I'm actually surprised I haven't written a review already. I've owned the same Zero since 2016 (2014 S) and have always had it serviced by Hollywood Electrics. Over the years they've made my bike green, added heated grips, folding mirrors, powertank and even put an 2016 SR motor and motor controller in. I've enjoyed their ability to help personalize my vehicle aesthetically and mechanically. In the process of going in and out of their shop I became good pals with Carl who is knowledgeable about electric vehicles, cars, motorcycles. He also happens to be a fantastic musician in Los Angeles. One time after I got my bike serviced he was heading the same direction as me and we rode for about 70 miles together on electric motorcycles. I also appreciate their care in regards to COVID-19 safety. I worked at a motorcycle dealership in college and it's clear to see this place is so much more than a typical motorcycle dealership. I highly recommend if you are even curious about electric motorcycles to stop in and sit down and chat with their staff. It's worth learning about and if you have a motorcycle endorsement go on a test ride just to see what it's all about. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to stop in but the bikes are really reliable so you don't need to bring them in often. Thank you Harlan, Carl, Tyler for the awesome service! -Alex read more

Hollywood Electrics - 2014 S (modified with 2016 SR motor/motor controller) 3.3 powertank. Next to newer SR/F on ride with Carl from Hollywood Electrics - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I just wanted to thank you and your staff for your excellent service. The bike is riding great now and I'm getting used to the new brakes and tires, big difference! Special thanks to Pete for all the work he put in on the bike. He worked with my schedule and clearly communicated all the information (parts, labor, price, the time needed, pickup arrangements, etc.) He's a down-to-earth guy to deal with and pays attention to detail. He also didn't try to sell me anything that wasn't needed. I'm a customer for life and grateful to have your shop nearby. I read horror stories about people in areas where access to knowledgable Zero mechanics is limited. That's not the case with Hollywood Electrics. You have the best Zero shop in the world and that reputation is well deserved. read more

Excellent place to buy your Zero! Been meaning to write a review sooner. Bought my 2021 Zero S here and everyone was very accommodating. I'm short and couldn't get both my feet down on Any of the models. They were able to lower the bike and shave down the seat for me. I also ordered drop bars. I highly recommend this dealer if you want to buy a Zero! read more

Hollywood Electrics - 2021 zero s - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

DO NOT COME HERE! Never visited a shop with such a condescending staff-they treat their customers like they are idiots. Came in looking for a bike after extensive research and all my questions were replied to with anger.. as if I was annoying him by asking if a bike was dual sport, if it was comfortable to drive in the street and how long the battery lasts. I would NOT recommend coming here. This guy is an a**hole and makes it seem as if he doesn't want any customers. Carl is unbelievably rude- I would suggest they find someone who a actually likes people to work here. I genuinely am shocked by this experience. What a jerk. read more

These guys made it easy for me to buy my zero fx... very helpful and knowledgeable!!! read more

Hollywood Electrics - Zero fx. Light and fast!!! - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

My go to shop for all my #ZeroMotorcycles needs! I showed up to their July 2016 monthly group ride (heard about from their Instagram posts) and I was able to test ride the Zero FXS (LOVE AT FIRST RIDE!) I totally had to get one for myself and join the Hollywood Electrics bike fam! Shoutout to Carl for helping me throughout the purchase process (I financed, excellent options available!) He took the time to make sure this bike would fit my riding/lifestyle needs. They even have custom goodies for all your electric moto needs (lowering kits, carbon fiber kits, custom color kits, cafe racer mods, race bikes, supercharging, etc...shoutout to the passionate owner of HE, Harlan, for making it happen!) Btw -- they let you charge while you hangout. What other motorcycle dealer gives you "free fuel?" Way to go for being the #1 electric motorcycle dealer! read more

