I have not posted in a while though I still visit. I read the OP review there seems to be a lack of riding experience. The issues he stated are issues that can be found on any motorcycle forum. Seats, mirrors, handlebar height there is no one size fits all. I was looking to buy a Zero a while back and put it on hold to buy another ice bike a Versys 650LT the reason being my riding style, where I live and ride.  I weighed things out and it was not Zero time yet. The Zero is still in my sights though. That being said there are many faults with the Versys that I could go on any forum and complain about seat and windshield being two of them. I think that Zero deserves credit for all they have done for the industry. And as a right winger I am all for government spending in new technology. I just like making sure the money is used appropriate manner. The new administration may prove out to be of value for Zero if some of the imports are taxed to level the playing field (and yes I am guilty of buying these imports). As a manufacturer here in New England we are already starting to see work that we lost overseas coming back.This is a big win for us little guys. Any way don't want to get off subject here, I don't care if you are advocates, crusaders, or just lovers of these bikes.
PLEASE Keep it going this is a great forum with great information .
thank you

Thanks for your input, it is much appreciated

np.

One other thought.  It might seem crazy now since almost no one even has an SC yet but eventually someone is gonna do it...TWO super chargers.  It can be done and gives you a lot more flexibility than an SC and a charge tank would.  You could have one installed in the tank area on the bike and a second in a top box.  This is really a solution for someone with a lot of money to burn or someone who has other EV's that the second SC can be used for when its not needed on the Zero (since the SC can be programmed for pack voltages other than the Zero's).

Or maybe for someone that has more than one Zero.  For example, if you had a Zero SR with an SC installed in the tank and you had an FX or FXS and using a second SC to for that....on the occasion where you really need the extra charging capability you could put the second SC in the Zero SR top box.

I don't think I will go to that extreme but then again who knows

The SR does not meet my riding or riding style at all. There are plenty of dual sport bikes that are top heavy. I would think the weight up high would hurt the SRs handling just as much as the DRs.

The power tank does however as you state add around 44 lbs. up high, I do not know what the charge tank or the supercharger weigh.
I do not believe I would want the supercharger built in anyway as I would not need it most of the time just on trips. Also if I were to get another Zero I could use it on more than one bike.

Does one need the charge tank and supercharger??
is the charge tank a waste of money if buying the supercharger??

Does plugshare have an export function to send to GPS? I really have not spent enough time in plugshare yet.

Sorry to heat that Steve glad you are alright. I will make a note of this in the future.

Ben when stopping at rv parks to charge what do they cost ? I guess what I'm asking is what does crossing the country cost to charge on your trip?

Two words Terry       Thank You !!!!!

 did a quick ride this morning  on my RX3 Conway North Conway Intervale Bartlett Bear Mountain Road the kangamangus highway back down into Conway through Albany, Eaton back to Center Conway it was about 75 miles so from this I believe I need DS or possibly DSR as looking at this ride was one of my shorter rides. And the only charging  would have been in my own town. Of course the whole time I was thinking man the FXS would be one hell of a fun ride.
