By the way,
I actually appreciated all your input regarding my parking brake question.
I got enough info out of this and will explore my options when one becomes available.
Thank you for the participation and lively discussion.
Let's all shake hands now and keep this forum "not nasty" as so many other forums are drowning in this style.
I think we of all riders should all get along without too much egos flairing up.
It doesn't matter who is wrong or right, this here is to share and learn from each other and not to bash each other's heads in.
If I want that, I can turn on the news and watch politicians.

Thanks for the reply - I'm certain all new models will be outfitted with the mechanical e brake that Zero shows in the manual. It is a much needed safety item that will certainly prevent accidents and injury's. I did purchase one of the $10 Zero handle bar brakes and it works fairly well, however I would much prefer a mechanical brake as the slip on is a pain to use each time you stop.
I would also like to mention - should your bike brake away / roll and injure someone - Even though Zero would be the one at blame - the owner will charged and bare the responsibility and liability with the accident since he didn't secure the bike properly when he left it.
Keep in mind guys it takes very little forward pressure (decline) to roll a Zero off a stand - In addition, I've seen bikes roll off backwards and drag the stand on a Roll Away so use caution, a 500 lb bike hauling ass down the street is very dangerous.
While off topic, here's an article I wanted to share with Doug from the LA Times about the way Tesla or should I say; Elon's genius ways to screw American tax payers.
Enjoy - Mike
