Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Trailer for towing a motorcycle (Zero, 415 lbs.)
« on: June 26, 2018, 12:15:29 AM »
I have a 2018 SR and just got The Stinger Single Trailer.
https://www.stingertrailer.com/

 Can’t use it for anything else but a motorcycle, but if you’re looking for easy to load on and off that even a single person can do by themself, this is your ticket.  They’re strap down kit is really a plus and works very well with the trailers design.  The “trailer in a bag” is also one of theirs, you can see it on the website. Folds up nicely in garage as well.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Making the Tesla Wall Connector v2 work with the DigiNow Tesla to J1772 adapter

Yes I did see that you are suppose to turn the bike on before connecting the J1772. Thanks for thinking of that Burton, I didn’t see that at first. It still didn’t make a difference.

EC - seeing I already have the Zero charge tank installed from the factory, which of your solutions would work the easiest for me.  I’m not really a DIY kind of guy unless it’s very simple. I’m going to see if Tesla Tap will allow me to return their adapter.  Thanks!

 Hi everyone,

I purchased a 2018 SR with charge tank a couple weeks ago and love it. The range is just great for me going back-and-forth to work, I have a 70 mile round-trip and end up with about 20 to 28% battery left when I get home. Aggressive riding the entire way does make a big difference. That would be the 20%.

I have a Tesla wall charger at home and there’s a destination charger and my workplace. I purchased the Tesla Tap adapter to be able to use them, (have permission at work) but neither location is working for me with the adapter. I follow the instructions which says to put the adapter on the Tesla plug and wait 30 seconds for the “handshake” and then plug the J1772 plug into the bike. It seems to start to charge, I see the blinking charge light for 10 seconds or so and then the bikes blinking charge light shuts down. A fan comes on and then quits as well.  Curiously the Tesla Wall chargers light is strobing like it is charging but the bike is showing no charge going to it. Just to make sure I left the bike in that state for about an hour to see if it was actually charging when it didn’t look like it was, but it wasn’t. After an hour there was no greater charge on the bike.  I haven’t switched the right-hand DIP switch down yet in my charger at home because this adapter is supposed to bypass and take care of that. I will try that this weekend.  I just wondered if anybody had any clues or has experienced this themselves. Thanks for any help.

 Hi buki67,
I’m in the exact same boat as you, I’ve never taken a test drive or even sat on one but I am seriously looking at the EVA 107.  Also have gotten a lot of information from this forum and watching YouTube videos.
Let us know your thoughts after you get a few miles under your belt. I live in North Carolina and would be taking it to Mooresville for service.

 Hi Chris and welcome to the site. My name is Bo and although I’ve been riding for years I’m a regular newbie to the electric bike and this forum. Looking at Energica right now and liking what I see. Also live in North Carolina as does Ultrarnr. Been told that if I purchased I could get it serviced out of Mooresville. Getting close, just have to decide between the new ESSE ESSE 9 or the EVA 107. 🤔

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: Making the Tesla Wall Connector v2 work with the DigiNow Tesla to J1772 adapter
« on: January 16, 2018, 10:22:59 PM »
Ok thanks for the info. I am not nearly as savvy on electrical knowledge as some of you guys but I do have a Tesla 2nd generation wall charger in my garage. I’m thinking about purchasing a 2018 SR with the Charge Tank installed. That’s why I am interested in verifying if a Tesla to J1772 adapter will work on the new Zero Charge Tank. My Tesla wall charger is on a 100 amp circuit and internal switches set for the maximum of 80 amps to the car.  As I understand it, I can set that second dip switch to the down position and be Ok with charging the Zero at home using any Tesla to J1772 adapter. But if I were at another location that had a 2nd Gen Tesla wall charger and wanted to charge my Zero, (with permission of course), would I be able to with an adapter that is advertised to work with 2nd gen HPWC? Thanks for your help!

This thread is all about getting the DigiNow adapter to work with Tesla’s second generation EVSE correct? Because other Tesla to J1772 adapters are saying they work with Tesla’s 2nd Gen Wall Conector (destination charger).

« on: January 11, 2018, 10:49:44 PM »
Looking to jump into an electric bike this spring and at first glance I thought Zero was the ticket but because Zero hasn’t addresses some of these wish list items already I’m a little reluctant. I can see from this forum most of these wish list items have been desired for years with no change. Is my take on this correct or am I being unfair to a relatively young company? 🧐

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / Re: App won't let me update firmware
« on: December 23, 2017, 03:05:34 AM »
 Hi guys,

So am I to gather from this thread that the Zero advertisement of firmware updates via their mobile app is incorrect. I’m a perspective buyer and been monitoring this forum for about two months just to get an idea of what all is involved with owning a Zero.  It’s been a wealth of information and I do appreciate all the topics covered.  I am very close to deciding to purchase early spring, but no one is chiming in that OTA works if you do this or that which is sort of concerning for me. The nearest Zero dealer to me is 200 miles away and I would be counting on the firmware updates over the air. After all that is what Zero advertises for their 2017, 18 models, correct. 🧐
