Zero Motorcycles iOS and Android App for Electric Bikes
The company that manufactures electric bikes, Zero Motorcycles, has just released cool application for both iPhone and Android smartphones which can be paired up with any of their new electric bikes.
Not only does it give owners rafts of real-time information about their machines – everything from time left to charge to the average watt-hours used per mile – but it can also be used to fine tune eco-mode performance characteristics. Want to boost the regenerative braking or increase available torque? No problem. Limit top speed? Easy peasy.
But wait, there’s more. It also features a riding mode that allows the display of five different variables on the screen of your device while the bike’s in motion. You can monitor the motor, controller, and battery temperatures, as well as the current state of charge. How about a trip odometer and the time of day? Yes, please. In all, there are 12 different settings to choose from and you can configure their position on the screen.
If you act now and download the app for your smartphone, you may discover features that could prove handy in the event your Zero suffers some sort of malfunction. Along with links to online and phone support, it also has the ability to pull the bike’s logs and email them directly to the company for analysis. Did we mention this app is way cool? We did? Good. Because this is waaaaaay cool.
If you don’t own any of Zero electric motorcycles at the moment, you could still download this software and check it out in demo mode. And, what you couldn’t figure out, you could read about it on the Zero website. Still, there’s nothing like the real thing.
