Thanks, Ed. I sent you an e-mail. This is the first I've heard of the brush holder itself causing problems but I suppose if the brush got hot enough it could cause that to happen. Something I heard, but haven't verified is that there is a brushless motor replacement for the 2011 S. Anyone heard of this? A Zero salesman told me this, but I don't see how that would work. I mean the motor plus the controller would have to be replaced, right?

I would think so, yes. Maybe they're talking about the 2012 powertrain? Wonder if that would work with the lower voltage 2011 battery.

Any word on the highest continuous speed for the 2013 S? The closer that is to the 95 mph top speed, the more confidence I will have in the ability of the new motor to take the Texas heat.