Do you love the wind in your hair? How about that "just rolled out of a stranger's bed" helmet head look? Are you having a tawdry, green love affair with nature? And, do you love having your wrists manacled while your hair gets pulled and someone behind a French cotillion mask shouts environmentalist slogans at you? If you answered "yes" to the first three questions, Hollywood Electrics is the bike shop for you! (And if you answered yes to the FOURTH question, our next group meeting is Thursday -- bring an Italian dish and blackout curtains) Hollywood Electrics isn't the typical motorcycle shop -- no greasemonkeys or scary bikers with "Satan is My Homeboy" tattoos, motor oil stains, revving, un-muffled engines piercing your eardrums -- or dangerously cool leather rebel jackets. So, it's ALMOST perfect ;-). Obviously, every vehicle at Hollywood Electrics is environmentally friendly. Nary a reciprocating engine in sight! A large selection of cycles is available throughout the store, ranging from bicycle style beach combers to freeway-legal sport bikes capable of 60+ mph. As these vehicles are all electrically charged and battery powered, their range is limited -- the sidewalk/bike lane restricted models get around 25 miles per charge if you let the engine do all the work, or around 40 miles per charge if you let those sexy legs of yours do some of the pumping. The street-legal /dirtbike models have similar mileage performance despite their larger motors, as their engines cannot be supplemented by the rider's peddling. They make up for this, however, with their greater speed and ability to make fast cars wait impatiently behind them on single-lane roads. Prices are somewhat prohibitive, especially compared to the excellent, much more value-oriented "E-Road" electric bike shop a few miles away on SanMo Blvd, however Hollywood Electrics fills its niche nicely with a greater variety of vehicles (E-Road has only one, $700 model, albeit in many colors). Bikes at Hollywood Electrics start at around $3,000, and end at over $10,000 for the largest, high-performance street models. Some flexibility in pricing is negotiable, depending on electric engine selection (all models come with a lower powered "base" engine, with larger, more pricey engines optional). The one variety of motorcycle missing from Hollywood Electrics' repertoire is the cruiser/chopper variety, but bikes of this class likely won't be truant for long. Test-rides and financing are available, as are DMV registration services and other legal formalities -- it's like any traditional vehicle dealership, without the plaid-suited salesman trying to sweet talk you into the driver's seat of a Buick. The employees at Hollywood Electrics are friendly, knowledgeable, and very obviously believe both in their product and their company's progressive, Earth-friendly philosophy. It's quite an experience to come in! Even if you can't quite afford to drop several thousand dollars on a still-evolving, imperfect technology (what technology IS perfect, really?) right now, you can still pick up some accessories on the cheap, and dream of a greener tomorrow -- more green on Earth, and more green in your wallet. Buy a $20 Hollywood Electrics t-shirt, while you're there, and show the world (or, at least Fairfax Ave) what time it is! Be like the guys who wear tees and racing jackets from the Ferrari store -- except your fictional ride is on two wheels and from West Hollywood, not Maranello, Italy. Speaking of Italy, your dish needs to feed at least eight, and remember the safety word. ("OUCH!") read more

Extremely helpful Zero service and advice! I have a 2015 Zero SR which was having some range issues, and my local dealer (out of town) was not able to help me over the course of several months. After one phone call with Tyler just for a second opinion, plus one email with some bike logs, the very next day Tyler had me approved for a new battery with Zero under warranty replacement. My local dealer ended up performing the service, and I only ended up buying a pair of gloves from these guys, so this demonstrates that they care about their products and customers. Specifically, big props to Tyler who was extremely helpful over the phone. I was blown away by his experience level and willingness to help someone he might never end up meeting. read more

My first electric motorcycle was a 2014 Zero S and I've upgraded to a 2018 Zero SR. Hollywood Electrics is great to deal with and they are very competent. They do all the service work on my bike (which is mainly just tires and brakes). I'll never own a gas bike again. The torque is crazy and I can get up to 140 miles on my SR. I can charge it from 0% to 100% in as little as 1-1/2 hours. I highly recommend Hollywood Electrics if you are in the market for an electric motorcycle. read more

Excited to get an electric motorcycle... Just talked to Carl at Hollywood Electrics and he was such a help. I needed some advice on what to get and he did in fact help a lot. Will test ride one soon. Thanks! read more

