Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / Re: Zero Motorcycles At COSTCO?

I find this extremely hard to believe since Costco is removing their EV chargers and not replacing them....

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / Re: can ds2010 battery be upgraded to higher capacity one?

The problem with changing the battery is the battery management system.  The BMS has to be compatible with everything else on the bike - charger, controller, dash.  I'm not saying it'll be impossible, but it'll require more work than simply swapping the battery for a different one.

Have you actually looked into changing the curve?  Is it easy to save a backup of the original settings?  Can you view the settings without changing them?

And I got a 2011, so is mine blocked then?

Also if you change the sprocket to get better acceleration you are using more power, the same as if you changed the curve.  Change the curve and you get the better acceleration and keep the top speed, plus there are no parts to buy.

Might be a good idea to look into what the chain/belt and sprockets are rated for, torque wise.

So has anyone had the balls to go and reprogram the controller?  If so I'd like to see the profiles you've made.  ;)

Pretty sure it only needs cooling if it is going to be running.  Turning it off when you're done riding should be fine cuz it'll cool down naturally.

I have the DS, but same issue.  As far as I've heard it has been dumbed down from the 2010 model because people were hurting themselves.......  When I got it I was expecting the same or more performance than last year's model, not less.   >:(
