After spending the past two months with the 2022 Zero SR/F Premium, I feel like I’m starting to get to know it a bit better. Two months sounds like a long time, I know. Still, like most people, I have work to consider, so I unfortunately can’t ride all the time (boo). Also, there’s one potential drawback that I think anyone considering this bike probably needs to know about, and it’s one that unfortunately delayed my spending quality time in the saddle right away.
Here it is: The freewheeling nature of the electric motor with no clutch makes it incredibly easy for the bike to want to roll away if you’ve parked it facing forward on even a very slight downhill. Such as, for example, the gradual slope of a driveway, as you might do after rolling it out of the garage to get ready for a ride.
