Initially shocked and then interest very much piqued, at the end of our meeting, Nathan rode with me and Grumpy back to my place. It was a lovely warm dry day with very little traffic, I didn’t spare the horses on my M900Sie. I noticed that Nathan was keeping up very well on the Volt-cycle and it wasn’t long before he just whistled past on a fast burst of dual carriageway at a heady speed. I laughed inside my helmet! I’m well impressed.
Chatting at home while the bike gently charged. It turns out that Nathan works for the UK main importer of the Californian Zero, at The Electric Motor Company or Old Empire Motorcycles in Redgrave Suffolk.

Fast forward, as the advertising says, to the day of my test ride.
