To decide whether or not I could make the jump to electric motorbike as well as electric car, I arranged with Streetbike in Halesowen (England) to take out their demo Zero DSR ZF13 on a longer ride out.

I covered 75 miles on a beautiful April day and headed over to the beautiful town of Ludlow and back, deliberately riding how I would ride my normal motorbike.

I tweaked the Zero's custom mode using the phone app and set regen and braking regen to 100% to really get an equivalent strong engine braking feel to my ICE bike (a Honda CBF 1000) and put energy back into the battery (I drive my LEAF electric car in B mode generally and 25% of my energy consumption is from regen on that).

What did I think of the Zero DSR ZF13?

I ordered one the next day.
