I rode a Zero S a few years ago. It was a weird experience but one I enjoyed very much. The lack of tactile response from the bike was disturbing at first. No motor noise, no vibes. Nothing to tell you the bike is actually " running". The first stop sign I came to I stopped, and thought and thought the bike had " quit". Of course it hadn't but the lack of tactile sensations confused me at first.
The suspension was very stiff and the seat was hard. It was not comfortable to ride. It was fast, and like you said torque was instantaneous. I never had the opportunity to test side to side transitions as my test ride was in downtown Dayton, Ohio.
I could own an electric for everyday rides if the initial buy in wasn't so prohibitive but I once figured it out and I can pay for 184,000 miles of gas for my 75 mpg NC and break even on the buy in difference on a new Zero
