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.
I am thinking the exact same thing. I have invited both the ZENN and Zap dealers out to our Earth Day Alt Car Show.

Will be nice to have the both together to check out.
