Pros
-Amazing acceleration and power. It pushed me backward in the seat easily and I was not even close to full throttle
-Great handling, easy to maneuver, very, very smooth, great ride
-Range 150 miles
-Battery warrantee: 5yrs, 100,000 miles
-Anticipated battery life of 300,000 miles
-No gears (could be plus or minus)
-Almost no maintenance – drive belts at 25,000 mile increments
-Nothing but a whirling noise (could be plus or minus)
Cons
-Small frame, short wheel base
-Battery charge good for only 150 miles-no long trips
-Body position was leaning forward too much putting too much weight on hands. Hands were uncomfortable after a 10-minute test ride.
-Very expensive to replace batteries if they crap out after warrantee. $8000
Conclusion: Current design is a no go for me, but if Zero were to come out with a bigger frame, longer wheel base with a more vertical body position, I would not hesitate to buy.
