Do the DMV riding skills test on an electric motorcycle!
October 22, 2009
Imagine doing the DMV riding skills (aka the circle-and-cone) test on an electric motorcycle: No gear shifting, no clutch, a lightweight bike (only 270 lbs) and easy to steer….
Sounds too good to be true?
Not when you rent the Zero-S electric motorcycle at EDR!
Yesterday, on October 21st, Huntington Beach resident Deric Burk rented the Zero-S electric motorcycle at EDR. An hour before the DMV riding skill test he showed up at EDR to practice the ‘circle-and-cone test’ in our parking lot.
After some practice we took the Zero-S for him to the Costa Mesa DMV on 19th St, and after waiting in line for a bit Deric was up.
The DMV employee was a bit surprised when he saw the electric motorcycle at first, but since it’s freeway legal and it’s registered as a motorcycle, it was all good.
Less then 10 minutes later the DMV officer told Deric he had passed the riding skills test! When we asked Deric afterwards if the electric motorcycle made the test easier for him he told us: “This bike is so light and handles great, it steers as easy as a bicycle. It definitely made it easier to pass the DMV riding test. I’m stoked to have my M1 license now. I can ride at night and I can take my girl with me as well!”
So are you looking into getting your M1 license? Or maybe your friend, wife or neighbor? Sent them over and we’ll get them on the road!
Want to do the DMV riding skills test on a regular gas powered motorcycle?
Then rent our Honda Rebel!