The BEST place to go for Zero Motorcycles. They have been selling, servicing, and innovating Zero Motorcycles longer than anyone in Los Angeles County. They know everything there is to know. Everyone who works their is friendly and knowledgeable. Zero Motorcycles aren't complex, from an owner's perspective, but this place will ensure you have a good foundational understanding. Tyler diagnosed my 2018 Zero DSR in no time. He explained the simple solution and began the needed process with the manufacturer. (I may have caused the issue, because I purchased it somewhere else and listened to members in a Facebook group. I drove the motorcycle home because the problem does not effect the drivability. Purchase, service, and inquire about Zero Motorcycles here and you cannot go wrong. T read more

This 5 star review is based on their costumer service only. I spoke with a person named Carl, and although I clearly did not want to buy what he sells, electric, he spent at least 20 minutes on the phone with me explaining to me what I should be doing for my safety as a first time rider/buyer, what school I should go to, how to get my license etc... This type of service is a little hard to come by these days .Thank you Carl. read more

I would buy a Zero anywhere but here. I went in and the guy inside (I assume the owner) at first ignored me (the shop is tiny--pretty ridiculous) then acted like he was doing me a favor by telling me about the bikes. He said (paraphrasing) "if you're in the market for a Yamaha or whatever, don't bother here, they're like the Tesla of motorcycles" then said that there's a waiting list and he's going to start selling them for over MSRP, even the demo models. He said this in a way that implied pretty heavily that he didn't think I could afford them (wow, a whole $15k or so, big wup). Speaking of demos, I asked about a test ride since they're advertised prominently on the Zero website. He looked me up and down and then said I'd basically need to buy one (with a $3k deposit) before he'd let me take a demo ride. Sorry buddy, my cash is as green as anybody else's. I'll drive up to Santa Cruz and buy one before I step into this shop again. read more

I purchased my Zero S here in June 2012. After Hollywood Electrics customized the bike to my specifications, I was off and running. Harlan, Carl, Tom & company are all knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about riding. The monthly all-electric rides are always a lot of fun. Since my bike is electric there are no maintenance issues, and when I needed to replace my back tire and brakes after 3 years of riding, their work was prompt and professional. read more

Hollywood Electrics - My baby -- all matte black customized Zero S. - Motorcycle Dealers Near Me - West Hollywood, California

I purchased the E+ Elite Retro Beach Cruiser (1000 watt) last year from Hollywood Electrics as an alternative to driving my car to and from work by myself each day, and I certainly have zero regrets with this zero emission electric bicycle. I also find myself riding it on weekends all around Hollywood to get around (grocery store, Melrose, meeting friends for lunch or dinner) and every time i'm riding it, people will stop me and ask where to get it, how fast does it go, and compliment on how cool it looks. Hollywood Electrics is the only shop in town that I found to have the most knowledgable staff and the best selection of electric bicycles and motorcycles. They allow you to test ride each machine and really spend the time with you to make sure you're comfortable with the machine you purchase. Harlan really knows his products! I encourage you to stop by, check out everything they have to offer. I promise, you will be amazed at the power in all the stylish machines they sell. read more

Harlan is great. Hands down. Super chill. Love the Tuesday rides with other zero/electric owners. Over 10K on my 2014 ZERO DS. Still having a blast on it! Never looking back to petroleum based fuel again. read more

Customer service doesn't get any better than Hollywood Electrics! There isn't much maintenance on these E-machines but when there is an issue, these guys go the extra mile! From communication to service and even hooking me up with a loaner while my ride was down, they hooked it up! As far as the motorcycle, my wife was so impressed with the Zero, she got one for herself! You know what's better that a hot chick on the back of your bike? Drafting your hot wife as she rips through Mulholland Drive on her own ride! read more

