Has anyone mentioned "Fairing" yet? 

[Aikirob]

Cheaper fast charging options.
More zero service centres, preferably one in my area so I can get my bike serviced...
Better battery technology, hoping for twice the range(pipe dream).

Zero needs to build DSX and DSXR bikes

1) Bigger frame bike with more carrying capacity
2) Increased battery with higher internal voltage compatible with fast public chargers
3) Removable onboard charger
4) Proper crash bars

I'd put $20K for that, assuming it has 200mi highway range.

Fairing Fairing Fairing Fairing Fairing, etc, etc.

Please, sirs, a Fairing?

Mandatory :
- Traction control (I will not buy a SR without that...)
- Better cooling system (at least in option for SR...)

Nice to have :
- 3 customizable mode, not only the "custom". I need to customize my eco mode (not enough regen) and the sport mode (current setting is idiot ! Cannot use the "sport" mode to race...)
- More color choices
- Official support of external fast charging solution found by zero fan...
- Stronger SR, more usable in race (dual front disk, higher top speed, larger rear wheel)
- Allow at least dealer to customize the power curve
- Stealth protection ! (electronic key for example...)
- Left hand lever (to brake with motor regen)

2c charging or greater. Compatibility with available charging infrastructure.

If a zero is going to keep up once the bigger manufacturers start making electrik bikes, 2c+ is much more needed than added battery capacity.
Charging at 22 kw ac or 50 kw dc is where the infrastructure is today where i live. If you are going to make a trip of some length and not alone, you will need to be able to charge at an acceptable rate, such as 15 minutes from 20 to 80%.

As long as the infrastructure is availalable, 2c seems to be point where electric cars seem to appeal broadly where i live (simply because the product is better than the gas alternative). At 4c few questions will remain. More range will always be welcome, but around 12-15kw is mostly enough, as long as fast charging is available.

DC Fast Charging and more battery capacity are at the top of list to get me to upgrade.  Really would like to take Zero on a weekend trip without the worry of not being able to charge quickly or have the 200 mile range most ICE bikes have at highway speeds.

[grandpa]

Added theses two :
- Better cooling system
Zero SR is not really usable with current air cooling...

- Left hand lever (to brake with motor regen)
Would be so nice to have hand rear brake, using a stronger regen manageable with pressure on the right lever, not an on/off smooth brake like actually

[nigezero]

My wish list, having read all these but categorised;

Standard features (essential)

- a fourth (2nd) custom map option for app
an improved battery capacity at the same price or lower
-a more comfortable seat
- lockable and bigger "frunk"
-mini moulded side cases that can hold cables and adaptors fit between rear pegs and body
- J series adaptor
- easier access to aux charger input
-2 USB outlets and 1 12v outlet
-higher spec opposed 4 piston front calliper
- low front mudguard for DS/R
- bigger rear hugger mudguard
- trade up deal for existing owners

Options;
- left hand regen brake lever
- road fairing for efficiency and large dirt style fairing  for DSR
- bigger charger option
- cruise control
- LED light kit including spots
- chain conversion kit for all models
- super mono wheel option DS/R
- styling well fitted and good sized side cases

[jheth]

Low hanging fruit is dual front brake discs, particularly for SR/DSR models.

Just posted this to another thread (part of a rant on another subject) and realized it belongs here:

I still miss the PC800s auto cancelling signals. (Logic system using speed, distance, time and steering angle.) Shouldn't a bike like Zero get tech goodies like this?

Better battery technology, hoping for twice the range(pipe dream).

Electric Terry basically did that with aerodynamics.  The aerodynamics were a dream, so a group of zero owners have been discussing a middle ground.

[Killroy]

For Zero to be a profitable company by selling ~over 6000 bikes and reinvest the earnings to answer the dreams in this thread.

[Hansi]

I predict if they add a fast charging option they will be able to sell all the bikes they can produce.

[ESokoloff]

The 3 greatest features my 16 DSR is lacking are ....
(1) Traction Control
(2) Traction Control
(3) Traction Control

Did I mention Traction Control?
