Eh, wouldn't the extra weight just degrade the battery performance and maybe the ride handling? If you're considering a new bike, it's like (note these are made up, I have no idea about Zero motorcycles):

- Premium/unlocked Zero: 30k -- range 200km -- handling: excellent

- locked Zero: 25k -- range 150k -- handling: average

These are one physical bike but with two prices and characteristics, and can be judged accordingly. If your budget is 25k you price the locked Zero against other bikes in the same budget.
