FYI: I finally found a suitable hosting package for my microsite.

Now it's online at the original URL and saving it as a fav resolves permanently to the right destination.

Now the real work can start.  ;D

Enjoy it. I'll do ...


VFX,


Take a look at the attached screenshot from my iPad.


And all links are 404 ing.


I'll check on my laptop soon.

This was the old page.

Beside that links to pictures, videos or external ressources are opened in a new window, because I don't like it if the followed link is opened in the same windows and the same tab and you always have to go back and forward and back and so on ......
I guess that's why some adblockers block the popups as the were used for unserious behaviours in the past.

But thanks for the info.
You're welcome.

 ;D

I think the most important thing to look for is the drive belt.
The one moving the valves in a modern car engine has very often an exact proposed life time or change cycle. Whats about the drive belt used in the different Zero models? Is there a maximum life time or milage too? Except that it has to be replaced if a current inspection or know damage requires immediate replacement, of course.

Thanks in advance

It started to getting warmer in Germany today. So I had to ride a little bit :) 
Hey, by the way, nice little micro website you are running.
I like it.

I am glad that the Germans love the concept and buy this bike.

Hey, thanks. Nice to hear that you like the site.
It's not completely done yet, of course.
And it's not professional. I just want to have my knowledge, my experiences and some nice pics and vids at a central place or storage. And domain costs at such a domain are as near as zero. So it's better than any NAS to me because "I" haven't to care about backups or hosting an own server and such things.

Have a nice week ....

Ok, that sounds quiet qood. Next month a have to go to the TÜV - an official check institution.
They'll probably tell me too what make sense to check regularly on this type of motorcycle.
But the mentioned points I'll check these days by myself.

Thanks for your reply.

It started to getting warmer in Germany today. So I had to ride a little bit :)

Today I reached a milage of 7,000 km. At that point you should make a service (regarding to the owners manual). But is this really necessary? What is to do at this service?
My dealer meant that a service is only necessary once a year or so because it's nearly maintenance free he said.

Thanks for tips.

 ;D

I just watched a video at youtube and I think the peak torque of 157 Nm of model year 2017 is really realistic. The new 775 Amp controller can easly deliver the needed current to reach that power level - for a short time. Then the temperature problem should be the reason to throttle down a bit.

I guess I'll have to clarify that at my local dealer with a test ride of the MY17.  ;D

Thanks, I'm a little bit dumb sometimes ...

That has to be the explanation.  :) :)

Why they do this? Nm should be Nm and especially Nm max should be Nm max.
And it shouldn't depend on the country you live in.  >:(

However, it seems that they change the title of the unit at the english version:
2017 it is "peak torque" and 2016 it was "max torque" and values are 157 / 144.
In the German version its the same description every year and values are 146 / 144.

A little bit confusing I think.
And acceleration values are dropped for 2017 at all  ;D

Maybe I think too much about it.

Hey friends!
Did somebody noticed that the MY 2017 is declared to have 157 Nm of torque in the US, but if you switch the language of zeromotorcycles.com to German MY 2017 seems to be as 146 Nm of torque. What may be the reason of that behaviour?
I know that MY17 has a lot of improvements like 3 mm wider belt, 115 more Amp controller (775A) and so on.

But 157 Nm are bad ass ...

 :D

Yeah - heating jackets, headup display helmets (hopefully coming soon), bending light, blind spot detection and warning systems, non ICE motorbikes -> all that's Star Trek and scifi stuff! Witches' brew too, of course.  :P

But everytime I ride the DSR I feel like Tom Cruise with his electric motorbike in "Oblivion", one of my favorite movies  ;D

and I'll go on ...

Thanks for keeping me up  ;D.

But I have to admit and to tell you that the Bosch Heat Jacket https://www.boschtools.com/ca/en/boschtools-ocs/workwear-psj120m-48636-p/
under my Bike Jacket, my new Pinlock Visor from Schuberth and the Extreme Winter Gloves from Polo made that all possible and safe!
I don't wanna hurt myself or someone else but it's tough indeed.

What's the phrase in English for "Nur die Harten kommen in den Garten" again?  8) :P

... and/or with 200 Nm of torque.  ;D

Today at the way back to home it starts to snow and although I'm not religious I thought "Ooooh Jesus Christ ...".

Can someone bring the summer please. And bring it now  8)  :D

I'm sorry DSR ... it was not deliberately.
But I gave her a washing and parked her inside and warm nearby the heating installation so she should be fine.  ;D

Congratulations to your Zero!
Have fun with the bike and keep it kalm.

Today I got a lot of experience while driving.
But the conclusion is simple: Finally the DSR saved my life for the first time.
I started to pass the two cars ahead (driving much slower than allowed) and suddenly the car next in front of me started overtaking too - simply ignoring me! Because of the torque of the DSR (I got 80% battery power left) I was able to accelerate that much faster that the overtaking car doesn't hit me! I hate it, when traffic participant just ignore their environment!
But luckly I was fast enough to "escape", but it was damn close ...

Thank you DSR - at those speed it would have been very serious to get hit by a car.

Never the less it was a great tour today.
And the forum is back again 😊

So good night from germany.

I'm just at 6.000 km and still maintenance free.
And I'm even free from looking after the tire pressure thanks to the TPMS.

It's really a dream! I love my Zero and all the people who build those bikes too.

Thank you!

It seems to be an episode from "How its made" S22E9 or S15E9 - I'm not sure.
But getting access to any US streaming service or TV offer (over the internet) isn't that easy from Germany :(

I try to get a subscribtion for original Discovery channel online (GO), but thats even more challenging if you don't have an registered adress in the US. F***

How ever ... I'll find it  8)
