Zenn Motors ZENN Hatchback

The ZENN’s aluminum-alloy chassis has been tested under a variety or real-world settings and meets or exceeds FMVSS500 standards. Its quality, durability and customer satisfaction are fully established. The lightweight exterior ABS panels are rustproof and dent resistant for long-term durability.

With a fully enclosed three-door hatchback, it comfortably seats a driver and a passenger. The ZENN is available with convenience features such as power windows, power locks, remote keyless entry, wipers, defrost, heater, panoramic sunroof and more – yet is surprisingly affordable. And it’s 13 cubic feet or storage carries a lot of cargo.

And then there’s the comfort of worry-free operation. A ZENN eliminates the replacement and repair costs of oil changes, oil filters, exhaust system and expensive tune-ups associated with internal combustion engines in regular gas-guzzling vehicles. Brake wear is also greatly limited due to ZENN’s lower driving speed and regenerative braking feature.

Available now.

Poor suport
Boppster reviewed March 27, 2009 at 6:28 am

It is too slow at 25 MPH, I installed an after market motor and controller to go 35MPH which was much better. I have heard of several people haveing charger failures, roof cracking, doors leaking, early battery failures (discover brand),. The interface controll module is very inacurate. It tells the speed, and battery guage. It is one of the parts that has hade a high failure rate, and costs about $700 to replace. Many people put in after market battery guages, and are very happy with them.

I LOVE the car when it is working, The problem is I never know how long it will be working before it breaks again.

Overall I'm happy with it

I've been dying for an affordable electric car for a long time now, and the Zenn is the first that I can afford.  It's just perfect for me for many reasons:  I live near work and shopping, so I don't tend to drive as much as most people or as fast (don't need to go on highways too often), I also don't mind a car low on features -- it brings me back to my college years when I had a small Toyota hatchback with no features on it.  I like saving money, though I didn't actually buy it for that purpose.  For the moment, I seem to be saving money indeed, as the electricity to run it is pretty cheap, registration is a fraction of the cost for a gas car, and insurance is affordable.  Haven't needed any repairs yet but it doesn't feel like a car that's built to last even a decade.  It creaks and whines a bit while driving.  Also, I used the kit to let it go 35 mph or more, and found that to be essential to truly enjoying my Zenn.

The new "Car czar," Edward Montgomery will undoubtedly be a fan, as he is set to take an oversight role of the automotive industry since they got so much of our money.  The Scoot Coupe is a three wheeled vehicle that gets almost 80 mpg, and goes up to 55 mph.  You won't need credit repair if you get one either – it retails for under $7,000.  It's manufactured by Panther Motors in Florida, but it doesn't register as a car.  It registers as a motorcycle, and it's perfect for moderate distance transport.  If most of your driving takes place in town, then a Scoot Coupe is right up your alley.  It's set to revolutionize the scooter industry, and it might have a legitimate shot.  It might be worth a no fax cash advance to order a Scoot Coupe.
