| Top Speed | 98 MPH (157 KPH) They say 98 but I have only ben up to 80. Maybe I will take it up there someday. | ||||
| Acceleration | Awesome 0-60 in a little over 5 seconds. On cool days it does seem to have a little more pickup. | ||||
| Range | They say 126, but I took it in for service doing 55-70 mph to make it on time 44 miles away. I did 45 mph on the way home and made it almost home before it slowed down and finally died. I think it made it about 70 miles at highway speeds. Around town is what I do and it goes all week on a charge. Five miles to and five miles from work. | ||||

| The bike is great, I drive it every day it isn't going to rain during the trip to or from work. At the end of the week it is down to about 45% charge and I plug it back in for the next week. If I need to go in to town to pickup something and it is small, I take the Zero. | |||||
