Interesting topic well covered. For me, it's about engine feedback and noise and freedom of not planning to any great extent. Really good videoe with some great roads

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

Thanks so much - totally hear you about the engine feedback etc I agree very much about planning ahead with the range - the infrastructure isn’t quite there yet so I do think you need a level of organisation and planning to avoid breaking down, especially when riding in mountain ranges etc But for city and town commuting - that’s where these bikes thrive I think 😊

Great vid again Courtney, better sound this time. As usual great composition, love the long ride sequences, good music to it. You are positive and smiling in your vid`s. You capture the essence of what the bike and what it is about in a good way. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

Ah thank you so much, I always appreciate your comments 😊🙏 glad to know the audio is better again this time too😅

"When in Scotland" should be a Tennents 🍻 Looked a bit miserable crossing the Forth 😕 At least you got to fly to wherever you're from in that weather as it wouldn't have been a pleasant journey.

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

Haha we drank tennents in the evening when we were back at the hotel! 😅👌🏼 I’d never had one before - theyre lovely! And yes last couple hours back to the airport the heavens opened and it bucketed it down so the flight home (rather than the 8 hour ride) was very welcomed 😅👌🏼

I am a big Moto Guzzi fan and if ever they bring a hybrid version i would go with it .The Zero is an odd ball bike in an odd ball world of change at the moment .I agree with you on your reply about been a petrol head at the moment you would miss that real connection same here . Bye the way your always riding when its peeing down ..Can you see Indian launching an electric scout 😂

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

Haha yes I am literally always riding in the rain in seems, it makes a special appearance for me 😂😉 That’s interesting that you’d buy a hybrid if it was Moto guzzi. Think that must have been the logic for some HD fans when they first brought out the livewire. But yes it’s a weird world we live in! I can’t see electric bikes ever taking over personally but I can see the appeal for some people and it is great fun to ride ☺️

"For the environmentally conscious, organized bikers" - i'm sure they're both thrilled!

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

Bonnie lass, Bonnie scenery! P.s That Marc travels said the zero does 0-70 in 4 secs? Thats quick.

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

It’s got 225nm of torque - this thing will beat anything off the line! 😂 And thank you so much ☺️

Taiwan have developed a 21st Century "electric scooter" system where riders change batteries at sub stations, extra storage for extra batteries for longer journeys.. 😉😉😉

No no no , Courtney a chap turned up at Brands Hatch track day with two electric bikes, ok down the straight but no good in the corners, and they noise tested them, at my age I'm to old for change, and can you imagine the Isle of man TT, and Moto Gp, world superbike without engine noise, terrible ,good video though, actually I'd like to have a go on one , but I'll stick with my little Yamaha R6 track bike and my Aprilia tuono v4 Road bike.

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

I can imagine, what bikes were they did you know? And yes electric are brilliant off the line but they could never replace petrol bikes 🙈 this is the thing - I don’t think electric ever could, should or will replace petrol bikes - they are so different!! But still, quite enjoyable to ride!

[@bbb11293]

@@CourtneyScarlettMoto I think he had 2 Energica electric bikes,he loved them, I'm going to the Isle of man in May, for the first time,still can't imagine electric motorcycle going round the TT course, And to Misano in September for Moto Gp, for the first time, went to Aprilia all stars day last year love the place, but obviously I can't speak Italian, only 20 minutes from Valentino Rossi home town, they all loved my Aprilia.

[@timbarnes2259]

Nice show but you could have offered improved details on range, charging times, etc.. Suzuki have a "hydrogen fuel cell scooter".. 🤔🤔🤔

[@onerider808]

Electric vehicles are the opposite of green

[@CourtneyScarlettMoto]

How so?
