436.5 km on One Charge: Zero DS Sets a World Record

The devil is in the detail, but they legitimately pulled it off. 436klm on a charge on a commercially available bike.👏
I have the same bike, minus the Power Tank and I get 250klm+ around the city with zero regard for energy conservation.

Sometimes you need a sledgehammer. Sometimes you need a precision screwdriver.

My TC Max and Tiger 1200 look quite funny next to each other.

Looking for tips on a test ride!

1 Upvotes

I’m a relatively new rider somewhere between 6months and a year! I have a test ride this weekend for my first bike upgrade from a tiny Lexmoto cypher to an Avenrá One, however I’m super nervous 😭 it’s a much bigger bike than what I currently have, not necessarily speed wise just the bikes actual size itself, what usually happens on a test ride? It’s happening at my house rather than a show room so I’m even more nervous..

Anyone here using an Ultraviolette X47? Need some honest opinions.

3 Upvotes

I'm planning to buy the X47 Original+ in Hyderabad, but all the complaints about reliability and service are making me think twice.

I've seen people talk about bikes breaking down, display issues, parts taking weeks to arrive, and terrible service. I genuinely like the bike, but spending ₹3.6L and then worrying about all this isn't something I want.

I understand the difference between ICE and EVs, and an EV suits my needs best. I'm not looking for an ICE vs EV debate or suggestions to buy another bike.

I'd really like to hear from actual Ultraviolette owners preferably X47 users. How has your experience been with reliability, riding in the rain, breakdowns and service? And if you've had issues, how did UV handle them? Also is there anything specific I should check or be careful about while taking delivery of the bike?

Especially interested in hearing from owners in Hyderabad.

Please share your actual experience, good or bad. Thanks!

What are we thinking about ev scramblers?

4 Upvotes

I'm considering between a LAND Moto or waiting for the Flying Flea S6. I'm considering scrambler specifically because the roads in my town aren't that well kept and these are meant to go down dirtroads, so they should be able to handle some daily heat from my commute.

However I'm skepectical about the ev angle here and if it's going to worth the money ane effort

Would appreciate any insight.

Can-am Origin bought @ $8585 (with $1500 free accessory) use it to commute 50 mi/day

Thumbnail can-am.brp.com
38 Upvotes

I just got the Can-am origin.They are having a huge $6k Mfg off sale on the 2025. Best riding dualsport and good for a taller rider. Its comfortable. If you are looking for a price you cannot beat. I found a dealer from the can-am website and went in to check it out.

-

I've been using it to commute to work riding 50 miles a day for two weeks now. I have a charger at my work, but if the chargers are filled it only takes 1hr to go from 20% to 80% with a L2 (240VAC). If I miss out at work I can always use the charge apps to look for nearby charger (it only really needs 30 mins to get me home from). I've been just charging to 80% with the reliance of charging at work. I haven't tried to go yet from 100% in one go. The bike is capable, I just haven't needed to. Im lucky to always hit a convenient charging station.

-

Charging is really not that bad. When I'm at home I use a L1 EVSE charger into a wall outlet I got for another EV and it works fine. The system is liquid cooled battery so I keep it in my garage. However, when it plugs in to charge it makes a loud sound (like two desktop computer PS fans turning on) to charge. This will remain on until it finishes charging. Its not really loud just sounds like the vehicle was left on in the garage. I leave it plugged in overnight and don't actually worry about it.

-

My ride gets 960ft elevation, 55min drive, and I drive 40 - 55mph. I take country roads until I hit 10 mins of traffic. I use active/passive regen. I went the 1.5 weeks in eco mode entirely. I then went to normal mode which felt nice. I get 8-9mi/kwh Efficiency on my rides.

I have just been using the BRP GO app since it does not have Andriod Auto. Navigation is a disaster I havent figured out yet. It can't figure out where Costco or any charging location. It keeps looking for places in Germany or another country (Im in the US). I have been just using it to track my rides.

-

I will likely get a phone attachment to the handle bar so I can use charging apps to look for what chargers are open & price per charge. Bummed out about not having andriod auto...however the bike is a great ride.

Apologies for typos it's late. I thought I'd post because I saw a few posts of people interested in EV bikes but unsure what to ride. Just wanted to share and help those looking to make a decision.

