I had a 2010 Mana GT. On one hand the riding experience is similar to that of the Zero. I have an SR and there is no question the SR is a lot faster than the Mana GT. The storage area on the Mana GT is what the Zero should have though. The Mana GT also had a parking brake, something the Zero could use as well.  The Mana GT was really buzzy in Sport Mode so I always kept it in Touring Mode.

I also only use the Touring Mode when I ride. I figured it would be similar to the Zero but glad to hear that they are comparable. It is also nice to know that the SR is faster than the Mana since the Mana is pretty fast, well at least I think it is.

If you need a parking brake, you can use a short Velco strap (or something similar) to hold the front brake on by wrapping it around the brake lever and the handlebar grip.  A virtually no cost and very light solution to keeping the bike from rolling on a slope.
