    Zero seems to have the best overall package in their bike...

    A couple of year's ago; Zero and Brammo were two of the most innovative of the "Battery-Bikes".
    Then; Polaris Industries bought Brammo... "Blammo!" they were completely absorbed into Polaris, and never heard from again...

    They were bought for the technology, and the bikes were ditched in the process.

    Default Zero bikes

    The Zero bikes are great in my opinion, very reliable great power no maintenance.

    I visited the production line/RD in Scotts Valley California.

    The local police in San Jose start using them.

    Did you get to test ride any of them?
    I'm almost curious enough about them, to "take the next step..."