I walked into Hollywood Electrics on an off-hand suggestion from my wife that I should try an electric motorcycle. I have been riding for over a decade but recently injured my hand and cannot operate a clutch. Instead of moping, we decided to walk into HE and test drive a 2015 Zero S. I rode home on the bike the next weekend.... :-) Really great guys (Thanks Harlan, Carl and Bobby). They not only helped me with my purchase and got me a great deal on their demo, but also helped me figure out how to convince my apartment to let me charge the bike. They really go above and beyond. They are assisting my wife and some of their other vertically challenged riders by working with a prominent motorcycle seat manufacturer to order low seats that will work for the Zero motorcycles. How many dealers do you know that will do that?!?! I can't think of why anyone would buy an electric motorcycle anywhere else. These guys know more about the technology than almost anyone and even helped Zero Motorcycles design some of their bikes. We'll be back soon to add another one to the collection for the wife. read more

I was looking for a replacement for my Vespa GTS and googled "electric motorcycle" because I wanted an EV. Zero motorcycle was in the top results so did some research on the bikes Zero had to offer. When I knew it checked all the boxes I was looking for, I saw that Hollywood Electrics sold them and was conveniently in my area. It was easy to make an appointment and eventually met up with Carl. He spent the time answering my questions and I walked out of the shop after putting down a deposit. I was sold on the bike fairly quickly. I did have to wait a few weeks to get my hands on the Zero S, but it was worth the wait. I went to the shop and Carl showed me the basic functions and I was off! I shouldn't be reviewing the bike so much since this is a review of the shop (but it's fantastic). I was very happy with Carl's quick responses and the service Hollywood Electrics provided. Would recommend! read more

I inquired with Zero about a possible test ride and was contacted by Hollywood Electrics. Over the phone I asked what kind of test ride I would be taking, asking if it it would be restricted and/or a follow along ride. I was told it would be a 15-20 minutes free ride so I decided it would be worth the hour and half ride down to try it out. I arrived on my own bike ('07 CBR 1000 RR) and was not immediately greeted so began to wander the shop. I over heard someone returning from a test ride and being told "You've still got plenty of charge left go take it out for more" After filling out a few short forms it's my turn to ride. I'm given instructions on where to go which is less than 5 minutes and barley a city block whilst in traffic. Expecting to hear the same thing when I returned, I'm greeted with a "How was it? Can you fill out a survey?" Really!?! What a complete waste of my time. I definitely will not be purchasing a Zero bike from here... Response: Hey Harlan, didn't realize you had responded. As I stated the other potential customer did not ask for a longer ride. Upon returning they were immediately told to take the bike back out without saying a word. Almost forced to go ride more. I am very familiar with the area. My sister has lived in LA for over 10 years and I spend 10+ hours a day driving in and around the LA area. I know it well. My whole reason for asking over the phone about the test ride was to make sure taking half of my day to come down there would not be a waste, which unfortunately it was. Had I known I needed to ask a bunch of questions to get a reasonable test ride, I would have. The reason for the lack of questions was due to the obvious lack of knowledge from your sales associates, which one apparently is also your sales manager... Not sure if you're aware the internet has much more information on the bike than your "associates" were able to provide. How you can be the top Zero dealer in the world is mind boggling but that saves me from having an even worse experience at another Zero store. It's scary to think that is possible... Thankfully the poor experience at your store lead me to a much superior product and customer experience with Alta Motors who know how to treat a potential buyer. I encourage anyone reading this review to check them out before stepping foot in this store. https://www.altamotors.co/ read more

super knowledgable staff on electric bikes. I was curious about electric motorcycles and after a test ride here, a zero is definitely on my list of "must haves" I'll be back to buy before too long! read more

Amazing local business, very supportive of local residents, community activities and customers. They sell anything from electric bicycles to mopeds to motorcycles. Authorized zero dealer and all. Very kind owner. This is the shop to go to. read more

This place was nice and had a few really interesting options. The sales staff was quite busy but took their time to answer my questions. They're priced a bit high but you pay for convenience and the unique electric bikes. Overall a pleasant shop that doesn't just try to pressure a sale. read more

Fantastic customer service. I'll start by stating that I live in San Jose and was looking for help trouble-shooting my electric motorcycle. These guys talked me on the phone for nearly 10 minutes and helped me to locate the problem my bike was having (a melted wire). To help someone a couple of hundred miles away is amazing. If I lived closer I would definitely bring my bike here. read more

