I think the Zero S has an app that can program the performance, but I'm not sure that means throttle tip-in or not; it does allow custom limiting of torque. It's top speed is just 98 MPH, its pretty light-weight at 330 pounds, and there is no transmission, which makes it a lot easier to learn to ride, so the OP could better concentrate on learning traffic.

That was my thought.

A manual transmission can be set to "comfort", "sport", and "track" modes simply by the technique and speed at which you shift it; it doesn't need "modes", modes are for manumatics that try to behave like a real 3-pedal manual transmission. If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
