It's counter-intuitive, but the more you're moving in 115 degree weather the worse it is. I wear a mesh jacket (which is not what you're supposed to) and it's just convective heating of your body. You are 115 degrees when done which is slightly more well done than you should be. The cooling from sweat that you get you can't even feel because it's so insignificant compared to 70 mph 115 degree air - you don't even have any sweat on you until you stop at a light. The worst is stopping at a light and realizing you're not sweating anymore since you can't tell while you're moving! (time for a GAS station break to get some water)

Well most of my distance is right in mid-day when it's about 115 degrees out. Yeah, I've had a few butt searing moments too -- I've probably had maybe 10 times now where I haven't had shade to park it at lunch and it's pretty hot, although I wear jeans every day so it's not too bad. I just got back from a 30 mile ride @ about 115 degrees and when I gave my girlfriend a hug I forgot that I was at 115 degrees too!

I can maintain 70+ for 3-4 miles too before it starts to warn me - it's after that when I can't sustain over 63ish. Mid - day at 115 degrees I've hit 90 on the freeway, so max speed isn't really affected by ambient temperature. There was one time where it was closer to 87 degrees when I had the same sustained problem of 63 mph on a 20 mile ride. Mornings are still 100+ so doesn't help there!

Hey guys, I live in Arizona and I have a the New 2012 Zero S. I just got it last Monday from Carter powersports in las vegas, they delivered to wikieup for me. I love it so far! Heat isn't really an issue since it's parked inside at work most of the day for me. But I'll let you know if I have any problems
