So you put an order down?
I noticed solarwerkstatt is the dealer and sells as well scooters etc. do you find that working with them, believe they sold you the 2012?
Meaning are the suitable or even a better alternative to your local Honda or Kawasaki dealer?
They would have electrical knowledge and the remaining mechanical items on electrics is no rocket science to fix and maintain. Just interesting to your or anybody's feedback if "non-traditional" dealers work out to sell and support Zeros.

Hi Tom,
Solarwerkstatt is my local dealer and since I am very interested in the technique and have used my Zero daily they asked me if I like to help at the booth.
In my case it works perfect with a "non-traditional" dealer, the person maintaining the motorcycles is a biker to the core, worked in a traditional bike store before. Therefore I feel better to have someone with electronic background fiddling at my battery-box instead of a motorcycle mechanic.
On the other side I don't know a traditional motorcycles dealer selling e-bikes here.
I guess the will just jump-in if there will be more turnover or their customer have lost a "drag race" at the traffic light. ;D
