Zero have cleverly ensured that the overheating is confined to the motor only so they seem to be ahead of Tesla on that one 😜

You can overheat the battery on my 2013 Zero. Nothing indicates it is overheated, but if you try to charge, it won't until your battery cools off. Take a long time for that too...at least an hour with a fan on it. It never feels very hot, but it's well insulated. Inside I suspect it is well over the temp that allows charging. Some people have had this happen with the bike just sitting in the hot sun.

You can see batt temp on the app

That's my number 1 guage. Only one I even consider looking at sometimes motor temp

I'm curious... Anyone seen the charger, coat, etc show up yet?  I know they'd told me they expected shipments to be received by 7/3 which is this week but it's been over a month since that was mentioned.  Wondering if they're staying on track with their estimate.

Mine was waiting at the door when I got home today!  Coat fits well and like the look.

Mine was here too today.  I would guess you will see yours very soon.

I got my charger and jacket about a week ago. I'll be using both this weekend on the Hollilster run :-)

+1 on the jacket - I was slightly miffed at the time as I already have plenty of leather gear but the Zero jacket is far superior to the Alpinestars leather I've had for a few years.

Needless to say the Alpinestars jacket will be going up for cheap on eBay soon - the Zero jacket is higher quality with a better fit on my medium frame.

Haven't had a chance to mess with the charger. I don't plan to use it on the bike but instead will snag a charger adapter and use it to charge one of my FX modules off-bike while I'm running the other one down in the dirt.

Got my leather jacket and aux charger today!

Not sure I'll be using the charger (read "probably won't"), so, ... if anyone wants to buy one, PM me.  I haven't decided to actually list it for sale, but, it'll probably be collecting dust for at least a little while.
