Zero S - Makeover
« on: February 20, 2020, 03:07:13 AM »
Hello Everyone !

I saw very nice things here ! (but not a lot) So I wanted to share my pics with you !

I bought a Zero S in 2019 and I was very disappointed by the full black color of the bike... and no other color proposed...

So I decided to do something about it, and it cost me approximately 130 € (paint + varnish + sandpaper + 3M stickers)

The day I bought it


Now, it looks more like this
 

Don't hesitate to put the pics of your modified ebike in this thread !

PS : I think it would be very nice to have a fixed post in the first page, so everyone could easily post or have a quick look on the users bikes !

That is a very nice paint and sticker job.  A big improvement over the original.   :)

Really nice and cheap mod! I wish I had the courage to do that to my new dsr 2020 :D
Congrats!

P.D: It is very disapointing the choice of colors for zero bikes :(

Nice work! I don't think I would have gone with the Harley color theme though.

I like the orange!

Since you invited others to show, here's what mine's come along so far:



 

Not as snazzy as the orange paint, but... Custom graphics!  And one of every Zero logo.  The original came with stickers on the front fender and windscreen, and I wanted a cleaner look.  I liked the new Zero logo, so I put it on the windscreen like is on say, a Tesla's nose.

I see the old logo and the current logo but where's the intermediate logo, crissa?

The one that looks like a road going into the distance, i mean.  That's the "Z" I like.

I agree. That would make a good logo.   :)

I like it, but they never did anything with it.  If they'd made a silver logo with it... I think people didn't read it as a Z so the re-did it to the naught logo.

Anyhow, it's visible on the tank pads.

It's on my windshield.

Too car-logo.  Like Mazda or something. But fits with the "Gulfstream" design language of the SR/s, I guess.

You have a silver swoosh on your windscreen?  Lucky!

I had to add the new naught logo myself.
