The New 2024 Zero Model S - First Impressions

[@Electric_camper]

Without charge tank it's a proper set back on charge times. Is this fully unlocked on battery capacity? I think that's something Zero should stop doing.

[@swss]

Ryan, good to see you trying out the new S. Do you go to rykas often? Would be good to meet up on the Zeros.

[@rJRyansWorkShop]

I don’t go to often just when I’m getting work done on the bike by the guys over at Magnet Moto. Always up for a meet up tho!

[@swss]

@@rJRyansWorkShop cool, sent you a pm on messenger from the UK owners forum on as means of contact. Let’s arrange to meet up in a couple of weeks

[@FlyingFun.]

Looks like the sr, whats the difference? Im fancying a sr maybe used but the reported issues with bearings going and belts snapping not to mention some battery problems is quite off putting to say the least. Whats your experience like regards reliability?

[@rJRyansWorkShop]

@@FlyingFun. so the S range are the 11Kw. (125cc) Version so they can be ridden on a CBT would you believe! The SR is the next step up in power otherwise it’s the same bike as far as I am aware. Regards the bearings and belt I think it all depends on how you ride it, I just changed my belt for around £240 after around 8600 miles. But I got the bike second hand with 7800 miles on the clock so again depends how he was riding the bike. I’ve not come across issues with the bearing myself, but I know Zero have had their first share of issues, so far my 2020 model seems ok. 👌

​@@rJRyansWorkShopthanks, full licence so no need for the CBT version but seriously even that is fast enough. I'll be keeping an eye out for a decent used one. There are a few out there and not selling by the looks of it so might put some cheeky offers in.

[@BalBob]

Amazing isn't it... Can be driven on cbt A1 !! Same look as new SR and SRS, the rear tyre 180/55 New S looks much more substantial

[@rJRyansWorkShop]

It is indeed it feels completely different to ride compared to the old 2020 models.

[@swss]

Very different feels very planted. Not sure about the top end acceleration vs the old S, the extra weight seems to come into play

[@MrEye4get]

The Zero S will cost $14,995 in the USA, a significant drop from the $20,495 SR/F and $20,995 SR/S. You can buy a 1200cc Triumph Bobber for less.

[@rJRyansWorkShop]

I’m a big fan of the model S, especially my 2020 model, brilliant for daily commuting and nipping in and out of traffic jams!

[@Electric_camper]

That bobber doesn't perform and handle like these. And you can get anything for any price. For an EV you just make a choice.

[@dacaveman4372]

​@@Electric_camperalso this will be cheaper in the long run cuz there's almost no maintenance and so little cost to run

[@RobSnowden]

The video is good but that sound track is awful.

[@rJRyansWorkShop]

Hey @RobSnowden sorry you didn't like the music was the intro music? or just the fact that it was playing in the background in places thought-out the video? always looking to improve my contact...appreciate the feedback! All the best & stay safe! Rob

[@RobSnowden]

⁠ No offence intended. The video content is great though. Just the background music I was referring to.

[@nokintendo9132]

How could you not like LoFi?
