I've had a 2012 Zero XU since May. Love it! Use it mostly as a commuter vehicle (9 mi back roads travel)
I have run at 60-65 for a mile or two without issue. I tend not to try to push it more, since battery range (@35-45 mph average) tends to be ~25 mile range. Not what I was expecting, but it does satisfy my commute. I wish it did have greater range, seeing how much I'm enjoying riding
The only problem I'm experiencing is, at 45-55 mph speed, the front end seems to bounce, but not steady, it bounces, then smooth, then bounces, then smooth... My first bike, so I'm not sure what the issue might be. My dealer is 65 mi away (they delivered my bike to me... If the wheel needed balance, wouldn't the bounce be constant?
Oh, and I have my phone call scheduled for 8/30...