After special ordering a 2016 Zero DS from an east coast dealer, I finally got it delivered in Hawaii and promptly put 186 miles on it the first week of delivery. When the charger crapped out and needed a warranty replacement, I was tired of messing with the seemingly-incompetent original dealer and turned to HE after seeing their name all over the Electric Motorcycle Forum. WOW did I miss out on a gem of an establishment whose employees live, talk, and breath electric motorcycles! I have long believed in electric transportation alternatives and started researching Zero MCs almost two years ago. Only by truly immersing yourself in the lifestyle can you become a well-respected expert and start understanding how to creatively improve customer service for a hand-built product is only at its 10-year infancy of existence. To read other reviews here on Yelp help me to realize that I am in good hands once this initial glitch of a faulty charger gets resolved. Maybe one day I will have the opportunity to visit Carl and Harlan in person when I get back to the left coast! Keep up the good work--all of us fellow riders not turning the wrenches appreciate the effort. read more

Spoke to these two about the Zero Electric Motorcycle, took it for a test ride and spent some time going over the bike with a friend of mine. Maria is absolutely fantastic, I'd been meaning to get down here for a test ride, she patiently kept me to my promise even when I got busy for a couple months. Absolutely great experience and fun motorcycles. This is the future of motorcycles and I look forward to buying one! read more

We picked up a 2014 Zero S last year and this thing is ridiculously fun. Super responsive customer service. The staff know us on a first-name basis, and know what they're talking about. They have a dedicated following and hold regular group rides. Adjustments, tweaks, and any maintenance work I stopped by for was done quickly, and they were always accommodating to our schedule. Highly recommended! read more

Love this establishment. Maria is so knowledgeable and patiently answers all questions. No high pressure sales tactics here. No need. The Zeros sell themselves. Harlan, the owner is low key but delivers great customer service. Ended up with a new Zero SR. Highly recommend this place to anyone interested in electrics. Have been riding my bike for a month now. Maria called to check up on my experience and to see if I had any questions. Like I said--great customer service, I absolutely love this bike. Have begun to experiment with the custom mode to fit my riding style. Offers great flexibility in performance and feel. Cannot wait to strap on my helmet everyday and hit the road. Join the revolution! read more

I was riding up Fairfax this morning and saw a handsome little moto-streetbike parked on the curb. There was a sign saying FREE TEST RIDE. I kept going for a block then figured what the hell, I need a cheap thrill... I busted a U-turn and went back to check it out. Turns out it was a snap, I already had my gear on. Talked to Harlan, signed a waiver and two minutes later was cruising west hollywood on that same bike, a Zero electric (XU model, I think). I had never been on an electric motorcycle before. It's different. The bike, good-looking and 250-sized, has no clutch and very little engine noise. You pull the throttle, it makes a faint turbine whine and off you go. Low end torque is not great but when you keep the throttle on it just keeps going. Feels like power sailing. It's a trip to be accelerating down an open road and just hear the wind around your helmet. One thing I noticed soon was how much I use engine braking in my daily riding. This bike will cruise until you hit the brakes, which feels odd, but apparently the new Zero S (streetfighter looking and more powerful) has generative engine braking, better range and torque. If I had one I'd love engine braking, also adjustable "turbine noise" would be sweet, I would crank that baby up because it sounds cool. It is a bit eerie to lanesplit in quiet. The bike was fun to ride and have for a few minutes. The quality of components seemed good. Besides the obvious fuel and maintenance savings (dry belt drive and zero maintenance motor), the novelty of running a futuristic powerplant is a kick. The silence I think trips people out, I can imagine having lots of conversations about the bike if I had one. So this review is based on a ride for selfish fun, but Harlan was very chill and welcoming, there were no sales speeches. A test ride here should be tops on fun (free) things to do in LA on a whim, especially if you ride motorcycles. Go check out the future. read more

Set up an appointment on their website. Was confirmed via phone call. Showed up and the employee didn't know anything regarding the appointment. Couldn't test out the product I set an appointment to test. Complete waste of time. read more

