Hi All !

Just got fresh news to tell you about this subject !

I had EXACTLY the same problem as mentionned in the topic !
SR 2016.  8.500 Km. No PT

Updated the firmware (Rev.53) via my Dealer 2 weeks ago.

And immediatly noticed a dramatic deacrease of the range AND of the amount of KW  displayed in the app (8.5 Kwh vs 11.5 / 12 Kwh) . 

The dealer told me a discussed with Zero and they recommend to empty the batery until the bike could not move at all. (I absolutely do not like to do this...)

But I did it this W.End  ( very stressy on highspeed road to see the counter dropping to zero and no exit in the next 4 km... ) . But it was ok, and I even had to make (a lot of)  circles in the neighbourhood tu empty it at all...

After that, I charged it.

At the beginning It was written: full charge in 7h26: Not good, that's the charging time of a 9.6Kwh Pack

6 hours later it was only 40 %

At the end, it was  100% charged in 10H. And the App shows 12,5 KwH

This morning, on ECO Mode, by a rainy day ( usual in Paris for the last 2 months), the estimated range, at the arrival, was 178 km. If  I add the 10 kilometers of my trip, the total rage range is then close to 190 km.

That's mean My lovely bike is Back !! Ah ! Ah ! too happy ! :-)

Hope this could help some of you !

Hi everybody,

I am a new Zero SR2016 for 2 months now. Location: Paris, France.
Nice bike, big pleasure to drive !

I am in need of your knowlege, you, the old and experimented electric bikers ! :-)

I recently watched the number of cycle charge on the IOs App. It's written: 124.

My bike has 1200 Km (745 miles) and I am very anguish by this High Level of Cycles !!!
If the max number of the cycles of the battery is around 2500, it gives me a max of 24.000 Km (15.000 milles) before battery reaches it's 80% level...

I always take care to charge the bike after each trip. Never got back under 60%, mostly 80%.

If I calculate 20% of charge after each trip, it gives me 5 charge before "Full Charge Cycle" number is increased by 1, right ?

I do only city trip, 4 times a day. And charge twice a day (2x20%)=40%  .

So assuming I have done this for 2 months (60 days) , I should be around (60x0.4)= 24 cycles.... Is my calculation right ?

Last thing, sorry for annoying you: I have noticed the number of cycle charge increases from the start of a trip and the end of the trip: do you think the regen is the responsible ( I do a lot of regen, riding in the city).

Should I reduce the regen ?

Thanks for your lights !
