EV Channels Review
The reviewer was thoroughly impressed by the Zero DSR electric motorcycle, describing its acceleration as "bonkers" and "outrageous," feeling significantly faster than its 3.9-second 0-60 mph time suggests. The regenerative braking system was lauded as "fan bloodytastic" and provided excellent control, especially through tight bends. Despite initial skepticism as a traditional biker accustomed to internal combustion engines, the reviewer found the handling excellent and the ride quality superb, even on poor road surfaces. The real-world range is consistently around 100 miles, matching the manufacturer's claims and owner experiences. While the reviewer loved the performance and versatility, the steep price point of around £12,000 was a significant barrier, making it a purchase they couldn't justify for their personal usage, though they acknowledged prices may drop over time. Ultimately, the reviewer highly recommends trying the DSR for its exhilarating performance and low running costs, even if it doesn't replace the visceral experience of a petrol bike for everyone.
