Zero have also been buying back older models. I think up to 2014, gets a buyback from Zero. So long as you are buying another one. The buy back on 2013 and older is generous.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Import Duty

I read today that the EU have identified American Motorcycles as one of the items to have it's import duty increased as a response to the developing trade war with the US. That's not going to help to push the sales, the bikes are already quite expensive.

Thanks Fred, just waiting on  a new throttle to be delivered at the moment.

Thanks Brian, I'm hoping that it is the throttle that is the problem The bike has the acceleration of a Robin Reliant at the moment. First step replace the throttle I think.

Hi everybody, has anybody any experience of dismantling the throttle? I have an issue with my throttle response being poor from a standstill. But before I dismantle the throttle would there be anything that I could service myself. Or should I bin it and just get a new one?

@ Gborgan.

Have you heard anything back from Zero? As with yourself and others I have lost about 20% after the firmware update.

To be honest I haven't noticed any difference in my battery usage with low temperatures.

Stock 2014 S. Used for a daily commute of  40miles. Ex demonstrator with 600 miles on the clock. Now 6600 miles. No problems at all, even got plenty of miles left on the back tyre.

I use Bennetts. Purchase via topcashback.co.uk though, it will save you a lot more money.

No plans to sell, I was going to run it for a few years, hopefully. My annual mileage is about 10k. Planning to get my money's worth out of it.

There must be something Zen like, riding the Zero. I feel so relaxed on the bike. Perhaps it's the lack of vibration or noise. Maybe it's the understated way in which it accelerates. Standing to national speed limit without any drama. On the roads I ride, if someone ones to drive like a knob, I move over and let them crack on. I know I'll pull alongside at the next junction or set of lights. I sometimes miss my BMW,  then other times not. For me the Zero has more advantages than disadvantages

A frustrating wait then. At least your not missing out on any decent weather.

That's great. I'm sure the ride is a world away from the 2013. Enjoy

Personal opinion, but I feel the bikes are a safe ride. The regen is hugely effective at slowing the bike down, perfect for wet riding. I am much more attentive and have sharper anticipation, because I am not relying on super hot breaks to stop me in an instant if I make a wrong judgment. I'd like to look at the SR, but really the S does everything I need. (I wonder what the resale of my S would be?)
