They did jack squat with Brammo, hopefully Zero fares better.

Their plans were all wrong when they tried to fund Brammo, tho.

This is the other way around, Zero handing them tech and them putting it in their models.  Zero didn't lose its engineers in a series of mergers, and it's not moving its factory, and it's not giving up its product line.

Electric snowmobiles with Zero powertrain would be a good fit considering the fact that cooling of components on mountains would be a non-issue. Only need would be a battery heater to keep the pack warm enough (like what the Empulse TT had).

This is not a 2013+ Zero Motorcycles vehicle. Moving topic.
