I have checked into both. If you don't need more than say a 40 mile range, both the Zero and the Brammo might make a great commuter. My commute is only about a 16-18 miles round-trip, so for me one would be ideal. No pollution (at the vehicle end, anyhow) and they use only pennies worth of electricity per trip.

But the starting price is the big inhibitor. A Zero is 10,000 bucks - easily the twice of a new Ninja 250! I think it's hard to justify that 10 grand when you could go buy a Ninja or a large scooter for a lot cheaper...
