Proto. Thanks for the information, I drive through there on I24 about once a month. Not explored it much because I think I24 in Nashville may be the worst planned Interstate design in the upper Midwest to Southeast (not taking into consideration the driving skills of the ones on the road :-). Have you ever been to the Twin Cities. We have an awesome, probably the best in the US, bike route system.

From what I have seen of Nashville - you are a brave man to ride "2500 miles on bicycles, pedal and ped-elec" in Nashville!!!!!

"Also, these mirrors suck. Are there aftermarket options?" If it is a vision problem, check Oobflyer's post. He added a nice looking extension.

KenMack, did you have the "some sort of plastic ring" in your frame? That may be the problem Oobflyer.

What ultrarnr said is the best way to sell them +100. I also agree with AustinSZF8.5 "Oh yeah, and it's WAY cheaper to run" . At 1st, what caught my attention about the EV car was how little it cost to drive. Then came the shocking sticker price for what you get (it was a Tesla Roadster) and sadly I moved on. Then along came the zero and the lower cost compared to EV car. Combined with my love to ride bikes I was immediately drawn back into the EV world. Then I had the privilege of talking to Benswing about Zero (he should be a salesman for zero) the attraction grew even more. I have been doing the calculations over and over and determined it cost me 23 cents a mile on my VTX for gas, a zero would "only" cost me 3 cents in electricity. I will note that this does not take into consideration the maintenance cost. I have no other conclusion than I need to get one. I was now able to justify the rather large upfront cost and ready to make the purchase. However, as in life, I came across another sticking point. I am spending 40grand a year on collage for an offspring, and this really depletes the budget at the moment as I am just living on a middle class budget. That said I only had one question left - does he really need a degree ? 
I will just have to wait and dream of the day I will be a Zero owner. Sorry for the reflecting but I am bored and since I don't have a zero and wife's gone, this is the next best option.

"Sorry for the off-topic mini-rant." No need to apologize as the M5 is an awesome vehicle. Runs and rides like a dream and is a beautiful car. As is the P85.
