.

Ahh the good load days, 1962 is a little before my time.

Good to hear Mission is trying to find a better place.

For not wanting to spend time on a web site you are interacting here a lot :)

Zero lost 50% of their dealers in the Bay Area which is the heart of Silicon Valley.

That's irony.

And the one dealer left doesn't represent the brand very well.

What dealer is that?  Monroe Motors?  Mission Motorcycles in Daly City seems to be going strong. Whenever I visit the shop the sales staff is quite willing to talk about Zeros and they have several on the showroom floor in a prominent location. I was planning to visit them on Tuesday and put a deposit down on a 2014 S.


Munroe used to sell Zeros too.

Well if you include them that's a 66.6% drop in dealers in the Bay Area.

It sounds like you grew up with Mission so you are used to their philistine ways.

I mean just look at their first gen website and their biker bar showroom.

I wish Zero could find a more youthful, modern dealer that knows and appreciates the product by giving some proper space on the showroom floor. Not just packed in there like a bunch os sardines.

For more discriminating/sophisticated buyers that place is a real turn off.

It's a tragedy
