No, they'd lose in court, which is why they have wisely replaced all of them here in the UK without question.
A good thing they did or Zero would never sell another bike to me again, nor anyone I talked to.

52 highway miles on an SR/S means there is a massive problem with your battery and you should probably go through the warranty process.

Doesn't that depend on how fast you're going? "Highway" covers a lot of ground, from 50-60mph to open expressways 80-90mph.

Zero have acknowledged the fault with pre-22 bikes 14.4 batteries. Every single one of them is a dud. Get them replaced.

The exception doesn't make the rule, but to give them a little good press here I have 58k miles on a 2020 SRS with the original battery, and the capacity is still near new. I don't notice any difference at all except as I've said elsewhere, trying to keep at a constant pace of greater than 90mph will cause it to heat and slow after about 20 minutes.

Last night I got less than 50 miles with the cruise control set to 68mph. I also have the magic charging problem which isn’t how it’s supposed to work.

Everyone expects a battery with a 100k mile / 5 year warranty to last either 100k miles or 5 years. The reality is after 30-40k miles it has to be replaced and then after another 30-40k miles it has to be replaced again and you didn’t even make it to 100k miles.

I participated in the Zero circle jerk for over a decade but enough is enough.

WHERE IS THE BATTERY THAT WE ALL PAID FOR!?

Most people don't ride their Zeros enough to go over 50k miles. That being said I do know of owners successfully over 100k miles on their original packs. There's just not a ton of data for that level of pack use because the majority of Zero owners primarily use it as a 30-40 mile commuter and it doesn't rack up the miles much that way. And yeah, what you're going through sucks and you should try the warranty process. The new P73 cells appear to be much more stable. Good luck.

Which year did they start using the P73?
