I am curious as to why you are worrying about this.. Why not just charge it at home?

I live in a walk-up apartment with no garage and no windows near the street.   It would be easier to lug the battery into my office than into my apartment.

It locks with a key and can be removed without tools.  Suitability to bring in to charge is subjective.  I thought about it briefly, but couldn't imagine lugging the brick back and forth on a regular basis without growing irritated.  Keep in mind, you'd have to buy an external charger and cord.

Thank you for your reply.   This is what I'm afraid of.   Though, my current motorcycle requires gas every 100 miles (ducati, gas hog  ::) ), if I could get 50 miles out of the brick, bringing it inside 2x as often as I would go to get gas (a hassle in this city) doesn't seem so bad.

Do you recon a handle of some sort could be bolted / epoxied to the brick to make it easier to carry?

Unfortunately Zero doesn't have a lot of info on their website other than some coarse-grained specs, at least that I could find.

I live and work in a city and only have street parking as an option.   Any E-bike I get would have to have a portable battery.

If I may, I have some questions about the removable batt in the Zero FX/s:

  • Does it lock with a key?
  • Can it be removed without tools?
  • Is it suitable for popping out and bringing inside to work or home to charge it?

My commute is only about 10 miles round trip if I don't run any other errands, so I could probably go a few days without charging.

What I could gather on this battery is its 42lbs and is block-shaped and doesn't have a handle.   Maybe a carrying handle could be bolted on it it?   

Thanks.
