I filed a complaint with the Wisconsin Office of the Commissioner of Insurance.  Which, if effective, is only going to influence State Farm.

So if you get a weird number - welcome to the bleeding edge - and see what can be done to have them justify that number rather than just moving on.

State Farm does start with the advertised electric horsepower... and multiplies it by 5 - their justification is because of the torque involved in generating that horsepower to get the gasoline equivalence.

I have not seen a LiveWire recognizably on the road here in Wisconsin. I did pull into a ChargePoint and the App indicated the previous vehicle was a LiveWire.

Of intrest for forum purposes would do they send you the annual report.  I had one brokerage firm that did but they sent me stuff to sign and get notarized when they went to a third party clearing agency and I balked and went elsewhere.  I just realized those packages of the annual reports are no longer showing up.  Zero, BMW and KTM are private.  Do you get on line access to stuff if you own it?  More so than interested in buying.

I'll find out if they send an annual report, in a year I guess.
Nothing indicates I have on-line access to their stockholder reports.


Tried to buy Energetica.
Not available in Schwab application. Because it is Italian Exchange, need to have "Global Account" per website.
Called Schwab 3/9/20 to add Global account and they said stock was not available, even with "Global".  But they could make the stock available after some screening process that would take several days and I would get an email when available.
Called Schwab again 3/30/20 just to keep ball rolling and they said the stock was available if I called the Global line. (not in app, not in normal support)
Called Schwab Global Line

Trades in 500 share minimum
Markup 0.32% per share
Second Commission charge 0.075%
$100 per trade (up to $13,000 trade value then 0.75%)

Share Price US Dollars (at the time) $2.06

I balked - wasn't quite ready to make that big of a trade especially with such a heavy fee structure.

Anybody is welcome to post a reference to the actual regulation on limiting the maximum speeds through custom settings.

(Many trucks have top speed regulators, one carrier I drove for limited to 57 mph. )

Back to the thread. I still want to set the MAX speed in custom settings to limit the top speed to any value.

I cannot find any regulation informing any limit. (If could set custom mode to "0" I'd take it as a theft deterrent (not prevention, just "deterrent")).

It has to be possible because the 2019 Zero tour "Discover the Ride" featured Zero motorcycles with limited top speed allowing non-licensed riders a safe experience.

New Rider Course – Ride Zero motorcycles that are governed to safe speeds on a controlled, indoor course and in an educational atmosphere.

https://motorcycleshows.com/content/discover-ride
New Rider Course in partnership with Zero Motorcycles
The New Rider Course gives non-licensed attendees the opportunity to ride a motorcycle for the first time and learn riding basics from expert instructors. The indoor demo course will host a fleet of speed-limited electric Zero Motorcycles to give participants the experience of riding a motorcycle in a safe and controlled environment. Zero Motorcycles have no transmission, feature ABS as standard equipment, and its zero emissions make an indoor experience on one of the most advanced motorcycles in the world a possibility. Instructors from Total Control Training will be on hand at each show to give instruction and guidance and gear will be provided by Cycle Gear, Shark Helmets, HJC and Shoei.


I really want to limit the top speed, to even below moped limits for novice riders to start learning.

A collection of EV's spotted on my commutes in the past month or so.

Not my posting - I am just sharing. Though I very likely had seen this bike in person.

2009 Brammo Enertia electric motorcycle

4042 miles
This is a very rare bike. Only 2 in the world were made that came with factory Saddlemen side luggage bags
This first one was for the owner of the company and this was the 2nd. No other Brammo ever came off the production line this way
Truly a collector's item
Runs and drives perfectly
Comes with charging cable
This is a full electric vehicle. No gas, no oil, no exhaust, no clutch.
Super torquey. Makes you giggle like a little kid again!
Price is firm
