I read on the Yorkshire Reporter that Zero was coming to Squires, so we made an effort to go. I could not find any information about the show booth, I didn't expected them to have test rides. When we arrived, there were just some Zeros pulling out, silently! I spoke to them for a little bit, and decided to go back with gear after lunch.
I had a ride on a Zero. During Eco mode, the "engine breaking" was strangely strong. During Sport mode, it rolls more like a motorbike. Anyone rides or drives an electric vehicle would probably relearn their driving to accommodate the control changes. The acceleration was good, but I have been on powerful bikes for so many years, I kind of expected it. It was just weird the acceleration kept coming without having to gear shift! I found the most disconcerting was the motor noise, it was like the motor noise on a fairground ride.
