Title: ZF2.8 Power Pack Module 2013 vs 2014
Post by: BSDThw on December 24, 2013, 05:40:38 PM: Does somebody know why the FX 2014 Pack is different from a 2013 Pack at the Web-Store?

Post by: protomech on December 24, 2013, 08:13:07 PM: The 2013 and 2014 ZF2.8 module system is incompatible >:( So you can't use a 2014 module in a 2013 bike, and vice versa.

I'm curious why Zero chose that route. I assume there is a good reason .. but it smells like either terrible engineering or terrible management.

Post by: WindRider on December 25, 2013, 02:21:14 AM: That is a bummer.... one of the reasons that I bought a year end 2013 was that I saw the power tank was using the same battery pack so it gave me some assurance as a buyer that there was a future in that form factor of battery pack... I would like to know what is different if anyone has the scoop.

Post by: protomech on December 26, 2013, 06:36:50 AM: I believe they use the same cells as the 2013. It's possible that it has been tweaked slightly.

Post by: BSDThw on December 26, 2013, 01:24:14 PM: Maybe the Power Tank option need more data to manage the correct function.

I am sorry nobody knows for sure! Do you believe Zero answer this question?
