Hi all
Just introducing myself, as requested.
I'm based in Warwickshire, England, and have recently ordered a Zero DSR ZF13 from Street Bike in Halesowen. Thanks to Charlie and Alex there for the test rides and for sorting out my order.
I headed over there again yesterday and saw that the bike had arrived, so now just awaiting the documentation to come through before I can get my greasy mitts on it.
I've been interested in the Zero range for a while and electric vehicles generally for even longer. I bought a Nissan LEAF back in October 2014 and that has been our only family car since then.
Earlier this year I qualified as a local observer with the Institute of Advanced Motorists and since we do lots of check rides of the kind of distance that a Zero could cope with, and because I want my ICE bike (a 2007 Honda CBF 1000) to survive as long as possible for longer trips, around the UK and to continental Europe, I decided to take a closer look again, now that Zero have returned to the UK market. The attitude of Street Bike is reassuring and I hope and trust that Zero are here to stay in the UK market, now that the wider public is gradually losing its scepticism over EVs, probably largely thanks to Tesla.
I'll be interested in finding out about rapid charging options at some point, but am not desperate at the moment.
Anyway, I can't wait to get up and riding with the bike. Should be a matter of 2-3 weeks, all being well now!
