Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / How I would tweek the Zero model

1. Provide a full-time service concierge via phone, txt, or Twitter, who gets owners back on their own bike or a loaner within 24 hours anywhere in the world.
2. Extend the wheelbase by 6" to increase passenger space.
3. Eliminate the belly charger and drop the bike frame by 1+" to lower the seat height and/or provide more padding in the buttockal area for the rider and passenger.
4. Add battery frames in front of the rider's calves to provide 24+ kWh.
5. Mount chargers above the batteries with both CCS and Tesla inputs.
6. Tank, top case, and side case storage with keyfob locking and unlocking.
7. Option for clip-ons, flat bars, standard bars, and high-rise bars.
8. Larger, color, resistive-touchscreen with simple toggling between displays and with emphasis on navigation and battery monitors.
9. 12V always-on accessory battery.
10. WiFi or 3G connectivity in addition to Bluetooth.
11. Tablet and phone app focused on bike status and location, setting charging parameters including scheduling, creating navigation routes for download to the bike. App syncs the bike clock.
12. Watertight compartments for bike electronics and user-added accessories.
13. Quick seat removal with lock.
14. Tank-area glove, glasses, & small tool storage, side cases long enough for a soft drink 12-pack, 40+ liter heavy duty top case with duplicate turn signals and brake light.
15. Aero-fairing for improved range and rider comfort in all weather at interstate speeds.
16. Mirrors mounted more inboard and with convex sections for easier lane-splitting on heavily congested city streets.
17. All LED lighting.
18. Integrated drop protection for the rider's legs and for the controls.
19. Optional centerstand.
20. Mounting points for front and back cameras and for auxiliary lighting.
21. 30" maximum width, including handlebars, mirrors, fairings, and side cases.
22. Traction control and adaptive cruise control.
23. Keyless unlock and power-up, tablet and phone app unlock and power-up.
24. Direct as well as dealer sales. Design for repair or part-swap by any competent motorcycle mechanic.
25. Spare belt and AC charging cord storage in a fairing pocket.
26. Available in every color on the resistor chart.
27. Walking-speed reverse.
28. Thumb brake or left-hand rear brake lever, or thumb brake and left-hand regen brake lever.
29. Restructure pricing so the entry level models are $1500 less. I estimate a fully optioned LT with the premium electronics and convenience package, the extended range package (which would include a 2nd front rotor), and the fast charging package would be in excess of $30K, in the upper range of an HD full dresser.
