Bring back the MX.

Bring back the MX.

You can still buy one

Even the mmx which is the real bike you want...





Someone said it but left bar side rear brake would make it easier on trails and um stunting around, I mean normal city riding.

Not according to both the people I spoke to Zero. After my deposit on a 2013 MX was returned due to unavailability, Jeff Jolin (W.C. regional sales manager) told me MX production had been stopped to allow more FX's to be produced.  Later on, a lady I spoke to in the Zero sales dept. (didn't catch her name) laughed when I asked about buying an MMX, and said they were for sale only to military, law enforcement, etc.

If you know some way for a regular civilian to purchase an MMX, please share.

When I purchased the '13 FX / MX Powertrain from Zero to begin converting my gas trike to electric, I also received a schematic (can't share it). I was puzzled by extra connections shown on the schematic that my Powertrain cable didn't have. Upon inquiring, I found out that the schematic was for the MMX (which also works for the MX). That explained the additional connections shown for MMX functions that are not on the MX.

1. Lower seat height
2. Cruiser styling 

I would consider upgrading to a 2016 model from my current 2014 S , if these 2 were addressed. At 5ft 6'', a lower seat is definitely something I could do with.

I find the 2014 S power and charging time adequate for my use (80 mile commute to work and back each day) , although it never hurts to get higher range and shorter charging times.

1) Aerodynamic, sport bike fairing (for 300$ factory price we could have 20+% better highway range)
2) integrated J1772 like the Brammo, not a cable hanging looking DIY in a 13~20k $ vehicle...
3) Better integration of the battery box (looks like a brick inside a curvaceous sexy machine)
4) Standard charging 3,3 kW (not for extra 2k $)
5) 2 modes of charging: std and Life extending mode (4.1V/cell instead of 4.2V)

"Terry Hershner has found that fast charging has little effect on the batteries and that keeping them at a high state of charge has a greater effect.  He has only quick charged his batteries for more than 50,000 miles and they still hold a full charge."

I would like to see a softer seat.  My butt starts to hurt after about an hour of riding.  The new seats are not nearly as bad as the pre-2013 model seats, but they still are harder than they need to be, in my opinion.  Now that the Zero is pretty well sorted technically, except for needing a real Level 2 charging option, it is time to address the little stuff.   

[dkw12002]

Are you saying you have a little butt, Richard? ("time to address the little stuff") LOL. After owning a Grom, my 13 S seat is like a feather pillow. Actually, it seems to fit me really well, not forcing me forward the way some do, but it is firm. I have an 8.5 battery too so my rides aren't as long as yours which may be a difference. It is a hard material unlike any other bike I've had. My FZ07 has a seat that acts like memory foam.

No more design improvements (except optional add-on L2 charging). Prices need to start coming down. The high purchase price stops many people (dealers and customers) from considering a purchase.
I bought an SR, and I love it. I appreciate the long term value (as do others on this forum), but most motorcycle buyers will look at the price tag and move on. Many dealerships won't carry electrics for this (and other) reason.

[Zorgalouf]

It's not just looking at the price tag. I would like a Zero, but indeed, the price slows me down, because even if on the long term it may be interesting, i am not fortunate enough to buy it in the first place. So i looking at used ones, but in France there are not a lot of them.
If i could have the extra money i will save in advance, i could buy it!

where do you live?

[Zorgalouf]

Thanks, but I check it everyday !
The 8.5 is actually reserved but if it becomes free again, i can have it for 6500€, so that is the one i am looking at for now, even if i would prefer a 11.5 because i think 8.5 is a bit limited on the range.
But if this one goes, i will have to check for 9000€ max, because i can not really afford much.

And i live in Tours, and you?

That is a very nice looking design, but every time I see an open space on a motorcycle I think that there is room for more batteries.
