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.

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 itâ€™s any worse than expedited cluch plate wear on an ICE.
