Simultaneously the highest and lowest res images I've ever seen. Truly an enigma.

Holy cow day 2! Brian serious congratulations what a strong performance. Keep it up!
edit- there were youtube comments whining about how having an electric motorcycle against the gas is unfair. MotoAmerica deleted the comments but imagine being such a fragile person

why would you use measured data like a sane person when you can ask AI

On Thursday I plan to visit a friend who has been extremely helpful attempting to diagnose this with me and we're going to attempt to remove the chargers from the housing, clean off the old thermal grease from the contact points where they meet the cooling fins, and apply a new layer of thermal grease. We're theorizing potentially that the now 8-year-old initial layer of thermal grease may have been improperly applied or has dried/separated. If that doesn't work then the next (last?) idea is putting in more powerful fans as they're just Delta server fans in the first place.

From personal experience I measured the units I used to build. Without active cooling they would reach thermal limits and start throttling output in ~30 minutes. Zero's units don't appear to be that smart and just shut off if they reach thermal limits. Which is a damn shame and poor design. And yes, they get HOT. Well over 150F.

The fan direction thing turned out to be a bust aka no change. There are really only 2 other things I can think of, diagnostically. The first is to clean and reapply the thermal grease that is between the hot sides of the chargers and the heat sinks and ensure solid contact. The second, if that fails, is to replace the fans with higher power versions that are the same form factor.

« on: April 07, 2026, 09:24:09 AM »That failed and failed and fried people's bikes and we had to file bankruptcy but gave away all the equipment so the people we owed money to couldn't recoup anything.
ohhhhh shit are we just straight up doing libel here now? Please present any evidence of the units I made frying a bike. And, if it's not too much to ask, please name some of the people we owed money to and scammed. Take your time. I'll wait because I know how difficult interpreting these words will be.
The fact that those chargers have been out for almost ten years and no one has ever posted this problem would hint it's not a design flaw itself, but a unit or charger problem.
jesu christe man you just figured out what this thread was about. I'm literally trying to diagnose a unit. You *CAN'T* be that stupid.

That is the doghouse, and no I can't move it. I posted this question elsewhere and someone else suggested maybe my fans were installed backwards. My contact, who used to work in Zero's service dept, texted me to say the fans should be drawing in air from the front and blowing it out back. Mine do the opposite, so I'm gonna swap them and see what happens.
