Title: This is not good news
Post by: Richard230 on August 11, 2016, 08:54:38 PM

Hopefully, the fire was not the result of any design, equipment, or assembly problem. It certainly could have been caused by a lot of other things, including poor maintenance and environmental factors.  Still it is nice to hear that most of the 2012 Zero S police bikes are still chugging along in Hong Kong under what is likely somewhat challenging conditions:

That is very strange in fact!

The 2012 BMS are very good and the EIG cells quality is awsome.. the battery design is also really nice...

I have worked and disssassembled many of these and modified too...  i can confirm my arguments.

so it was while charging... hmmm..
