I like the UrbanZebra pattern a lot.

I also like Urban Zebra.   

This is all easily doable with vehicle wrap from 3M.

Works really good on plastic parts and can be removed if you change your mind in the future.

I have it!
It looks soooo sharp in all black.
I might play with more ideas before making that appointment. :)

(By the way, thanks for the feedback!)

Congrats! The black sport model does look great. My DS' green is my other favorite option. That means there are at least 4 2013 Zero riders in the Seattle area. Which means soon enough we should meet over beverages.

Going to test ride on Tuesday. Just waiting for good weather so I can enjoy the demo. I hope the weather forecast does not change.  8) The black color does look great in your photo.

It's looking great tomorrow (Tuesday). I probably don't need to tell ya but... Have fun! Try it on Eco before Sport. ;-) especially if you think you'll try the FX.

I'll be up for meeting over beverages -- coffee? It is Seattle area after all. :)

Cheers!

Tried out the black and yellow 2013 Zero S at the dealer today. Sweet. Totally different experience from an IC bike, hearing what one normally would not hear. The instant torque rocks. I guess I am not telling y'all anything you do not already know. I think I am hooked for a purchase though I am going to sleep on it first.  :P

Well, I showed off my DS at Backfire Moto tonight. I'll be out of town until May 1st, so can we wait until then to have the first Seattle-area Zero riders meetup? :)

Better weather by then hopefully. Winter is confused lately.

Got my Black and Yellow ZF11.4 this week! I am the one with the yellow helmet, and my normal commuting routes take me between Mill Creek and Redmond. I went that route today, plus for some fun on some back roads, and put the first 70 Miles on the bike so far. I did not see any other Zeros on the road, though there may be a lot of sore necks that were twisting around to see this attractive and stealthy bike. I learned to be careful of bicyclists and pedestrians -a few of which did not hear me approaching. At the risk of seeming rude, I may have to use the horn more often as a warning to bicyclists and pedestrians.

Well, count me in if there is a meet and greet in the Seattle area over coffee some time.  8)

I always get the feeling it is some how "aggressive" and plan to put some of the ordinary bicycle bell at my bike!

I do my leisurely circuit from Kirkland, east to Redmond, up 202 to Woodinville (sometimes 203 through Duvall), then west on 522 and back down Juanita to get to Kirkland again. Been looking to expand my usual loops. I call my bike Darth Zero and I've got the orange Shoei helmet (still using pretty much the same gear I wore in the testimonial on Zero's site.) :)

Work's picked up a bit and free time is rare, but this week is phenomenal weather in the Seattle area. I'm sure I can squirrel away an hour somewhere though. What area is more central to everybody?

Cheers!

I saw pictures of a KTM bike, and someone had a Triumph with the orange wheels... I'm really liking Mango more and more. But I can't quite stop playing with designs.  I've been trying to keep the cosmetic mods to parts that are "easy" to access. This new one is a little more invasive with the leather, and includes a design inspired by WWII fighter plane livery.

I hope y'all are enjoying this experiment. :)

Enjoying your designs =)

As you mentioned, the orange makes one think of the KTM's. Not necessarily a bad thing (The KTM Duke is a looker) but if everyone just takes it for 'another KTM' would be a shame.
