App? the bike didn't come with one of those smartphone thingy's, I'm not buying one, not getting caught in that trap
So I am assuming you have got to kidding, right? You are obviously aware of technology having an electric motorcycle, but I can't imagine not owning a smart phone and having a Zero.
How do you find charge stations? Do you carry paper maps with you on the bike? And connecting to the bike to set custom settings as well as the dashboard feature to see motor, controller, battery temp, energy usage, etc. Zero's now are extremely reliable now, but what if something ever happened and you needed to look something up you remember from this forum or call someone new to ask a question?
Since my phone does the same job that about 30 separate devices did for me 15 years ago, I feel the value of a smartphone given its size is priceless, especially for someone who has an electric motorcycle.
Regardless, glad the bike is at the dealer. Curiosity has me wondering if you would elaborate on the conspiracy or trap you believe phones have.
I am going to take a wild guess, and forgive me if i'm wrong, just trying to see if I can figure this out if what you said is true as it is perplexing me that this could be possible.
1) You got an electric motorcycle because you enjoy the idea of saving money on things on an ongoing basis like gasoline, but that same logic has you not wanting to pay monthly for data and cell service because that will just go on month after month after month and possibly forever. And communicating with others holds very little value to you compared with the idea of saving money.
2) you lived close to Three Mile Island in the late 70's and had flashbacks a few years later with Cherynobyl and are extremely concerned with electro magnetic radiation holding a milliwatt transmitter right up to your ear for fear of one day getting brain cancer? Although this seems unlikely, since irrational fears about cancer are improbable if you are willing to have a 75 kilowatt device a few inches under your balls. Scratch this one.
3) You are a well trained doomsday survivalist, and in the post apocalyptical world, you know cell towers will be out of service anyway, gas stations will be empty, but you can use the solar panels on your roof to charge your Zero so you can ride down to the river to get fresh water and fish and survive like that for decades without the need for anyone else. Just you and your Zero accelerating with 106 foot pounds of torque when you see the Zombies coming. They don't stand a chance.
4) You worked closely with Eric Snowden back in the day and you know better than anyone that the government is using phones to track your every move, and secretly it listens to you all the time. You use cash for your transactions, change your routine often, ride a stealthy electric motorcycle that they can't hear coming and can let you quickly evade "them" cause they are trying to follow you. You don't have to worry about convenient store or gas station cameras ever seeing your vehicle since you never have to stop at them. You charge only at home under a camouflage cover the satellite images can't see. You have night vision goggles and have the bike wired to cut all lights.
Right before getting home you ride a half mile at least up the river in a 5 foot section for a few reasons. It cancels the scent so the german shepards get confused, and it takes any heat out of the motor that was there so the infrared sensing flir drones can't see any heat signature. And if you were ever being chased, their gas motorcycles would inhale water and break their connecting rods on the first compression stroke, letting you get away. You know you need to stay 2 steps ahead of them at all times. And a Zero motorcycle easily helps you stay at least 3.
I really am hoping it's the last one!
Lol, Sorry flexy it's almost 1 AM and I'm tired but can't sleep for some reason so my brain is trying to entertain itself to get tired. Hope you don't mind me having a little fun with this. I am genuinely curious to your response. Although I still think there's a chance you're pulling our chain, but I just can't imagine what the motivation would be to do that, although I'm trying to think outside the box but am drawing a blank so far.
Anyway, aside from not having a phone if that's true, I'm glad you got your bike to the dealer and they are getting it fixed so you can be back on the road. Good luck!
