I know it's buried in another thread, but I though it deserved it's own....

Thanks I didn't saw the Facebook side before, only had a look to his homepage.
This link shows a lot of happy customers :) and it seems to become soon much more!

I sure wish I lived closer to Hollywood Electrics. A lot more EV stuff is happening there than at the multi-brand Zero dealers around here.

I used to complain about the heavy traffic drive to H.E. - then I started realizing how lucky I was to just be within driving distance at all to this dealer.

Just picked up my 2013 DS 11.4 last night! Loaded it up in the truck and it snowed the whole drive home, it was so cold that by the time I got the bike in my drive way to roll it into my shed it would not run because of the too cold safety switch. Can't wait for the weather to turn so I can ride! Weather man is showing spring weather in the next 7 days. I have tried the app for my phone but have not seen anything but 000 in most of the fields, I think because I have not ridin the bike to record any info. Hope to get a cold ride in tonight. My dealer mentioned I needed to only ride to 1/2 charge for the first 30 charge cycles, reading through the zero manual I could not find any thing but "no break in is needed". Has anyone else heard about being carfeful for the first 30 charges? I want to treat the battery the best I can. Any advise would be great. Thanks,

If you start from a warmer-than-ambient garage (> 20F) then the bike should operate just fine. Normal riding should keep the batteries well above ambient .. at least down to 0-10F. Just be careful if you're out riding and you stop to park.. sub 20F temperatures could cause you to be hunting for a tow.

good question about break-in. we on the older "brushed motors" learned that we ride such a fun bike easy till the brushes grind themselves in. Now that new motor - no brushes. Battery - guess don't run it to "zero" to aggressively as a start and plug it in always. Just like ur iphone.

Picked up my 2013 FX today from Harlan. From just a little pavement riding I can say I love this bike! Can hardly wait to get it into the desert sand and rock.
It feels like I'm riding a mountain bike instead of a 275lb motorcycle. A mountain bike with rocket propulsion! :o Oh, yeah, that was in ECO mode.
