Conclusion - what sticks
Clearly: The Zero DSR/X offers a lot of driving pleasure! It is a good bike with good components and full performance. Unfortunately, not much has changed in terms of range and charging power compared to the previous Zeros - and so the question remains, especially with an adventure bike, for whom such a machine is suitable or for what. Nevertheless, electric motorcycles already have a special appeal, even if many bikers have nothing to do with it (yet). To be able to glide silently through the area and leave every Porsche at home - and without emissions - that's something.The test bike was kindly provided by Tecius & Reimers for this test. There you will find a lot of Zeros to try out. Dare to do so, this will really put you in a good mood! And for city dwellers who need a two-wheeler especially for the way to work and perhaps have a B.196 certificate, the small Zeros are ideal! Let Joachim advise you, he knows...
