This is excellent, thanks.
After going over range and charging issues, they got to (IMO) the second biggest issue with this and other Zeros: low quality suspension and brakes. From the video regarding the components: "It's really a poor bike". Alas, Zero stays with JJuan and mediocre suspension.

I've owned 5 electric motos including two zeros. I dumped zero about 4 years ago due to J Juan crap brake rotor issues and even more due to their non support for my local dealer (who subsequently dropped zero for similar reasons). I have hoped this was just zero growing pains, and the DSRX is calling me. Burn me once, . . .

How do they compare at low speeds especially near zero mph?  Is Either more top heavy or drop prone?  Seat height difference that might matter to short leg riders?

I switched from SR/F to Energica a few years ago, in part because of warping J Juan rotors and mediocre suspension on the Zero.
I'm curious if the DSR/X successfully addressed these issues.

Thanks

I've recently owned both, SS9+ for a few years (about 8k miles) and HD LW for a year plus (about 2k miles).
Comparisons:
Drivetrain: LW A+, fantastic and quiet. E: A-, drivetrain is almost as nice but has that whine. YMMV regarding that sound. The E chain also is noisier.
Handling: LW B+ super stable but not nimble. E: A once moving, but only A- overall because it's top heavy and wants to be dropped at super slow speeds
Range: compared to what? A gas moto, they both lose. Compared to each other, the LW is more efficient per kWh, but the E has bigger batteries and longer range
Build quality: A for both but HD is a bit better, especially switch gear.
Charging ease: HD: C- (DC charging is slow, AC is really slow), E: B-, DC charging is slow but better than HD, ditto AC. Also some DC charger compatiblilty issues .
Usability as a tourer or commuter: HD: D, they simply ignored luggage, and the geometry favors interstate stability, not slower speed agility.  E: C+. But the Experia looks better and may raise that grade to A.
Fun to ride: this is subjective, but both get an A+ in my book.
Dealer availability: pretty slim for both, alas.
Riding position: this also is subjective. LW riding position - leaning forward and stretched out made my shoulders hurt, but that's just me.
Styling is subjective. I like them both.
Other stuff: LW mirrors are a joke. Both interfaces could be better, e.g the E cruise control button should be something you can reach with both hands on the bars.

edit: additional thoughts:
both weigh almost exactly the same.
HD lower seat and lower center of gravity are nice for a commuter. But no grip heaters and no reverse gear.
The DC charger compatibility issues I've had with the Energica have been common, and at chargers that worked for the HD. But based on a later post may be confined to the US.

120v AC (US)
Tried to charger through a surge suppressor. Nothing
Bypassed the surge suppressor: Charging as expected.

(In case it matters, the suppressor is a Tripp Lite ultra)

Please, experts only, thanks

BTW, agree with DonTom that starting the charge station before plugging in may work when plugging in first doesn’t. I received that tip from an Electrify America helper, too.
