LAPD Redesigns 20 Bulls Sentinel eBikes For Its Unique Needs
More electric bicycles (e-bikes) are finding their way to law enforcement — to help law enforcement. Although police officers riding bicycles might not seem like the ideal pursuit approach, e-bikes are perfect for many instances when a car is just too big and motorcycles too loud.
Zero Motorcycles Orange County Grand Opening
The Zero Motorcycles dealership that is not owned by Zero, but styled by Zero, had a lovely grand opening party. The weather was perfect for a day of test rides, as it always is in Southern California. Even when it’s too hot to be out riding ICE motorcycles, Zero Motorcycles … [continued]
2018 Zero FX Review | Cheaper Batteries = Better Everything
Zero gave Robert and I a Zero FX for a month, to put it through its paces. As readers may know, I’ve been a Zero FX(S) owner since 2013, and writing about Zeros since 2009. The great thing about Zero is it has always tried to keep prices as reasonable as possible, considering how expensive batteries have been. And as batteries have gotten cheaper, Zero has passed that savings along to customers, while also improving the components and build quality.

2018 Zero FXS Review — The Ultimate Urban Assault Vehicle, Improved (#CleanTechnica Review)
As much as I loved my 2013 Zero FXS, I’m impressed with the improvements Zero has been able to make each year, culminating in the 2018 Zero FXS. As batteries have gotten cheaper and more energy dense, Zero has been able to spend more money on components like brakes and suspension. So I traded Shaq for Kobe.
Make Every Day Ride To Work Day!
Monday, June 18th, is Ride To Work Day. For some of us, this is already the case, as you may have read. As Los Angeles traffic grinds to a standstill, and the rate of car ownership increases, this old biker (moto-commuting since 1985!) is overjoyed to see an increasing number of Angelenos commuting on two wheels.
6 Months of Zero
When I picked up “my” Zero DS from the dealer, I was so happy about it that I showed it around as much as I could. I showed it to friends and family, on social media, and on motorcycle forums. So, here we are: 6 months and 6,000 kilometers further. This article is about the day-to-day life commuting on an electric motorcycle, and at the same time, it is a technical review of the bike (a 2017 Zero DS with powertank).
