Very detailed bullet points from Clean MPG’s extended test ride of the Zero S.

 Thanks skadamo for posting this. This is the most detailed review of the Zero S I have seen yet and without a doubt the most useful. I am VERY curious about the comment of only riding the Zero S in good weather. Is this because of the obvious challenges that all motorcycles have with wet weather and slick roads or does it have to do with water and electricity not mixing very well together.

That is a good question. Would be nice to get more info on that. Maybe a CYA from the lawyers as I have seen the Zero X doing stream crossings. Of course, it was a Zero video but…

Another interesting point was it is not recommended to use the throttle to keep the bike from rolling backwards down a hill when stopped. Not a huge deal as this is rare and the rear brake works fine. Wonder if it’s any worse than expedited cluch plate wear on an ICE.
