I can't say I've ever felt the need for a heated seat. In fact I remember on my old Ducati 748 that heat down there was a real problem. I'm amazed to find someone even makes such a thing.
I ride in 5 deg C here in UK and I miss the heat from an ICE I insert car seat heater into the SRF seat, hook up $5 PWM Ebay control job done, draws 2A max and 1A nominal.
I post some pics and links

Yes there should be an SR section, the SR, SRF, SRS are new generation and I cant seem to find to many forums. I was looking to post how I convert seat to heated which I find I need in UK with no heat from an ICE.

BTW on the configurable dash trip A resets to zero automatically if you fully charge to 100% as a result it automatically counts your full tank range
Maybe it behaves like this as I left quadrant B as "empty" and it stuck it in there anyway. Id experiment and find out but as the manual says nothing about this and i find it so usefull ill be leaving as is in case I loose the function.

Don thanks for the rough guide on distance. Your right I need to get the average W/mile figure over the next few months  I never really paid so much attention to my Tesla Model S P85  thats now done 125,000 miles, the lifetime average is 345 W/mile that gives me 234 miles range with a 10 miles "reserve" (easy numbers to remember) but I can extend that 10% with restrained driving.

I was reckoning on 90 miles range on the SRF but as you say ride slow, I get great satisfaction out of setting out on a full "tank" and returning on near empty so start off slow and hyper mile (drafting trucks on any highway) speeding up on the return.

Yesterday was a 98 mile route and I returned with 10 miles left in the tank, good slow start and hooning on the return. I would be happy if the new SRF 15.6 matched my old DSR 14.3 range but initial impressions are the new bike is about 5% better. Going t be a good summer.

Hi after 50 years of ICE bikes and engineering in bie auto world wide testing ICE I get hooked by Zero DSR, SRF 14.3 then current bike Zero SRF 15.6. I like the optimal balance weight/power also silence of belt and responsiveness of EV power trains.
I make up my own heated seats, I miss the ICE heat on cold UK mornings but the silence of the bike means Im out as the sun rises with no one around or woken up.
Having owned both 14.3 kWh and 15.6 kWh SRFs I reckon the bigger battery gets you plus 15% range.
Ill post the component breakdown and do a build/fit sequence for the SRF.
Has anyone out there paid for the upgrade to 17kWh and any stats of what it gets you in extra % ?
