Title: 2018 FX overheating?
Post by: mguw on March 19, 2018, 02:21:50 PM

Hi I recently switched my 2015 FX to a brand new 2018 FX and it is even overheating more than before.

Full throttle for about 2 miles / 3km and I get at 140°C and power reduction.

I thought the new IPN motors are heating less?

Ok agreed there is also more power

Regards
Marcel

No problem with overheating on my 2018 S, but oddly the new IPN motor seems less powerful than the one on my previous 2014 S.  ???

That shouldn't happen. Only thing I can imagine is a faulty motor, a bad thermistor or a very bad encoder calibration. The latter can be checked and done by your dealer. If the behaviour remains the same after the encoder calibration, I'd ask for Zeros customer service.
