Say Hello To "Sparky"

[mreric]

The windshield is manufactured by MRA Motorcycle Windshields, not Givi.

oh, I thought it was GIVI. could you give us a review on that then? how it is working?

I bet you get a lot of looks from people when you are driving it around. I did this morning while on the Interstate...

Sure do!
Lost count of people taking pictures from another moving car on there Mobile (Cell) Phone.......
Last year my brother went to Monaco and there was a Twizy parked up.
It was surrounded by Ferraris and other Exotic Supercars but everyone was crowding around the little Renault Twizy taking pictures!

I will get everyone a review on this accessory with my thoughts regarding it after I get through editing pictures that I took of Sparky yesterday. I will need a couple of those images...

Bruce,
Don't let all of our requests for information interfere with your riding time on Sparky. I know if it was my bike I'd be riding more than writing on this Forum. Enjoy the long weekend with Sparky.

Takes a lot more time to "fill up" his than the NC. He'll have plenty of time for the forum. (trying for funny - not sarcasm )

But he can adjust his "valves" and sync his "throttle body" a lot quicker than you!
Also his anti-freeze will probably require less changing?

Hey All,

I have completed going through all the pictures that I took and edited best of them. I hope that you all can enjoy the beauty of this bike and what it has to offer.

Here's the link to CHECK OUT the pics.

Enjoy!!! Also try not to drool all over your keyboards...

Here's a teaser....

Center stand?

 

[Brillot2000]

Center stand?

Sorry, NO!!! I guess that the Zero Engineers did not see any value in put in one or offering it as an option.

I guess that you ready need it, you'd have to use One of These then.

can electric do wheelie?

 

[pismocycleguy]

can electric do wheelie?

Probably much easier than most petrol fueled bikes! Electric has much more torque instantly than any fuelly, except maybe a diesel.

 

[Brillot2000]

can electric do wheelie?

Probably, however I will not try it due to how much this bike costed me. I did feel the front wheel come off the ground during accelerating quickly though...

 

[Brillot2000]

Electric has much more torque instantly than any fuelly, except maybe a diesel.

We will have to see about that when a "Turbo Diesel" motorcycle finally makes it to the market.

Diesels are torque monsters for what they do. It could snap a drive chain quickly or shatter some transmission gears if not careful.

Diesel Engine Explosion.

 

[Brillot2000]

Many of you asked about my mileage on while using "ECO". I found that "ECO" is best suited for use within the city or elsewhere while you will not to exceed 70 MPH. The acceleration is very gradual up to 40 MPH with the throttle wide-open and then it starts to come alive.

I drove around on city streets yesterday and using mostly "ECO" and occasionally switching to order modes. I drove 19.3 miles and only used 17% of a charge for that mileage driven.

A electric vehicle characteristics can be tuned by adjusting the controller by plugging a Laptop in
You could have as much power available from 'tickover' that the bike would be completely unrideable!

If you had a diesel and an electric motor with similar max torque number the electric would be "torqueier" because it would be as max torque from the moment it started moving, and would only drop off at very high RPMs.

The diesel only hits max torque at one particular range in it's power curve.

Of course a big diesel will have more power than a small electric, and vice versa...

I was about to ask, as a joke, if your "Sparky" has a connection to Web when I saw a Bluetooth icon on bike's display, when today I read this:

"AT&T and ZTE will begin selling their new plug-in vehicle Wi-Fi hotspot."

The Bluetooth is not for web-surfing. It's to share the bike's live data with the Zero Phone App and to create the "CUSTOM" user settings profile.

Don't say it! I knew that it something wrong with it when I moved over 30 feet and lost communication with source....

 

[Brillot2000]

Bluetooth is used in the following manner as shown in the screenshots below.
