Thanks for the suggestions.  Still trying to revive the battery.

Those leaf modules look interesting.

Whats the worse case range on a stock 2010, theoretically speaking, you know, uphill both ways, overweight rider, 30mph headwind, battery in operating condition.

I'll be riding it in the dirt mostly. Is a 12 mile round trip to the post office a realistic first goal?

Great, awesome build! Read the full version, now I just have to explain to the boss what I've been doing for the last while

Well at least you didn't nod off.   And he likely already knows where you've been and how long you've been there!


Anyone know the rated capacity of the 2010 zero s battery? Documentation is seriouly lacking on the 2010s!

And I've come up with a short term charging solution, hooked up a couple of my bench top power supplies in series :)  sad thing is I'll max out at 3a, hopefully I don't grow old while it charges ???

Wow that looks pretty cool, you should start a build thread on ADV RIDER, not being sarcastic, I would love to see what the build was like!

Ahh grasshopper, ask and you shall receive.

I've read of the same pack recovering after being down to 37V.  I don't mind replacing cells if/when found to be unrecoverable.

The components are worth what I have in it and I like to build motorcycles! However this is my first electric intended to carry a human.

Here's a bike I put together a Ninja 650 with suspension from a KTM.  Plenty of power and suspension. I was out on a week long camping trip in this pic somewhere near Cheaha Mtn.

Thanks for the great forum! Lots of useful information. 

I hope to contribute.

Recently picked up a 2010 S

The battery has not been plugged in, voltage is 39v.  I have the battery out and apart, will begin by charging with my RC charger.

It didn't come with a charger, can someone recommend an inexpensive one?
