The good news is that nothing really sneaks up on you since battery depletion is predictable. Plus, you can slow way down and the range increases dramatically so you could limp home. I have a Prius V, and it doesn't really matter how I drive the car, I get very close to 43 mpg. With the Zero, I can get from 40 miles to well over 100 miles on a full charge depending on how fast I ride. I can get 10 miles per bar if I slow to under 30 mph, or I can go 80 mph and get 4 miles per bar.

same thing happend to me, though I wasn't doing it on purpose, I ran out (luckily) about 50 feet from my driveway... the highway is what killed me, I was going 70-80mph till it over heated and cut me down to around 55-50mph while it cooled down.

I love my FX, I've had it fully submerged in water, I've jumped it, I've put 3,000+ miles on it and ride it almost every day, I also have a short commute to work (there and back is maybe a quarter charge).

the 13FX 5.7 has PLENTY of power (that second battery adds a lot of "top end" power, I've ridden with just one when there were some battery issues earlier this year).

there's a couple of things to watch out for that I've experienced, listen for a "clicking" while riding, it's an easy fix and well known, but if you have it you need it treated. the rear brakes will probably squeel, mine still do it a little now, but I never tried to correct it.

if you're not carful with the throttle the front wheel will lift off the ground all the way to about 35-40 MPH, the bike is VERY light for it's power so be aware of that.

other than that, I think you'll enjoy it a lot!

(sorry I have stolen the FX photo at the forum once - hope it is OK.

Thats ok, you can use my pic... my FX isn't NEARLY that clean anymore.... haha


I have about 3,000 miles on my FX so far, I'll have to check my stats and post back here.

Thanks !!! And yes simple bulb replacement. And for the headlight I went to http://www.usa.philips.com/c/car-lamps/x-tremevision-9003-12-v-67-60-w-9003xvs2/prd/en/

so you didn't go with an LED headlight?

I've had a mirror loosen while riding and some need for Allan wrenches.

Trikester

Ive had to tighten mirrors twice, I ended up just removing one of them and leaving one.. .next time it goes loose on me I'm breakin out the loctite!

still crossing my fingers hopefully any day now.

The quick charge connector is hidden behind the gray formex panel.

I cut a slot in the formex and have used mine
