I kind of like the organic look to it, much more like an animal. Not an iron horse, but a steel cheetah.

Style aside, for about the same price of a Zero FXS 7.2 you're getting some really nice upgrades:

• Color LCD display
• 8.9kWh battery
• 2.3kW charger (upgradable to 6.9kW)
• Reverse drive
• Helmet and phone storage with USB-C charging

I hope that bikes like this one pressure Zero to incorporate those features as standard to all their bikes without inflating their prices. Maybe the FXE will be the first to do that.

Thank you, gt13013, that's good info. I'll definitely monitor the temperature.

BrianTRice, here's a few other details that might be helpful about the HK-LF-108-60:

Dimensions
12x9.1x4.3 inches @ 16 pounds with no mounting brackets and no cables attached.
12x10.7x4.3 inches @ 16.6 pounds with mounting brackets and no cables attached.
When cables are attached, the length becomes about 14 inches instead of 12, which includes space for a little bend to the cabling if carrying in a hard case.

Power input is NEMA 6-20P to Amphenol HVSL633 063A106I with 11AWG wires.
Power output is Amphenol HVSL362 062A110I to bare end with 10mm^2 wires.
CAN BUS power is labeled 14V 60W with 20AWG wires.
CAN BUS signal is 22AWG wires and includes a resistor across the lines (appears to be 110ohm±10%).

I wrote to Elcon to ask if they intend to sell the HK-L 6.6kw charger, and it turns out they already do! Knowing that I wanted to charge a Zero, they said I should get the HK-LF-108-60 model (which I didn't know existed). It took about 1 week to arrive, and I've been playing around with it to charge my FXS 7.2. For now I am just charging from a standard NA outlet at 10 amps + 5 amps of the onboard charger. Hopefully soon I'll receive a J1772 to C-13R+pigtail adapter from TucsonEV. I have the back rack ready to install too, so I'm pretty excited about having a huge boost in riding possibilities!

A few other things of note:
- It was $1500 + $27 shipping to Chicago. I couldn't find it anywhere else, and I wanted the smaller size and weight so I paid the premium.
- They said they only sell the CAN BUS version, not the charge enable version.
- I went with a Thunderstruck EVCC. I had to change the baud rate to 500kbps in order to receive anything from the HK-L. Otherwise it was easy to configure.
- The charger, cables, and case weigh 25 pounds combined.

I suspect the belt of my 2020 FXS is way too tight, and reading through this thread has me worried. I bought a Krikit 91107 tension tester, and 9 times out of 10 the plastic piece doesn't deflect at all. Using the tester app I get consistent readings of about 46Hz, which is low, but in spec. I think the app is reading incorrectly because having watched a few youtube videos on tension testing, their belts seem to have tons of give compared to mine. Also, I don't know if it's related but my bike seems to groan a lot even at low speeds.

I'm fairly new at this, so pardon my ignorance. Do I need a jack or stand to change the tension? The manual doesn't say so, but it may be one of those assumed things. Thanks in advance.
