gadget 123. Is your X street legal? I live in Oceanside and have a street legal X. I also have a friend with a street legal X and we occasionally ride mountain bike trails in north county. Which dealer did you buy the bike from?

My Zero X is street legal and i just throw the charger in a back pack. I thought about mounting it on the bike but it didnt like the way it looked. Also there are times when i dont need the charger on the bike.

Pics and Vids / ZERO MX up Palomar Mountain
« on: February 03, 2010, 11:17:58 AM »
My buddy Charlie just bought a ZERO MX.  We took the bikes to Palomar Mountain and rode up the west side which is mostly dirt. He made a video just click on the youtube link to watch it. We made it to the top and free wheeled it all the way down.  Both of our bikes have light kits and they are street legal for CA.

You can ride very slowly. I can stop at a stop sign momentarily and not put my foot down.

Guity, If you live in So Cal why don't you come and ride my bike. Its a Street legal Zero X with perm motor and small sprocket. I ride it almost every day to work (10 mile commute). Part of my ride is on a 55 mph highway. Your right you could go by a Suzuki or whatever and save on initial cost. The Zero is a totally different type of ride. There is nothing like coming to a stop sign and hearing dead silence. Then you take off like a rocket ship. People driving next to me or walking down the sidewalk are constantly doing a double take. I ride this thing all over the place and no one hears me, its great! I had a lady riding her horse past me and she was totally amazed by the Zero. It didn't bother her horse one bit. She thought it was the best thing ever. If you want to ride it give me a call. 760-815-4000

You are going to need a motorcycle license to demo the Zero S. Zeros Insurance Company requires it. If you want to ride my street legal zero X I live in Oceanside Ca. my number is 760-815-4000

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / I got to ride the ZERO S
« on: May 21, 2009, 09:44:00 AM »
I  was lucky enough to get to ride the Zero S at the Semper Ride event in  San Diego. When I sat on the bike it felt a lot like the X. It definitely rides different. It accelerates like a stock X without the perm motor but has a much better top end. I hit 58 mph easily. This will make a great commuter bike. My X has the perm motor so its much quicker due to the lighter weight and bigger sprocket but the S will walk away from it after it catches up.

I made some passenger foot pegs and my wife and I cruised Del Mar and Solana Beach today.  Even with two of us on the bike I didnt have any problems with braking.  I went through a lot of stop signs Although we were just cruising. I ran into a guy who just put deposit down on a Zero S but after he rode my bike he decided to switch to the X and make it street legal. My brakes do sqeek on occasion
But it's not that often. Is the sqeeking do to them getting hot?

Baja designs supplied me with the statement of facts and all that was listed was the lights and horn. The vin gets verifed at the DMV. Since there is no engine number the verifer marks the box that says "none". No one said anything about the tires. As  for the brake light Baja designs added a micro switch under the left brake lever to activate the brake lights. It works great.

I dont know what the cost of the kit will be check with Zero. Baja Designs used my bike to make the kit. Once you put the light kit on it has to inspected by a certified light specialist ( this is in CA). They will have a statement of facts that certifies the lights, horn, turn signals all work properly.  The mechanic should also give you a CHP 888 form that you have to sign. Take the statement of facts, the CHP 888 and your Zero to the DMV. They will have to verify the Vin. In order to register a new bike in CA it must have a Federal label. That is unless the bike is under 50 cc's. The ZERO is 0 cc's. The Vin conforms the same as a green sticker bike so an emissions label is not needed. For engine type the DMV needs to use E (for Electric just like an electric car). Some DMV employees dont know what to do with electric motorcycles. Let them know that several of these bikes have been registered and if they say it cant be done talk to a manager.

Im not sure on the cost of the kit. The kit I originally got was the wrong one which was more expensive. I took my bike over to Baja Designs and they used my bike to design the kit specific for the X. Check with Zero. Im going to call my tax guy on the Federal rebate I think it should qualify but we'll see.

This is the Baja Designs kit it was made specific for the Zero X its plug and play. The taillight is LED with a built in license plate light. It looks totally factory.
