sheesh! you'd think that with an $11K - $14K tag, it would have one! (no centerstand I assume?)
my wifes $8K scooter has both!

yeah...I don't see electric being a big seller here...(I'm in Wi. ,about 120 from Chicago...)
as someone stated... "said he would be interested if the electric motor could roar."

alot of that attitude around here
but the range seems right on for them!

thanks for the post!
I talked to a dealer yesterday,(Surprised he could answer very little about it...I think I had more info just reading a few posts here than he knew...)
And they sure aren't trying to push them out the door! They want MSRP for them!
I told him if I could get it on a 50 mile test ride on a single charge,I would be buying one!

Hello! My name is Rich,and thinking about a 9S ...but looks like it is just out range! After a little reading,I am wondering if a windshield will give me just enough range to get to work!
I have A 47 mile commute (one way)
After seeing Zero's website,I was very excited,then quickly shot down as I realized they lied about actual range...

it's 65mph 1/2 way to work, then 55...
So if I stay off the hwy,I could get by on 45mph...but either way,looks like it is too close
and if the battery loses it's range ability after say...50 - 100 charges...then I'm really screwed!!
I'm SICK of paying $250+ a month just to ride to work!
If the 2012 model doesn't cut it..it shouldn't be too much longer before battery tech. reaches my range!
any suggestions or thoughts?...
