Probably not, but didn't want to leave this thread unfinished

Update... I've now heard a rumor that there's a dealership in the works.

nope not snippy, just a realist.

Try putting your hand 12" above the asphalt - usually 150 degrees F is enough to burn you.

So sorry, but I am not going to waste ten hours of my life getting a sunburn and scorching my hand by placing it 12" off the ground for ten hours straight to attempt to prove your point.  Why don't you drop by in a month and we can video your attempt to hold your hand there for ten hours

Asphalt in phoenix reaches over 170°f in the summer...heat rises....bike is parked on asphalt for 10 hours....I don't have a bike, but I presume the batteries are low down on the bike for better cg...so theyre going to be inches from a 170° surface...logic tells me that those batteries are going to get heated from both the direct sun as well as the heart rising off the asphalt....

Our asphalt gets to 170F in the summer!!!  All that heat radiates up (of course) and if a bike is parked on it while I'm in at work, wouldn't you think that the 170F cooking surface (um, er, pavement) would raise the temperature of the bike to around 160F. and doing that daily 5 days a week, 10 hours a day, would do some real damage?

I don't plan on losing any sleep over it  ;)

Just wait until you lose your warranty because you parked it in the sun, then you'll be loosing sleep :O :O

So the manual cautions against hot temps: "Do not ... leave the power pack in direct sunlight."

Well, if this is true, it puts a huge damper on people from owning one in places like the desert southwest and florida.  I live in   Phoenix and wanted to buy one as my commuter.   But if this is true, I cannot own one.  What a HUGE design flaw this is!!!

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / Zero communications?

So, how have you perceived communication from Zero Motorcycles?  Are they good about answering sales questions? How about service/repair/technical questions?

It will largely be a commuter bike.  If I should go lighter, what frames should I look for?

 Is this a good starting platform?

Are there any plans to put a dealership in Arizona?

My company has a electric car charging station, will it work on an e-motorcycle? 

I was in the market to get an electric car, then stumbled upon electric motorcycles and my heart has turned.  I really want to get an electric motorcycle.  However, I'm in Phoenix, AZ, USA and there doesn't appear to be any dealers with electric motorcycles that are freeway (75mph - max speed in Arizona) capable. 

My company recently installed an electric car charging station with one of the standard plugs used for electric cars. 

Do any electric motorcycles have a port to accept the car charging plug?