Googled "scooter repair." Hollywood electrics was one of the first results. Wheeled my scooter to the shop for a flat tire replacement. When I inquired about getting my tire fixed, the sales attendant (bald, 40s) rudely informed me they don't fix anything that's not electric. I tried to ask if they could possibly just special order me a tire (or get another shop recommendation), but the salesman cut me off -- then told me to find a scooter repair shop by googling it. In contrast, the guys at AppleBox scooters had much better customer service; though they also don't do tire work, they were extremely nice and recommended a place for me to get my scooter fixed. If you're looking for a place to buy an electric motorcycle, you may have to wind up shopping here. But for customer service, I'd look somewhere else. read more

Firstly, for anyone looking, Hollywood Electrics have E-Road Parts, if not in stock, they can get them just couple of days! I was SO happy to find this place, having looked everywhere for parts for my bike. Once inside, I realized they have tons of fabulous different kinds of bikes, from the electric bikes that look like bicycles, to huge electric bikes that look like racing motorbikes. The staff are way into electric bikes, so know everything you may have a questions about, as well as being very friendly, helpful and fair on prices. The store is on Fairfax, in a really central area, and the hours are FABULOUS! they are open until 7 on Saturdays - which is very rare, and they are open until 5pm on Sundays. This place literally saved me having to wait until Monday and go all the way downtown to get the part I needed, and unlike other places, the guy even offered to put the part in for me. A saving grace for people dealing with E-Road brand bike issues - as NO one seems to have the parts. They also stock 'Zero' motorcycles, that can go up to 67mph, and 50 miles on ONE charge!! Also stock Roehr, Brammo & Native motorcycles, and a ton of electric bicycles (E+, Bumblebee) Scooters (Native) and helmets. I really wish 'd found this place before I purchased my bike. The next, will def be coming from Hollywood Electrics! Cheers! read more

I bought a Zero S in 2013 and I've put about 10k miles on it. Suck on that gas stations! I had a minor issue recently (after 2 years of damn near NOTHING wrong with the bike), and the guys at the shop took care of it quickly and without drama. To me, the product is important (this is a great bike, btw), but excellent customer service is what will bring me back for my next bike! Well done y'all. Well done! read more

The bikes are beautiful and they definitely sell themselves. The attitude I got coming into the shop was terrible. Absolute arrogance on a fellow that is sincerely interested in the bikes. I'm not sure who I spoke to but the guy couldn't have been ruder. Just interested in the bikes and getting a lot of attitude for no reason. Probably find an electric bike somewhere else, I do not need the poor attitude. read more

Just called to see if they had air. My issue was that both of my tires need air. Just went to the infamous www to google bike shops around the area and then called them. Was the nicest encounter I have had in this LA experience. Looking forward to going in tomorrow and riding out on my newly aired up fixed gear!! I will definitely be programming this spot into my phone tonight. Quick and simply put, Great Job Guys, and please... Keep It Up!! read more

Test rode a Zero FXS today at Hollywood Electrics. If you are even mildly interested in the idea of owning a Zero, you must go and test ride one. I was really impressed with how accessible and useable the power and handling of this bike was. Coming from sports bikes I was actually surprised and impressed by the sheer acceleration and nimbleness of the bike. I must go back at some point and ride the SR/F. In the store, I was helped by the very knowledgeable owner Harlan, who answered all of my questions and got me in and out with ease. Great experience. read more

Super great staff and more. Harlan and team were really helpful with my purchase and excellent on the help as well when I had an issue. It doesn't get better than that. Really happy with their help. Highly recommend! read more

This shop Is the best shop I've been to. Carl is very informative and he will get you the bike for your needs and he will ask you a few questions to figure it out what bike is for you. Now I'm on zero motorcycle number 2. The first bike is the one that I wanted the second bike is the one I should of had. Harlan is a Mastermind with the motorcycles. And the guys who do the servicing are amazing and fast. And the whole team is really good at communicating with you. (Communication is important with everything thing successful). Thank you guys for taking care of me and my bikes. read more
