Zero FX started smoking and burst into flames last month. I have serious burns on my right thigh requiring multiple skin grafts. I been complaining for months that the batteries were getting hot when charging and that this was the same thing that happened to a former colleague in Seattle. Zero picked up the FX (some dealer or Zero employee) and refuses to return it demanding I take a $10000 settlement and sign a agreement to keep silent. I hear this has happened to others. It is not their vehicle and something is very wrong with this demand and their attempt to silence me.
