Hi,
my 2013 DS is "compressed" after a riding accident (a car suddenly turning to his left home garage while I was overtaking, she said "I didn't hear you coming" !).
I almost lost my little right finger due to the compression of the brake lever on the car but now after 2 months I'm fine.
My DS will be repair the inssurance say. The fork and frame need to be change but not the battery. Could I go to a stronger 2014 frame and fork with the same wheels, dashboard, light, etc ???
Have a safe one

Glad to hear you weren't seriously injured.
Dumb drivers are supposed to use their eyes when driving.
Left turn moto accidents are way to common.
I would not advise retrofitting 2013 components into a 2014 frame.
Where are you located?
If it were me I would ask (insist) the insurance company total the bike. In fact, I am surprised they have not done so already.
Then contact your dealer and see if they can work with Zero to offer you a reduced price on a 2014 DS.
I believe there are a few still available.

Hi,
I'm living in France and futhermore in a part of France where there is no more Zero dealer (Lyon). The old Zero dealer is dealing with a Paris one to get all the part to repair the motorcycle. It will cost a little less than 6000€ (=6000$) whereas the 2013 DS has still a 9000$ value. That's why the insurance wants to repair it. I told them I don't want it anymore !
