I could not help notice the 85,000 mph top speed. That should be good in rush hour traffic.

Good for touring. By the time your ass hurts the battery is dead. No need to plan rest stops.

I rode the Zero SR/F ( not to be confused with Hero) last summer. I nearly bought one. I haven’t had so much fun on a bike since I sold my Yamaha RD400 twin cylinder two stroke street bike. That Zero has incredible pick up.

While it has a charge....would you happen to know what the battery costs to replace?

No. I asked the guy and he said something along the lines of it outlasting the bike. I think it has a 200 mile range but that is city riding. He said it won’t get that on the highway and wouldn’t really say what it would get on the highway. He just kept rambling on about variables, wind direction, wind speed, riding habits. Etc.

I was sold anyway. I wanted to trade in my 2013 BMW S1000RR and he wouldn’t take it. That pretty much killed the sale.

They’re coming though and to be honest I’m looking forward to it.

If the battery outlasts the bike, what does that tell you about the construction of the bike? Mentality of most manufacturers today, throw it away and buy another one from us :evil: .
