Zero is all over the front page of rideapart.com today!!!
« on: April 17, 2018, 06:49:01 AM »

They're featured for a positive anti-theft test in the UK, Remo Klawitter's electric 24-hour distance record, and there's a story about an expected explosion in electric bike sales in the next five years.
Nice to see Zero dominate the news cycle with good vibes.

24hr record for a stock Zero distance traveled (closed course): https://rideapart.com/articles/german-rider-sets-record-distance-traveled-24-hours-electric-bike

Uh, what??? Terry did 1000 miles in well under 24 hours! Was this some sort of "sanctioned" record? Or is he claiming Terry's ride doesn't count because he used non-Zero equipment, or a modified bike?

Whatever, they need to give Mr. Iron Butt the props he deserves for what he's done for the community. This isn't new news.

Punching the numbers into Doctor Bass's range calculator seems to arrive at a very similar conclusion, and seems to suggest that the 2018 Charge Tank can peak charge at 6.5kW.
