The 11.5 Kw is a sizeable pack...so capacity (I do not mean std. capacity, but practical capacity) in these sizes should increase over time if battery manufacturer did his job properly...after 100-150 charging cycles you should see a higher range in your speedometer...

Same here with my ZF9 "S".

Or maybe I am just riding slower...... ;)

I definitely noticed an increase in range on my 2012 DS ZF6 after I'd done some rides, so I expect to see that on my new FX also.

Additionally, I would expect all the moving parts to loosen up and "break-in" over the 1st 1000 miles or so. Motor bearings, wheel bearings, chain/belt, etc...

My Zero DS 2011 is average of 96Wh per mile at 50% highway and 50% city driving.

(Highway is at max 108km/h)

These Wh and distance are measured by the Cycle Analyst i installed on it. The accuracy is very very impressive. I het the true Wh and Ah measurement of the battery while driving so the result are the truth.

btw, The 2011 has NO regen.. well... from now... ;)

My 11.4 DS used 102 Wh/mi on the ride I just made today. 58 mi with 3,000' gain/loss, with 1/2 hwy (65 mph) and 1/2 rural/city (30-50 mph), and came home with battery at 43%. This 100 mi capacity seems more on par with what I'd expected in these conditions, compared to 75 mi ride 2 days ago when I meekly rode home with 1 blinking bar and only 8% left. It must have been due to my brother-in-law and large, heavy nephew both riding it aggressively in windy conditions. They loved it almost as much as I do :)
