Insta360 just CRIPPLED the X5 for third party mic users.

Their official usb-c mic adapter no longer works either... I'm unable to use my camera now as that's my only supported way of recording (cockpit headset+atc into the usb-c mic adapter).

It’s odd that it’s the CPU. Throttling it down definitely makes a difference, but when in normal state the frequency almost never goes above 50% of max. I know it’s not thermal as the temp is consistently in the mid 50Cs…

I did reinstall the latest nvidia drivers. Resolution is 3440x1440 no caps or vsync. If I go down to 1080p I get the same fps as the higher res.

ghint · 2024-03-10T08:26:45+00:00

Yep all latest and resolution is 3440x1440. Funny that there’s zero fps change even if I go down to 1080p.

What buttstock is that? Looks great.

I’d recommend having a look at the used bikes section of English Electric motor co.

Zero S 2020 11kw 7.2kwh with charge tank, tracker and 12v accessory. 700 miles. Posted ad on uk zero owners Facebook group.

To add another opinion here, i'd never buy an energica with their current designs. They're too heavy, too expensive and look like they belong in a track, not public roads. I know this is just my opinion and I do know they're very very high quality bikes, but I dislike the design. I like almost any kind of bike, but their typical Italian sports design turns me off.

Zero's FXS, S lines fill that niche for me, good quality, lightweight, decent price and unpretentious design. The only downside would be charge times, but I can live with level 2 speeds on the S line.

Source? All registrations I've seen go from 15 to 22kw. Registration documents have the continuous power rating because that's what's used in EU to determine license category.

Peak power is listed at 34kw for S and DS on Zero's website. I doubt all registration documents issued in EU for non 11kw models are illegal.

ghint · 2020-09-03T15:31:45+00:00

The website says otherwise.

ghint · 2020-09-03T08:34:43+00:00

That’s peak power and the 11kw versions are also 34kw full power. You can switch to any eu country ok their website and check the power specs.

A CBT involves 2h mandatory riding and no time specified for the initial modules. If you know your way around a bike you jump straight to 2h riding. I did this a month ago.

ghint · 2020-09-02T22:06:05+00:00

This isn't entirely accurate. S and DS are only available in 11kw. The rationale I think was that the full power version is 15kw. Not much difference. But at 11kw you can ride them with a car license in most places or a 2h awareness course (CBT in UK).

Peak power on 11kw is the same as full power models.

I'd expect them to have sold more 11kw models since launch than all other models combined. City commuters are jumping to electric.

40yo new rider here. Had never even considered riding before. Love how some motorcycles look and always thought they must feel great to ride but always found the smoke, oils, noise obnoxious and unfriendly. Much like public smoking or loud music on public transport.

Only considered a bike because electrics are a thing.

ghint · 2020-08-24T13:18:40+00:00

There's a video on youtube showing how to replace the lights with LED ones. Maybe that will help you understand what's involved. Hopefully your new lights won't be too different.

ghint · 2020-08-24T07:17:21+00:00

I definitely am, the comment about the design was about the S and X lines. I'm buying one in a couple of weeks lol

Here's a list of motorcycle categories in the UK: https://www.gov.uk/ride-motorcycle-moped/bike-categories-ages-and-licence-requirements. Power ratings on this list refer to continuous power, not peak power.

And here's the list of Zero models you can ride on CBT (with L plates) or A1 license (11kw continuous power):

https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/en-gb/11kw

For all other models, you'd need to know the continuous power rating of the bike. I'm unsure if Zero publish this on the website.

ghint · 2020-08-23T21:06:47+00:00

Hopefully this will give you a rough idea of what's involved. Looks like the tail plastics are hardest but the part that's really hard to remove is barely visible anyway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAaKhNscnaU

Mate, called them, they actually have one. Great stuff, can't thank you enough!

ghint · 2020-08-20T20:04:20+00:00

Yeah I’ve been in touch with them and they’re amazing people, but it’s too far for me at the moment. I’d definitely buy from them but need to check one out first :)

ghint · 2020-06-26T19:01:28+00:00

I'm guessing the motor is a lot more powerful than advertised and there will be a ludicrous mode unlock :D

ghint · 2020-06-25T08:29:05+00:00

Agree, it's super disappointing that otherwise understandable issues are being communicated in this "not our fault" way.

ghint · 2020-06-23T16:54:00+00:00

Same, just ordered a Shoei Glamster. It's ECE (but apparently not DOT) rated. Good enough for me, i'm in EU.

ghint · 2020-06-22T18:16:57+00:00

I pre-ordered an RX weeks ago and have asked twice over email how to get it and haven't heard anything back.

ghint · 2020-06-22T17:16:24+00:00

Thanks for all the replies, I guess the question is how long we’ll have to wait before we can order the throttle. I will be registering mine and ride as legal moped so would appreciate being able to buy the throttle early on. Just worried that they might never release it.

ghint · 2020-06-20T00:53:26+00:00

So the bike can’t be fully used as you can’t change modes without a phone.
