These E Grom replicas seem to be very popular in Canada. I think one of these would be great to go for fun rides or an occasional work or errand trip. In the U.S. unfortunately there aren't a lot of places that these can be used. Again it all depends on your state and the laws, but Canada seems to be the perfect place for one of these.

Looking at a few Grom Style Electric Motorcycles from a few dealers :

Motorino XMR
Armada Retaliator
Daymak EM1

If anyone has any reviews or comments on these bikes or knowledge of the Chinese model they are rebadged as it would be appreciated.

I don't have personal experience with these bikes but I have been looking at all electric motorcycles available to purchase. I would ask where you are from and plan to ride? The reason for that is these all are governed to go about 32kph and max distance around 50-60km. I've only seen these used in Canada since you can ride these in the bike lanes there. In the U.S. there are different laws per state whether you can ride in bike lanes. They also use lead acid batteries with 200-300 charge cycles, but I believe some have the option of upgrading to lithium.

I suggest looking on YouTube for people that own one of these and asking for their experience with them. They look just like the Grom and I am all for electric but not sure if these would make sense for a lot of people due to lack of speed and distance. So it would depend on what you would want one of these for, just having fun or needing to use it for your main transportation.

I can vouch that it's a fun bike to ride. Wish it just went faster.

There are a number of re-sellers of this bike,

I think this is another one of them:

I have not seen any reviews of them, but I haven't looked very hard.

Yes there are quite a few of these motorcycles out there that look alike. They all have their own individual specs that each company requests. The TORC GT-E seems to be the best bang for your buck that I could find. It has a bluetooth programmable controller that controls the bikes performance, and I have not seen that on any other model.

There are no reviews that I have seen either and that's disappointing. I'm planning on buying one, so will just have to give the first review and show what it's all about.

Found this while searching for electric motorcycles. A company in Bermuda has these bikes custom built with their specs from China to keep the cost down. They have bluetooth technology, full fairing and reverse as a few of their features. They sell them in 3,000watt 6,000watt 8,000watt and up to 15,000watts with upgraded controller. Prices from $4,875-$9475.
They have 96volt 80ah lithium batteries with 80 mile range and top speed varying for different wattages(50mph-105mph). Interested to hear other people's opinions about this electric motorcycle. The company also has other models but this is their flagship product.

Who will be the first to get a 2018 Zero? Place your bets!

I ordered a 2018 S with PT from my dealer yesterday. All it took was a phone call and a credit card.

Wow, lucky you! When can you expect to receive your new S?

Im checking the Zero website right now... I can only get a new SR in WHITE?? What the fuck?
Its not even a color. It looks like a teenage girl's iPhone.

Their not to mention their whole damn site is horrible now.

Im extremely disappointed. I will be buying a new SR after the start of the new year, but I dont want a white one. Now I have to order '17 plastics or paint my brand new bike. You would think they would realize that color OPTIONS should be a thing... like every other bike.

I second your opinion. Am highly disappointed in the white color choice for the SR as well. I wasn't a huge fan of the red either but would take that over the white option. I'm not sure what I plan to do when I get mine in April. It cost quite a bit to have a bike painted, (I want black) and these are expensive enough. Decisions, decisions.

Ugh. Kinda disappointed in the color choice for the SR. (White) I know you can't please everyone but was really hoping for black. Other than that excited about the 2018's.

I don't have a Zero yet, but I dropped my first motorcycle a Kawasaki Ninja 250 twice. $:-\$ The first time was when I stopped in front of my house on a sloped street and leaned over and the bike went down with me. The second time was before I took a safety course or really knew how to ride. I was riding around my block and tried shifting from first to second but instead shifted into neutral while making a turn and panicked and fell over. Honestly after that I knew shifting wasn't for me and have had only automatic motorcycles ever since then. That's just one of the reasons I love Zero motorcycles and hope to have one soon.
