Bonjour à tous, je suis un futur possesseur d'une ZERO mais j'hesite vraiment.
Je souhaite pouvoir pratiquer l'enduro et le supermotard, et ducoup je ne sait pas si je doit prendre une base FXS et acheter des roues completes enduro avec disque, couronne et support etrier avant ou bien l'inverse avec une base d'une FX?
Je n'arrive pas à trouver de pièces pour la double monte, avez vous des idées?
Que pensez vous du chargeur rapide, celà ne vas pas réduire la durée de vie de la batterie?
Merci à tous!

As to the quick charger, not only will it charge you faster without any harm, but if you get the optional adapter (http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=15_5&products_id=186) and removable batteries, you can charge off-board. This could be useful racing, having one battery pack charging while using the other. My FX lives outside so when it gets very cold I bring the batteries in to charge and put them back on the bike in the morning, ready to go.

Thank you for your answer.
the quick charger is not on the bike? it is an external charger?

Quick charger is in addition to the on-board, definitely too big to mount on the bike but works great to keep the bike going in between rides.  Zero sells one on their website.

As far as the switching between SM and dirt wheels, I don't think it is something that is very easy to do because of clearance issues?  I would reach out to Hollywood Electrics and ask them.

For what it's worth, I ride my FXS on loose sand/dirt trails with the street tires fine and have fun doing it in addition to true Supermoto track days (pavement and dirt).

Hello,

We have contact zero europe, and it’s bot possible to exchange FX wheels and FXS wheels.
I will buy a FX, can you tell me which tire off road have you chosen?
how many kilometers of difference is there between 6.5 and 7.2?

I have the MT21 on my FX, the range difference between the 6,5 and 7,2 would be 10%. But the 7.2 also has more power and can handle higher temperatures for the electric motor.

Which is essential if you're really pushing it. The EM get's hot soon. And then power will be limited.

ok thanks, have you any informations about chain kit for FX.
I think it's very expensive, and lot of noise?

I have the chain kit on my FXS.  There is a little more noise but it's still nothing close to an ICE bike.  Here's a video with my bike with the chain kit and my buddy who has an FX with the belt.

I used the Michelein T63 which are agressive dual sport tires. Worked well, but for my riding, the Pirelli MT43 are my favorites
