Try a Google search with : fast charging zero fx
You wil quicly find this topic for instance:
https://www.electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=10603.0

Yeah, I get that. Again, I was probably looking for something that didn’t exist, thus the question. It seems clear at this point that all of the options are bulky off board chargers.

The charging topic has really been beaten to death on this forum, for all types of Zero bikes. I'm surprised your search came up empty.

What MVetter was showing you was the Delta-Q charger that is sold as a factory accessory by Zero, its clearly an offboard charger that you either travel with in some kind of carrying case or you just leave at a destination (home is often the place for this). Its also the same charger you referenced, just sold by Zero.

Thanks. I find the search function on this particular forum to be pretty useless, mostly displaying irrelevant topics. I probably gave up too quickly. Typical millennial.

I suppose the reason I haven’t seen what I’m looking for is because it doesn’t exist. I.e. a more portable, not mounted in a luggage box solution.

Appreciate your response.

What isn't clear is how/where you mount said options. i.e. on bike, in a luggage box on the back of the bike, etc. I think I've found my answers at this point.

Edit: don't have my answer? Lol. That's helpful.

Hi all,

I did a bunch of searching and came up empty, though I may have overlooked something...


perhaps

Thank you. I'm clear that this option, and other exist. What isn't clear is how/where you mount said options. i.e. on bike, in a luggage box on the back of the bike, etc. I think I've found my answers at this point.

Hi all,

Anyway, looking for the best option for rapid charging a 2019 FX 7.2. I'm looking for something I can either take with me, or leave at work so that I can get home after a roughly 40mi commute.

It seems like this may be the best option for onboard charging, since I don't have the removable battery packs. It's not clear to me how this is installed, but I suspect it's fairly self explanatory once received.

And chain conversion, right? I can't imagine a belt would last 10 minutes.

Good point. Chain conversion is on my list. I'll bump it up the list before throwing a paddle tire on.

I'm going to need some video of an FX with a paddle tire going through some deep sand.

If I do it, I'll for sure share video.

Following up on my own question, it looks like the stock rear tire is 120/80-18, and an 18" paddle tire would 110/100-18. Width obviously wouldn't be an issue, but by my calculation the tire would be roughly .5" taller. I guess as long as the bike has swing arm clearance, it wouldn't be an issue.

Did a search but haven't come up with much. Has anybody successfully run a paddle tire on a Zero FX for dune use? I recognize that the range would likely decrease, but curious by how much, and also whether a paddle tire will even fit the swing arm (depending on tire size obviously).
