Zero FX started smoking and burst into flames last month. I have serious burns on my right thigh requiring multiple skin grafts. I been complaining for months that the batteries were getting hot when charging and that this was the same thing that happened to a former colleague in Seattle.

It is not their vehicle and something is very wrong with this demand and their attempt to silence me.

Through my own diagnosis, with online help, I believe the issue to be the dc/dc converter signal from the main bike board. The manufacturer has been contacted by phone and email, and has ignored me, the local dealer has been contacted in person and by phone, and has ignored me. I have an unsafe vehicle that is just over 2 years old with 3227 miles on it.