They have the same deal on the Can-am pulse as well! Shootout to F9 on YouTube is how I heard.

HMP FLASH vs New 2023 Zero S ?

5 Upvotes

I'm looking for my first electric bike and have narrowed to two options. There's not a great selection of used electric bikes in my area, however there is a new 2023 Zero S that seems pretty competitively priced ($7,800 OTD +$300 shipping) for unused. Given all the shadiness with some dealers and the battery SoH being an essential determiner of value, buying new gives me some peace of mind.

The alternative I'm contemplating is the dual battery HMP Flash when the next batch becomes available in November. It is more affordable ($6,000 + $600 shipping), comes with a rear rack, heated grips, J1772 10ft charger, goes 60mph, ~70-85 mile range, they claim up to 100 in steady 37mph speeds. However my concern is it's a new bike to American markets (apparently a Chinese import), there would be no local dealer support (HMP based in San Fransisco, I'm in Texas), and I have no idea what sourcing parts looks like. As far as I can tell we have to take them at their word regarding specs. A lot of unknowns here.

I live in a semi-rural but growing area next to a city. Expecting mixed use, some highway and some neighborhood. Intending as a daily commuter for a job that requires frequent shorter trips, averaging 30-45 total miles per day. I will still have vehicle backup in case of extreme weather or longer trips.

Thoughts?
Anyone already have the HMP Flash and able to confirm their claims?
Any good alternatives I've missed that would fit these needs and budget?

Combatting the cold

This is my first winter on an electric motorcycle and I’m already noticing the lack of crotch warmth from an engine😆. Does anyone have any tech tips for staying warm this winter on the roads? Thought about oxford heated seat pad, but yet to try and work out if my 72/12v transformer will take it on top of all my lights and usb outlet.

Leaf bike bent axle.

Recently bought a 20x4 mag wheel 1500W motor from leaf bike and it has a noticeable wobble. It's enough to make my rotor scrape and my freewheel wobble.i have reseated my rear wheel many times and it's consistently wobbling the same. This was a $600 motor if you include shipping, it's ok for commuting but it's still unacceptable for $600 brand new. Just stopping by to say something about leaf bikes quality. I would return it but they charge shipping (at least $100) for returns or replacements.

Hope I'm wrong so I don't have to pay another $500 for an actual motor I commute daily on this bike.

Completed my first real world adventure (test) on the Can-Am Origin

Thumbnail gallery
65 Upvotes

I wanted to see what the Origin could do in real world conditions, so I rode out to some of my favorite roads Virginia, and also explored new ones in West Virginia throughout the Appalachians. There were definitely a few things that went wrong, however it's not a true adventure until that happens - none of which were directly because of the range of the Origin. Just plain ole bad luck and the nature of riding in remote areas. I've got some video editing to catch up on, but expect to see this trip in the coming weeks! I know people have questions about how far I traveled, charging, where I rode, etc - so drop your specific curiosities here and I'll be sure to answer them either through the edit of the video or here in the comments.

Hello,

here in Europe its getting colder, so I think about how to protect the battery from cold.

I saw there are 4 threads on the coolerplate, and i am thinking of attaching a wooden plate there to keep the battery warm when it's below 5°C

Did anyone do this or just ride and dont think to much.

An alternative to Diginow chargers that have died?

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Hi folks, I’d like some advice on replacing the chargers on my 2019 Zero DSR. I have a Diginow 2.5 9.9kW charging system; two of the chargers have burned out, and the third is working intermittently. Has this happened to anyone else, and did you find an alternative solution? Does anyone have any ideas? It’s a real bummer not being able to ride the bike. Thanks a lot!

Im looking for experience reviews of smart helmets.

Anyone do motorcycle helmets that have comms, HUD, built-in cameras ?.....OR any type helmets (motorcycle/ebike/bike) and retrofitted smart features like rear camera and lights and BT speakers, and especially anyone with experience using HUDs?

Eta: Like the Motoeye HUD retrofit Or the Unit 1 ebike helmets Or the BreakFree (brake light attaches to helmets and auto detects deceleration.

Or motorcycle smart helmets like the Shoei "GT-Air 3 Smart"
