Hey you, I really like your videos about the super 73 ZX. I hope you can help me with a little problem I live in the netherlands and the EU model doesnt come with a Chain guard, could you Maybe reply and put a link where I can buy one. Greetings from Holland!!
Congrats on your ZX. Interesting it doesn't. I don't know where you could get one, to be honest. I almost like the bikes w/o the chain guard, to be honest. Thanks for checking in though.
Hey Tim, silly question but how many max miles can the ZX go if you conserve throttle for example mode 1 PAS 1-4? Mostly in PAS 1 &2? From stock 🔋 battery? I’m looking to do a 50 mile ride and only have a stock battery
You would need to do a lot of pedal assist, but I'd say it's doable. Bring your charger just in case... Or better yet, grab a Super Fast Charger from ChiBatterySystems and get 5% off with code SESSIONS73. See what I did there?
Great video! Is there a way to get the battery down without riding outside? Here in Indiana closer to the great lakes and I'm pretty sure the wind chill would kill me if I rode the miles needed to get it down to 50%. Always enjoy the videos. Keep up the good work! I have an RX...don't know if that makes any difference.
@@VijaGamez I have a solar generator and bought an adapter online so I can just dump the stored energy in my ebike better into my power station that way I can use it for something else. I don't like the idea of just running the motor like that because it counts towards the odometer which can't be reset and it would take a while otherwise because it's spinning without any resistance.
Cool vid man! I'm definitely thinking of getting an S2. Just wondering if it's ok to store the bike itself outdoors like that, maybe under a bike cover during the cold months? Then I would just take the battery indoors where it's warmer.
@@jacob_pascua I really wish, as its a lot safer too. Only problem is I live on the 1st floor and it's quite a ways up to be carrying the s2 on a daily basis.
curious if there's any way to check the battery level independent of mounting it to the bike... especially if I'm gonna store the bike under a cover, etc. for the winter.
I’d be concerned more about the bikes motors and electrical components being hit with frost and extreme cold 🥶. Battery’s not so much as they can be taken indoors.
I wrap mine up in a blanky and put little lithy in a cot for the long winter sleep, snug and warm 😂
The only way.
Hey Tim, another informative vid be careful out there!
Thanks, will do!

thanks, very helpful
Glad it helped!
What is really needed is safe discharge device that has voltage reading auto shutoff when the battery gets tp desired voltage.
Agreed
Informative video Sessions73!
Thank you!

how long should you leave it at 50% before you charge it? one or two months ok?
I think it would be fine for a few months if it’s only discharging a few percent a month.

I have an RX...don't know if that makes any difference.
And a Chi battery as well.
The only way I can think of is to prop that back tire a bit and run the throttle. Even if you get it down around 80% I bet you’ll be good.
@@SESSIONS73 Thank you! I'll have to careful it does take off in my house. Yikes!

damn the whole time i thought i had to fully charge it every month or so during the winter!
Just store it around 80% and you're good.

I would definitely get a tarp. I am able to put mine in a shed, but it’s definitely not heated.
personally i think it’s best just to bring the bike inside, i have a zx and i br8ng it indoors to stay at room temp

Wow! what a unusual vlog,SSESSIONS73-))
V unusual

I’ve wondered that too. The ZX has an indicator light, but the S2 and R series dont
Sure carefully use a volt/ohm meter connected to the output of the battery at it's connector.
Is 45 percent to low to store battery ? I'm not gonna ride again til March
I am sure you'll be fine. Could throw it on the charger for a half hour if you think it's too low.
I’d be concerned more about the bikes motors and electrical components being hit with frost and extreme cold 🥶. Battery’s not so much as they can be taken indoors.
I keep mine in a shed.
