Hello,

I prefer a scooter because it is what I know / use :-)   (brakes at hand)  but I can also adapt my self to use a motorcycle. I did not investigate the BMW C due to its price.

At MSRP  $13,990, the 10 KW ZEV LRC 10 can achieve 225 km/140 miles at 55 mph and  129 km/80 miles at 70 mph; the top speed is "only" 130 kph / 80 mph; I also like the storage space under seat (bigger than in my current already-maxi-scooter !); looking to Zero or other means to add extra storage so extra bucks ...

I got also the discount info from Zero, allowing to have the 2014  11.4 at the 8.5 price (still about $3000 more than the ZEV); I didn't look at Brammo as it was even more priced...
 
The only fear about the ZEV is the support: compared to the Zero marketing/web site/dealer network, it looks ... well ... like a "one person company" ? I can be wrong but ...


EDIT: indeed, Brammo is doing nice prices for 2014 models:

Model                   Normal Retail Price    Promo Retail Price!

2014 Empulse       $16,995.00               $11,995.00
2014 Empulse R    $18,995.00               $13,995.00

So, the Empulse is about the same price than the ZEV !!!

Indeed, strange this gearbox on an electrical vehicle !
