The under 100 mile club!
« on: May 14, 2017, 07:26:30 AM »

Never gone a 100 miles in a day.
I've never ridden my Zero outside home state of Wisconsin.
I've never been below 17% SOC

Still Lovin' It 20,000 miles later

Dude, 4% SOC gives a *huge* adrenalin rush ;)

I've ridden my Zero nearly 40 miles in one day. Can I join? (In the interests of full disclosure, I have ridden ice bikes a LOT further.)

This will be me (when I finally get my bike).  Fortunately I live in a part of the country that gives me everything I need for a good ride in about 30-40 miles...

Up until recently, 90 miles was my longest day but two weeks ago I pulled into the garage with EXACTLY 100 miles.  I did "cheat," as at the end site the hosting club let me plug in to their outdoor outlet while I had lunch.  That was more of a "Security Blanket" than anything else as I'm pretty sure I would've made it home on the remaining charge (but why take the chance when you don't have to?).

I'm thinking the REAL mileage club to be proud to belong to is the total mileage club. I've got 31,000+ on and have never exceeded 100 in a day. Which means I ride my bike just about EVERY DAY. She's no weekend/holiday/vacation queen, she's my daily ride. That's how you rack up miles on a vehicle.

I've never ridden my FX more than 70 miles in a day. And I've ridden in NC, TN, VA, WV, SC, GA and KY. But I almost never ride on pavement, probably 30 miles total in a year out of almost 2000 off road miles.

Damn, I think I'm in this club. The furthest I've taken my Zero in a given day is 80 miles. It's my daily commuter and the odometer reads 29.4k as of today. I'd like to get a fast charger and do a road trip some day though.

Haha, I thought this club was going to be a challenge to see who could get the lowest mileage on a full charge.

I've seen 50 miles before ;D

Hmmm missed out again, looks like I'm in no club. My longest ride is 200km in a day with a small 1 hour charge at 100km (turn around point).
So more than 100 miles and less than 250 miles.

I rode my FXS to work today. It's only 2 miles and I arrived with 98% remaining. Whenever I did this on my previous ICE bike the engine hadn't even warmed up and I felt bad about that.

(By the way, when it isn't raining that 2 miles seems to somehow become 10-25 miles and I arrive at work with a big smile on my face.)

So for the last 10 years I can understand how it is challenging to get out of this club. But now with the plug and play Diginow supercharger and #DubJay charging, anyone can ride a zero 500 miles or more on a Saturday or Sunday if you want to. 

Depending on where you live you could ride your Zero to Vegas now and still enjoy your hookers and blackjack.  Hint: there are free chargers in all the casinos! It's like they want you to stay there as long as you want or something! I love riding my Zero to both Vegas and Reno! EV's get VIP parking and treatment when you pull in on your bike!

Can we eventually start a new club?  Those who rode between 500 and 1000 miles in a day with the superchargers on their Zero to hang out with hookers and play blackjack?  I'll bet there are a few takers I know in California who would do this just to join the club. ;) ;) ;)
