Don't believe a word Sam Paschel says. Zero is likely still sitting on substantial 2018 inventory, close to 20% of production which was less than 2300.  The VINS tell the story.  Despite this, Zero has for years repeatedly claimed robust sales growth and predicted next years sales will be up 50% even stating double this year.  All lies.  Imagine if Ducati, Harley or GM told such tales.  Public company or not, it's fraud where it influences consumer and dealer behavior, induces you to buy and invest in the brand.  It's a crime. In the best of circumstances Zero has no ability to produce anything close to 10,000 motorcycles this year, let alone 10,000 SR/F. If Zero is around in 2020, maybe 2000 units post recall, if Lightning doesn't eat their lunch. Paschel has no business running an automotive company. No management chops. Hired because Invus did not want anyone in the job with industry experience or a moral compass. He's more interested in telling tales then building a competent vehicle. His actions are criminal, not only according to counsel for the class action.  Zero is staring down the barrel at multiple recalls from US and EU authorities that have been a long time coming.

I had a near death experience with my key switch failing.  Now I'm hearing this has happened to dozens of others and is one of several defects that the office here has raised with HQ.  Basically the key switches are falling apart.  When this happens the bike turns off, no throttle, no lights, no horn, no ABS, no nothing. It happened to me Wednesday evening just as it had gotten dark.  Had there been any snow or ice on the road, I'd be dead.

Wanting to compile a comprehensive list of the defects in Zero Motorcycles since model year 2013 with the goal of educating dealers and owners that they may be knowledgeable and try to keep themselves safe.
