If you are at Intermot you should have a test ride/wheelie it is fun and the stunt rider Michael Threin is really nice.

I wonder if they will re-introduce the MX with better specs...8.5 battery, higher top speed, etc. That would be closer to what the PES1 seems to be....small, light (under 325 lbs), powerful and wheelie capable, good range..... but with a top speed of at least 75 mph. I would have a hard time resisting something like that.

You're basically describing the DS.

The MX is still available as a MMX model, if you check the press kit. Sounds like it's fleet (read: military) applications only.

I need a lower seat being just under 5'7". All those supermoto, DS bikes look like great fun, but I would need a stepladder to get on board. Even with the lower seat option, it looks like the MX is still an inch or so too tall for me. The S is still my best bet although the SR is not out of the question. I would like both bikes to lose 20 lbs. though. My 2013 Zero S is 355 lbs. which is fine, but it appears the trend is to get more range and thus more weight.

Yes the MMX is the military version of the MX.

Use the 2 fork tubes  from the S  for a FX as supermoto, your brake match the 17''s brake disc and the bike is low. Not sure if the sort back shock is compatible. Order a XU rear shock.
 
I have a DS fork in my FX and it is 6cm shorter + ~6cm less from the 17''. I don't like it because I am tall. I will use an adapter for the brake and the FX fork.

That Wheelie demo on the FX is really nice.... I need to have such a machine to learn the proper balance point wheelie without killing myself.

Of course, the ability to wheelie have been proven to be a genetic trait:  you either have the wheelie gene or you do not.

It's interesting to read through this again and see all of what we said Zero should do, offer a DSR, a supermoto version of the FX, a charger in place of the powertank...none came around for the year we wanted them for, but the next year's lineup, it's all there. So now, what are the objectives for 2017?
