0F is no problem . . .
I glided home last night with 11F temps. Below 40F is no problem. Trigger is stalled in a 55F garage but prior to below freezing glides, I take her out for a quick 1/2 mile or so glide to "equalize" the batteries and allow the system to acclimate itself. Further, in extreme cold, it's been my experience that the Battery Measure on the InkoKey is inaccurate and the 1/2 mile glide allows Trigger to re-calibrate to show a more true reading. After the short glide, I plug Trigger in and wait 30 or so minutes and then have little difficulty in cold or snow. Ice is always tricky, however.
Trigger has "Blinky" on the InfoKey and running on a set of rebuilt MTOs. When I had the old OEMs, the stick shake did happen, but the 1/2 mile short glide in preparation of a longer glide usually corrected that issue. Performance is limited initially, but after a couple of miles its all Giddyup. Reduced distance without a doubt but little problem in the cold if you prep (and dress) properly.
