Just ordered this to put motorcycle in small enough to keep the heat in easily but just big enough to fit the bike. Then small heater that will keep temp just above 32. Guess we will see how it works.

Just incase anyone is interested works great and with that and two plug in 60 watt battery heaters works perfect

It has been unusually cold here in the San Joaquin Valley (California). Several times recently I rode to work when the thermometer was reading a few degrees below freezing (a few degrees above freezing in the garage).

Curious, though:

The power pack should not be used outside of the range of  -7°C - 71°C (20°F - 160°F); the Battery Management System (BMS) will turn off the motor controller outside of this range.

I would interpret the owner's manual as saying the bike won't operate outside those temps, but it doesn't say that it won't charge.  The BMS stopping the motor controller would keep the bike from running, but it wouldn't stop the bike from charging - would it?

My 2012 BMS Settings are:

...
  minchg          Low Chg Voltage Cutoff               2500 mV
  mintempdis      Minimum Discharge Temp                -30 C
  maxtempdis      Maximum Discharge Temp                 60 C
  mintempchg      Minimum Charge Temp                     0 C
  maxtempchg      Maximum Charge Temp                    50 C
  maxtempic       Maximum Pack Interconnect Temp         60 C
  baltol          Balance Toler Charging                  3 mV
  ...

It should run to -30°C(-22°F) and let you charge higher 0°C(32°F)
