We have a Zenn owner / dealer that is a member of the EV club here - it looks like a well made car. Only problem is that it is classed as a NEV and thus limited (legally and thru computer programming) to 25 MPH. It can probably do 35 or so (if re-programmed), but there are still legal issues in many areas. Would be nice if the Xebra had the same quality as the Zenn, but there is a big difference between Canadian Quality and Chinese -ahem- quality... China might follow the same pattern as Japan - used to be that people considered Japanese products junk. Time will tell.
