Zero S, DS and X: The lightweight electro-bikes in pictures
-
Site Online Editor Gerd Stegmaier
In the beginning was the electric crosic with mountain bike brakes. Now Zero Motercycles brings a street machine. Reach: 100 kilometers. Test drive with 100 km / h.
The contact person of the Munich PR agency receives the guests with thick-connected hand and crushed face. In the answer to the promised question "Testahrt done, what?", Freezing most journalists laughing in the face. No joke: The young man had dared the ride on Zero S – and fell promptly.
The small accident but conveys a completely wrong impression of the new electric motor wheel for the road. Because the 100 kilogram light bike is very easy to drive – so easy that the PR man, in the deliberate intention to speak of my own experience, has also dared without a driver’s license (on locked terrain) in the saddle. The playful handling with the same powerful motorization then led him according to their own statement on "riskier maneuvers".

Switch on and drive off
The trigger is violent and acts even more impressive due to the almost silent propulsion. For the first time, sounds are in the foreground that motorcyclists are likely to have perceived previously: the running noise of the tires on the rough asphalt next to the regatta stretch, the intervention of the chain on the pinion. At a low pace, even birds of twist penetrates the helmet driver ear. At maximum speed (around 100 km / h) dominate the wind and powerful whirring of the electric motor.

Range / performance
If the range is at 300km / h, it would be a usable device. 100 km range is one … Joke.
Costs
The biggest costs go to the battery. He holds a maximum of 1000 charging cycles and costs determined 3000 €. Pro loading then does 3 €.
alltogether
Laws do not lead to the right path but that this way will be unsympathetic. The development of such devices is a step in this way and until the performance and range of the broad mass are sufficient also energy generators in solar, wind, tides…-Retrofit energy. Until then it is up to every self whether Otto, diesel or volts from A to B lead.
???
And the stream comes out of the can or? A few kilometers away, the nearest coal power plant blows the dirt into the air!!!
What do you want
Fossil fuels as used in conventional vehicles A) are always finally and B) always loaded with CO2. Even if the fossil fuels one day comes to an end, you will still be able to drive with electric vehicles. Nothing prevents them already today for their electric vehicle eco-electricity.
Something good
It would be hopefully ending with the "Cult factor" a surprised, technically outdated American brand, whose driver never greet (can) because they have to hold the parts together.
Dangerous
The drivers of these vehicles must be more careful, not primarily the pedestrians! Generally, I think it’s great if the street noise would be reduced. Why in motorsport still noise with power is compared to I will never understand. Quietly is sexy!
Dangerous
Noiseless motorcycles can be very dangerous. We rely much more in traffic on our ear when this is aware. In Zermatt (Switzerland), where only electric furniture is going around, you have to be incredibly careful when you are not used to it.
Perfect…
… For the small off-road insert after work through the local nature. No noise, not annoyed neighbors, strollers or hunters,… For 5000 euros I would put one in the garage instead of my 2-stroke offroader.
Nobody believe it
…that a Umdenken in terms of energy or rather the change to electric vehicles remains favorable or ? The current energy prices which regularly rise by many times, let this dream burst. But apart from that, the efficiency of the E-motors is about 80% for a V-engine at 40% that speaks for itself ! I think the idea is great.
Quad
And every motorcycle that rides instead of gasoline, almost noiseless through the city, is already less environmental impact due to less noise. Sure, there are engines that possess real sound, yet it is time to completely redeem. The most allest ones require a two-wheeler, which is absolutely needed more than 80 or 100 kilometers range per day. Forever yesterday was said that the electric movement of the future is heard without any twofold. Straight domestic cities and residential areas would give them significantly larger quality of life.
