Digital motorcycling

Many of these sensations are eliminated by the digital form of motorcycling. The Zero is simply fast, sour fast. A spin on the throttle lever is enough, nothing more. If you like this, or for whom this immediate implementation is the attraction, the Zero is a clear purchase recommendation for you.

The question of each test is to find out whether the test object is good or bad. The Zero SR/F is not only a good motorcycle, but a very good motorcycle, under the restrictions of all batterielectric vehicles (expensive, short range). The Zero is a great motorcycle overall and in the sum of its high-quality components. However, one that digitally decouples the driver with what she does best – merciless passage without end.

And I've come to realize that so far, I've assumed that my definition of driving pleasure is largely about engine power – now I know that the way this performance is created is important to me.

The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in Hamburg.
