MSF approves the 2012 Zero XU as a M/C trainer
« on: June 27, 2012, 01:00:53 AM »

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has approved the 2012 Zero XU in their motorcycle training program. Here is the article:

http://www.autoblog.com/2012/06/26/2012-zero-xu-approved-for-use-in-msf-training-courses/

I guess it will be easier riding around the parking lot without having to worry about using the clutch or figuring out how to shift a motorcycle gearbox.

What will they do for the 4 hours they talk about the clutch's friction zone, lol? At least it will be easier to push across the parking lot :)

Seriously, though, while I applaud yet another step ahead for elmotos, I agree with the article's assertion that training strictly on the XU leaves some important things out of the discussion.
