If your Zero Motorcycle has a defect that is presenting issues that cannot be repaired even after a reasonable number of repair attempts have been made, then your motorcycle might be a lemon – and you might have grounds to file a lemon law claim.

The Song-Beverly Act, known as the lemon law, protects consumers who unknowingly purchased defective vehicles. Under the lemon law, affected consumers could file lemon law claims if their vehicles are defective and cannot be repaired, given that the vehicle (such as a motorcycle) is still under an active manufacturer warranty.

For motorcycles to meet the definition of a lemon, the following criteria must be met:

• The motorcycle must have a defect that affects use, value, or safety
• The motorcycle must have a defect that cannot be repaired even after a reasonable number of repair attempts have been made (the number of repairs to be considered reasonable will vary based on the type of defect present)
• The motorcycle must still be under an active manufacturer warranty

What remedies are available for my Zero Motorcycle lemon law claim? This is a very important question. Some of the remedies available for your lemon law claim could include the following:

• A replacement motorcycle (of equal or similar value) or a buyback (a refund)
• Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, including repair costs, towing costs, etc.
• Full coverage of legal costs

Consider some of the following suggestions:

• Gather records of all repairs made on your motorcycle
• Gather documents that show your manufacturer warranty
• Seek the guidance of an experienced motorcycle lemon law lawyer as soon as possible

Do I really need a lawyer? Although it is possible for affected consumers to handle lemon law claims on their own, we always recommend having appropriate legal help for these types of claims. Some lemon law claims can be complex, so legal help is essential. In some cases, the motorcycle manufacturer will try to unfairly deny claims or even make low offers. When you have a lawyer on your side, the likelihood of your claim being successful increases.
