Hi all
Suddenly my XU `13 Starr blinking warning lamp (some flashes per second) while riding or cord plugged in. iPhone app shows no errors, but it cannot understand how much of current is going and where - to the battery or from it - values of current and power are continuously changing from negative to positive even while standing still. And the worst thing is than it does not charge from ac cord - contactor clicks, green lamp on controller (?) turns on but battery level does not grow even after whole day being plugged.
Any ideas?

The actual parts that Zero use such as the Size 6 Sevcon controller  and 75-7R motor are used at their max power already i think. the Sevcon are rated up to 116V and 660A and they are used at those settings already.

So therre is no real locked mode in the Zero because the controller push max power already. you wold need to replace the actual controlelr for a Size 8 to get more current to the motor  and improove acceleration.

Have you ever checked Zero app for mobile phone? If you try, you ll never tell such stupid things anymore.
Bike pushes power step by step - more speed - more power, it does not give all what he has from beginning. It is very safe, but I want more and I m sad of it ((((

Dumbest post yet.  So many levels of wrong.  Bahaha!

Wanna see how full power right from the start looks like?

Check this (power is same to FX, Farasis battery):

! No longer available

I think speed is limited by software in Sevcon. In my Zero XU 2013 there is and option screen where I can set up main gear ratio for Sevcon to uderstand correcty the speed. I think same feature shall be in all Zero bikes. So if you cheat there you can see what is real max speed of your bike (by GPS of course).
