Hi Yong; I have had some additional thoughts, other than those I put on the privious message posted to the Xebra list and I thought that I would pass them...
I found another ZAP dealer this time in Florida. ZAP of Palm Beach, located at 1681 N. Military Trail in West Palm Beach This dealer was one of the first to...
The light in the middle needs to be on all the time according to the requrement for motorcycle. The other two lights are considered auxilary lights. Noel Adams...
I just checked the ZAP site and it has changed from saying "Order now for delivery in February" to "Order now for delivery in May". I had heard that the first...
Thanks Yong. I didn't know that a fully enclosed motorcycle like the Xebra needed to have the light on all the time. I guess that depends on which state you...
I found another ZAP dealership, The Green Car Co in Kirkland, WA. http://www.greencarco.com/contact.html Right now they only have Smart cars in stock. They...
Has anyone in the group actually driven one of these cars? The single front wheel design looks like it might be a bit wobbly in turns... Or on wet pavement? ...
These are three wheelers so they won't be as stable as a four wheel car. I haven't had a chance to drive the Xebra yet and have never driven a three wheeler...
I was doing some looking around and found a Dealer locator from ZAP. I think it is just the Smart dealerships since the one Xebra dealer I have been able to...
Looks like a good group so far. Thanks in advance to the moderator for keeping it clear of spam and all. I have owned both a Reliant and a Commuta-car...
Hi Bryan, The dealer in Salem, OR http://www.electricwheelsinc.com/zap.htm has a demo vehicle that he received about a week ago. I haven't had a chance to...
http://www.ccds.charlotte.nc.us/~jarrett/EV/cost.php Check with gas at $3 a gallon. That's what they are talking about here in Seattle this Summer. At 5000...
I looked at the numbers and one could quibble over them ad nauseum. I did think that the numbers for mainenance on the ICE were extremely low compared with...
You can change the figures in all the fields. I increased gas cost to $3. I decreased the MPG as my car only gets about 17 around town. I changed battery ...
I too like unusual cars and the Xebra has the added benefit of being electric. The Citi car also falls into this category and I am always amazed just how many...
... I agree the numbers are questionable, and agree that all told they probably equal out. I did a test run to work in my gas car today taking a flat way to...
... The big question here is how far do you drive your car per year? If you drive it 10,000 miles per year that would be 60,000 miles in the 6 years of...
I was just reading the requirements for an EV federal tax credit. Xebra doesn't fit. Qualifying electric vehicles purchased new are eligible for a credit of...
I have been thinking about this more and will share my numbers. Please feel free to challenge them and/or use them for your own thinking. Let's use this for...
You are absolutely correct, 3 wheelers don't qualify for the Federal Tex credit. BTW, if it did qualify the credit would only be $1000 anyway because it is...
I found another ZAP Smart dealer, Eagle Auto Mall in Riverhead, NY http://www.eagleautomall.com/en_US/ They also don't mention the Xebra but hopefully they...
Sorry I was a bit late with this. Did anyone get to see the Xebra at the New York Auto Show. Noel ... New ZAPCARS(TM) on Display April 14-23 at the New York...
MAKE magazine is sort of a new-age hacker journal with a strong do-it- yourself sensibility. It's based in a small town in the North SF Bay area, very near...
Thanks Tom this is the first independent review of the Xebra I have seen so far. I think that ZAP have been working with the manufacturer to improve quality...
... Zebra ... THanks. Really nice to get someone's feedback. THe biggest concern about this car IS that Yugo thing. Zaps record so far really isnt very good...
I understand the concern. We are deeply involved in the actual manufacturing and parts sourcing process with Xebras, unlike some other cars. As a matter of...
Great response. Thank you. At this point I am a serious Xebra customer. Still need to see one. I almost needed to go to Portland this weekend, and was ...
I was watching an episode of the British comedy series Absolutely Fabulous called Parallox last night and there was a funny scene involving a Smart Fortwo....
