Latest SR complaints
I could have died. For 7 months my 2014 zero sr has been waiting on zero service. I was originally told a new battery was needed.

I finally received the sr back and in heavy traffic, the...

motorcycle dropped from a full charge to 18% in only 16 miles and then completely shut off without any warning while going about 40 mph. It would not go faster then 40mph. I managed to move between 2 cars to the shoulder, but I smashed my leg on the railing in the process. Sr turned back on a few seconds later and I made it a mile to the exit before it turned off again as I was crossing the road.
I own a zero s 2018, when I often experience problems and the motorcycle does not start. Zero does not give support even though I have a 5-year warranty, no training, no information. There is no dealer in israel, I also sent them a few emails on the subject. I did not get an answer other than advertisements about the new motorcycle they're investing in. I would like your help to find a solution for my problem and dozens if not hundreds of israeli zero-type motorcycle owners.

The manufacturer refuses any warranty processing by...

the reasons that it has not been built during this period even though the same fault has occurred. Apparently there is the problem with several dc / dc controllers and the internet is full of very discusse about that. Unfortunately, I can no longer check that 2014 (from this year is the regulator) models have the same problem since the information about zero motorcycles disappeared at your hompage. I think it is definitely not the problem of the customer to pay the product errors. I have still one time the accumulator had already a capacity failure and a power drop of the engine to zero during one ride !!
