The machine was made available to us by Bergmann & Söhne in Neumünster. If you really want to experience something, go there and dare to take a test drive. Every test driver is guaranteed not to forget them.
Future yes - but now?
Hardly ever has a motorcycle polarized as polarised as this Zero. This applies to our test team, but also to our readers. If you don't believe it, you should delve into the comments in our test video. But it is not polarizing because it is good or bad. This can be easily clarified: the Zero is good.
Good to very good even, but this only applies to an electrically driven motorcycle. This is it, with all the advantages and the disadvantages already mentioned. And: it is our future. That is certain.
What everyone has to decide for themselves is whether they will bring the future to their home now.
The test bike was provided to us by Tecius & Reimers in Hamburg.
