I answered $4000 but the real figure is: the amount of money my wife would not notice missing from our bank account.

In that case you just have to label it as clothing.

That will just cover the shoes ;)

What's this awesome text from Terry saying the new DigiNow thing he saw today is awesome?! Could it be 10kW charging his Zero in a very light and tiny charger that fits perfectly under the tank or in a tail case for riders with powertanks or FXs??

Something like a Super Charger Charge Tank?

No, no, no....Brandon, you can't drop a bomb like that on a bunch of electron junkies like us and not even offer a small snort as a sample.

What is that, who's working on it, and most importantly, WHEN CAN WE BUY IT????

Has anyone looked into the emotorwerks dc charger? Looks like it could work.

Dunno but I just sent them an email. I agree with you, that looks like a very nice solution. We'll see if they respond.

That looks like Terry and his dog Charger to me.  I met them both last Sunday morning at Alice's Restaurant.  Check out the picture and video sub-forum.

Richard, he may have been testing the fast charger while you spoke with him.

Robrecht, he worked with Emotowerks to get it to this phase.

Flying back home now. Should be back to work around 11pm PST.

Thanks everyone! We have had an awesome response today. I'm looking forward to hearing about how all the riders ordering now plan to use their chargers. It would be cool to have a thread on that. Then we could all share ideas and trips. You might even meet an adventure buddy.
