I want to guess too. I say an optional 14.1 ZF battery, optional ABS, return of the cooling fan, and larger controller meaning higher sustained speed in the S model.

How long before people start trying to hack the Gen4 Size 8 controllers onto the bike... /jk

My guess is a 14.3 battery, and, going out on a limb, an entirely new instrument cluster. Possibly Size-6 as an aftermarket option like CHaDeMO was on the 2013, however I reckon that level 2 charging might come as standard on the 14.3 model...

That's my hat in the ring.

I will guess at a larger optional battery as said, but definitely changes to suspension and instrument cluster.  Also some kind of integrated charging option i.e. extra chargers in luggage that mounts on the bike.  Im also expecting a Zero RS with the size 6 controller but it will be limited edition, something like 100 bikes.

Lot's of whishes has been granted: suspension, tires, possible to carry passenger on FX, brand new R-version of the S..

Interesting, the XU is gone. The Power-tank concept is brilliant. 106ft lb torque..... WOW.

I was surprised to see both the XU and MX missing.... I know that MX sales were really small but the XU seemed to have a following.

I'm guessing the FX can be converted to MX specs for those small amount of customers...

Are they really missing, or not just updated this year? I recon they will be revamped for 2015 instead. I think both MX and XU makes sense in the model program.

They are missing from the website anyway...

From a press release:

"After conducting market research and listening to customers, Zero has chosen to refine the consumer product line to three core models: the Zero S, Zero DS and Zero FX."

That make good marketing sense to me and will simplify parts availability.

Yeah, I noticed the missing MX and XU models.

Are e-moto's really "toys for the rich"?

I'm curious because (1) Colorado dropped it's $6000 tax rebate for emoto's and the dealer told me it has had no impact on sales.  (2) I recently visited the Zero factory and was told that the typical Zero owner views price as a "minor concern".  And (3) Zero's 2014 lineup is all about high-end (and high-price).

Looks like not much change in the 2014 FX. That makes me happy - I won't be tempted to buy a fourth Zero. I do like the new dash however, I wonder if i can upgrade that part?

Nice to know I can continue to enjoy riding my 2013 FX without feeling like I'm on a dinosaur.

Also a new situation for me - I have to decide each time if I want to ride my FX or my e-Trike. I guess that's a good problem to have!
