I saw a 14.4 badge at the :01 mark so same battery.  I guess it has dual rotors hard to tell.  The cooling fins for the motor appear to be going the length of the bike and not across it so some better motor cooling.

Same battery capacity, anyhow. But better cooling for both the battery and the motor may imply a higher-current controller, so they may be pulling more torque out of the motor that way. But yeah, of course a battery capacity upgrade is always welcome, especially since they were apparently making a new frame anyhow. A wider battery could be accommodated quite easily I'd think.

Doug where do you see anything with active suspension?  I see the J Juan brake line and the red mounting point for the front fender.

[Doug S]

Just seems like extra hardware behind/around the brake caliper. I could be very wrong. I haven't even seen the newer bikes, maybe that's standard now.

[NEW2elec]

Hey again at the :01 mark at the far left it looks like those round lens for extra light on the forks.

Let me know when you find Waldo.

The thing most obvious to me was the "75-10" badge on the motor. Apparently no motor upgrades. If there are power/torque upgrades, it must just be driven by the battery and/or controller.

Is that front suspension an anti-dive? Some sort of active suspension? Looks intriguing anyhow.

What does 75-10 mean to you?  If the current SR has a 75-7 motor, isn't this an upgrade?

[NEW2elec]

Ahhh your right domingo3.
I forgot what the current motor was numbered but your right new more powerful motor.

So 75-5 was 81 ft-lbs of torque and the 75-7 116 ft=lbs of torque.  Almost 40 more ft-lbs of torque.
Could 75-10 be over 160 ft-lbs? 

[Doug S]

I made the same oopsie. (I really wish Zero had a better website! Too much salesmanship, not enough technical information. They talk about the Z-force drivetrain all over the place but I still can't find mention of the 75-7 motor on their website.)

So what do the dash numbers mean? It seems like the 75-7 puts out 70 horsepower, is that what it means? So can we assume 100 horsepower for the new motor?

I guess that's for the ABS.
Can't sell motorcycles without it in Europe.

[NEW2elec]

Yeah it's in the "specs" section.
You could be on to something there, the 75-5 was 54hp and the 75-7 was 70hp so seems likely 100hp 

[Mudface]

Then it would be a 75KW motor.
75000w : 96V =~ 780A
about 5C on the pack

Would that be within the spec of the DSR controller?

[dpmcdonald]

Not sure about the rest of you, but I sure am teaser fatigued.

[JaimeC]

Not me.  I'm having fun balancing my wildest fantasies against economic and technological realties.

The current SR motor is the 75-7R, so the /F motor must be 30% better

[NEW2elec]

With what seems to be the same battery I'd say same voltage so likely no DC fast charging.

[domingo3]

This is entertaining for me.  I know I'm not going to buy one, but I hope it's great.

What's the function of the silver u-shaped bars?  Probably something obvious, but it's got to be something more than just holding in the battery and looking pretty, right?
