Here's one I never saw before. I was riding my 2020 SR/F home from Brooklyn and traffic on the Long Island Expressway was EXCRUCIATINGLY slow.  I think I was creeping along at around 12 mph, mostly stop and go. I was watching my estimated range slowly climbing up to ridiculous numbers. First over 200 miles, and eventually over 300 miles. The numbers continued to slowly tick upwards and suddenly, before it could hit 400, it rolled around back to ONE!  The numbers started slowly climbing again and when it hit 27, suddenly it read 357!  Eventually traffic opened up and I was able to cruise at a reasonable rate and the estimated mileage sank down to about 75 with 56% battery left when I got home.

Dear Zero Owners,

March 25th Firmware Update (BMU V20)
This morning on March 25th, as part of our ongoing improvements, we are releasing a firmware update for select 2022+ Zero models that improves the accuracy of the battery state-of-charge and range display. This update addresses a condition where, over time, the system could overestimate available charge, which in rare cases could lead to the motorcycle shutting down before the display reaches 0%. Following installation, some riders may notice a lower battery percentage or reduced range estimate. This is expected and reflects corrected, more accurate readings — actual riding range is not affected.

See details at www.zeromotorcycles.com/firmware .

Ongoing Security Enhancements
Separately, we recently became aware of potential issues in our motorcycles’ firmware and are taking steps to address them with your safety and security in mind. This work is ongoing, and we remain committed to strengthening system protections across our platform.

We understand how important trust and dependability are when you ride.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,
The Zero Motorcycles Team

Sounds like good news to me. Now if only they'd deliver the parts I've been waiting over six weeks for...

I just viewed Adam Waheed's review of the Zero SR/S on Motorcyclist Magazine's website and I can't help but think that there was something wrong with the bike he tested.  For one thing, he claimed the 17.3kWh battery was only good for about 50 miles, but he CLAIMED he wasn't abusing it. My 2020 SR/F with only a 14.4kWh battery is good for well over 100 miles of combined riding (actual real world experience). He also said it made only 100 lbs/ft of torque, but Zero claims 140 lbs/ft and when Cycle World (their sister publication) put an SR/F (same motor) on their dyno they recorded 146 lbs/ft of torque at the rear wheel. He also kept calling it a "Sport Bike" when realistically it's more of a Sport Tourer due to the more relaxed riding position compared to the SR/F. I'd give his review a C- though he was generally positive in his review in general.

If anybody REALLY looked at what they were promising to deliver WHEN they promised it and knew anything at all about the state of technology at the time they should've known they were selling unicorn hooves and fairy dust.

I loved watching it on beIN Sports when it first came out, but ever since I could never find any coverage. And now that Ducati introduced a bike with a solid state battery, MotoE would've been the perfect opportunity to stress test the technology. Instead, DORNA pulls this CRAP???  WTF???
