      сука Blyat I’ve heard anywhere from 2.8-3 sec. That’s in MPH

      Vids of people actually doing it vary between about 3.4 – 4.8 secs. Not quite sure how you can get such a variation when there’s virtually nothing to it other than whacking the accelerator wide open and waiting, but it’s right there on video for all to see. I tried it myself and the only meaningful timing I could do without a GoPro was “fuuuuuuuu”

      Caspian Prince if they are rolling already or if they are “whacking” the throttle wide open from a stand still and spinning the tire a bit before they take off your going to have varying times. Just a thought. But theoretically they can go about 3 sec if not a tad faster

      @Caspian Prince Best launch is in Sport mode w/ TC OFF and a rider skinnier than me.

      @Bill Kerr I didn’t dare turn off the TC on a demo ride, but then again, it was easily as fast as I dared to go anyway! And hem hem I could maybe do with losing a couple of stone too….

    is it still a startup with being a decade old?
    just what are they starting up?

    I’ll take a Harley instead

    • 1234coolman

      @jurand81 yep, and at a minimum at least I know the company will be running 10 years from now. This company will probably die in 10 years.

    • jurand81

      @1234coolman maybe.. we shall see. Wish them both luck. Zero is a disruptor for sure and you gotta give them credit for what they have accomplished. There would likely not be a Harley electric if it wasn’t for zero

    • The Grappler

      jurand81 I agree. Harley was all talk for years with the Livewire. After Zero making huge leaps in E Motorcycles in under a decade I think that forced Harleys hand to just leap into it. ZERO Is doing really well from what I hear. We will see what the naysayers are talking after some countries ban Gas vehicles and E bikes really take off due to demand increase and the evolution in better tech giving more range and faster charge times

      @1234coolman Looking at this years Harley lineup i think they could be dead in 10 years. Pan America & Street Fighter are monstrous, to name a few. Fat gas guzzling lumps are history. All motorcycles companies need to step up to the EV game (now) or they will be gone.

      Harley Davidson ugluest motorcycle ever made

    The market leader for sure.

    at that price I’d better by a BMW with specs maxed out. or two Hondas. but id wish to buy this one at half of the price which its true look and feel value. its not BMW premium.

    Why is it that when talking about charging times they all quote the charging times of 0-80% rather than 100%?
