You need to attach the dongle in place of the removed battery if you want to ride with one battery:

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Zero SR vs. Energica EGO
« on: November 05, 2017, 05:09:15 AM »
back to the original question. Does anyone know the correct power rating for the Energica Ego?  If the Zero SR is only 28hp, how is it possible that the Energica Ego is 145hp?

I think this is caused by the different cooling systems. The Zero is passive cooled and runs into thermal limits after a few minutes, so the peak power is higher than sustained power which is measured over 30 minutes. The Energica dealer from Switzerland told me that the Ego has a liquid cooled system for motor, controller and battery and can hold its peak performance over the entire 30 minutes test cycle. But it's heavier than the Zero though.

See also: http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/main/wp29/wp29regs/2013/R085r1e.pdf
"The maximum 30 minutes power is the average of the power within the 30 minutes period."

Hello,

My rear stock IRC is now near the TWI at 11kkm. I'm considering mounting a Michelin Pilot Street Radial as others here did successfully.

However, it is unclear for me if it is safe or even legal to mix a radial tire (rear) and a diagonal tire (front).

Any thoughts?

It's not legal to mix radial and diagonal tyres, at least in Germany. But why do you want to mix? Using the IRC until worn down? Get rid of them as soon as possible and use Michelin Pilot Street, but the radial ones. They lasted longer as the diagonal ones, 12000 km the others only 7000 km. Both have more grip at cold and wet weather compared to IRC Tyres, and this is a mayor safety plus.

I've done this twice in June 2015 during long distance leg called "Königsetappe" of WAVE Trophy from Berlin to Bern, using my Zero S 2013 with 2 QuiQ chargers

I use an energy saving mains socket for PCs:
http://www.ansmann.de/en/products/chargers-power-supplies/energy-saving-mains-sockets/aes3?___store=en

It's programmable to the standby consumption of the plugged in device and switches power off after 1 minute as soon as the standby draw have been reached.
Power on is via push button.

Is your shock BDA85RC or different for that S model? Let's find out what could possibly fit and keep these models updated if we can.

Shock on my Zero S 2013 is BDA58RC, fork ALX07RC, both from Fastace.

Today I got my Zero S 2013 back from a suspension specialist. It was not at Franz Racing but at Maniacmotors http://www.maniacmotors.de/fahrwerk.php because they are next to me and offer custom made rear shocks from Wilbers. Wilbers itself offers aftermarket shocks for Zero 2014 or newer:

https://www.wilbers-shop.de/index.php?cl=alist&cnid=ce486575cff2b6ffcc426f00ff9e98cb&fnc=showList&manufacturer=amu5e4136ae98d5a8327b54d6aadf5d7&year=2014&catname=ce486575cff2b6ffcc426f00ff9e98cb

But for my MY 2013 they were not able to get any suitable rear shock as the space on the 2013 swingarm is so limited. A rebuild was also not possible as they did not get spare parts for rear shock from fastace. Same for the fork they were not able to get any spare parts. Fastace itself did not reply, and the dimensions of spare parts differ from any other fork they have seen before so they were not able to rebuild fork also.

After two months sitting at their shop I have still a worn fork and rear shock. I told that to my Zero dealer and he will ask Zero if there exist new replacement fork and shocks for 2013 at least. If not it would be a end of life for my Zero 2013 far too soon.

My rear shock is hosed on my 2013 S.  I brought it to a shop, they said it would need to get shipped out somewhere (manufacturer) for a rebuild because they don't do nitrogen shocks.

They had also said I might look around at the shocks from 250cc/300cc motorcycles and see if any fit.

How do I figure out what else will fit mine?  It doesn't look like zero has an aftermarket shock for the S.

I also ride a Zero S 2013 with 45.000 km up to now. Rear shock and forks went bad. So i took my Zero to a suspension specialist nearby in Nueremberg, they are a dealer of Wilbers Suspension and will try to install a Wilbers Shock at my Zero.

For the MJ 2014 there already exists an aftermarket offer. https://www.wilbers-shop.de/en/Motorcycle/Zero-Motorcycles/Zero-S-Z1-M5/Shock-absorber-Type-640-Road.html?manufacturer=amu5e4136ae98d5a8327b54d6aadf5d7&year=2014&catname=ce486575cff2b6ffcc426f00ff9e98cb&lang=1
I will report and post photos as soon I got my Zero back.

The 2013 cells had a potting material that was found over time could react with the pouch cell itself, and this was fixed in 2014.
Where did you get this information? Is there any link or official information existing?

We will try to rebuild the FastAce shock and forks if Franz Racing can do it.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Hot Power Cord
« on: August 27, 2016, 01:46:39 AM »
I use a 16 AWG Cord for my Zero S 2013 here in Germany at a standard 230 Volts outlet. Cable and plugs keep quite cool running at only 6 Amps. I always ensure to plug and unplug at the outlet and not at the Zero as arcs will damage the contacts over the time. If they are worn down I replace cable and outlet to ensure good contact and keep them cool. Replacing an outlet socket is easier than the socket at the Zero I think.

we can ship a 3 phase charger for you to hook up as well.
Here at my location we have a 3-phase Y system power supply with grounded neutral. It provides 230 Volts each phase against neutral/ground and 400 Volts between each phase.
Can the charger operate at that power level? As the charger seems to have no galvanic isolation will the Zero handle that voltage against ground? Are the isolations of charger and Zero sufficient? Does the charger provide PFC at 3 phase operation?

I'm in contact with a suspension specialist (Franz Racing Suspension www.franzracing.de) and he is not sure if he can get all replacement parts needed. But I'll give it a try if possible and will post results here.
