This is fantastic Erasmo! It would be great if you could show it off to the Zero folks at HQ. I'm sure they've got enough on their plates already, but your efforts will  inspire them and create a few conversations internally.

Best of luck with the rest of your project and I look forward to more news.

I might drop by the EU HQ later this year, spoke to a few Zero representatives on a trade show and they're very interested.

Literally 99% done ;D Wednesday is the big day.

Beautiful! Is the color supposed to be red, or you have some sort of orange-is as shown in the photos?

I think it's really beautiful. Do please tell us what effect it has on range when you've had the chance to ride it. That's quite a project.

This looks great! I wish my dustbin looked even remotely as good or well-fitted as that.

Very nice work ! I would certainly have chosen the fairing option in case Zero proposed it  ::)

I expect you will enjoy it from all points of view: wind protection, noise, range,...

By the way, how did you solve the problem with the brake handle being too close to the fairing?

Looks fantastic! This is close to looking OEM.

Please share your experiences with the fairing (for example comfort, wind/noise, energy consumption, ergonomics, behaviour in different weather/street conditions etc). What was your total cost (including external work hours) for the prowjct?

If there was a way to buy a fairing like this for a reasonable price I'd be highly interested.

I agree.  A really impressive project that looks factory-designed.  If only Zero would do the same.   :)
