Anyone who knows me, knows that I love my Zero Electric motorcycle and that I am ecstatic about both the performance and storage potential of the new 2014 model.
This is about far more than just a cool electric motorcycle that goes like the clappers and just happens to be virtually emissions free. This is the beginning of the integration of transport and home solar storage revolution in my humble opinion. The top end model has up to 14.5kWh of storage and provides a wonderful triple benefit for owners with solar- 1) economical transport. 2)home storage. 3) complete plug-in portability.
Unless I’m mistaken, this is looking like a game changer.
I am very excited to announce to you all that it is now official – Zero Motorcycles have signed a deal with a Distributor and the bikes will be landing in March this year!
The new Distributor is Cento Per Cento, the team credited with re-launching MV Agusta to the Australian market in 2011. For non motorcyclists, MV Agusta is akin to the Ferrari of Motorcycles, more often described as art than mechanical device and with an astounding pedigree of innovation and racing success.
One might ask, whats the fit for a high performance exotic Italian motorcycle and Zero Electric motorcycles? It’s actually pretty logical. Cento Per Cento and their network of dealers are experts at cutting end technology, building new brands and importantly in selling and supporting bikes that come at something of a premium.
We are involved so if you want to place an order, email us right away!
