As long every 2nd hand Zero is sold the prices will be oke.

Do not talk and speculate!!!

Show that you still get 8000 € for your 2013 Zero

I think not, added 23k km in 1 year.
So to get same price for a 1 year older bike with 2 times the range done would be..... weird, don't it?
But if they sold the same bike now I would buy it again for €8000.
But mostly I see nothing that cheap!!

Nobody will sell a 2013/14 Zero because he will not get any money for it anyway !!!

If you really bought a 2013 Zero for 8000 € a year ago, you've made the bad business of your life
Here in Germany 2016 will be DSR´s
for 9900€ sale .

The price can be traded with security

[dennis-NL]

I don't have €1900 spare money.
So if I see any DS for €8000 (or less) I would buy it again if I was looking......
Fact is there aren't any, so why bad deal?
I drive for 1 year now instead of nothing 😎

Zero dealer was certainly pleased when you picked up the museum part for the price.
I would have saved the 1000 € and now a better bike



If you can not afford motorcycling you should let it

[dennis-NL]

....... 2013 and up are not museum part.....
....... €1900 price diference.....
....... I prefer riding now instead of waiting .....
....... your last line in last comment is stupid, thx for wasting my time thinking you were serious .....

This second hand market issue is a real problem - customers can change their mind, or move, or extend their family and need to buy a car. In this case, you are basically stuck with your bike. This is a problem you don't have if you buy an ICE bike (you know exactly for how much you can sell it) or even a BMW Evo scooter (there is an active second hand market).

It is of course not possible for Zero to "make this market" - Zero is a very small company with limited resources. But they could definitively be nicer with customers when big costly issues happen after the commercial warranty period. EV have a bad reputation for battery longevity, and Zero had several quality problems especially with the first models. I also understand that the situation in the US is much better than in Europe (might be timezone or language issues, or Zero putting a lower priority on Europe ?).

Nobody cares with replacing a minor part, or paying a bit more than usual to replace plastic part, but if customers know they might have the pay their bike's value in repairs, they just wont buy a used bike. If people are not able to sell a used Zero, then many people wont buy a new one.

Moto 7575 I feel your pain (imagine Bill Clinton talking)
Any time you buy a used "whatever" it likely won't be as nice or last as long under your ownership as a new "whatever" but it's almost always cheaper in the long run.
I hate your motor went out but please either have it replaced or sell it for parts and the battery.
A cheap used vehicle is cheap because the new owner has to figure some repair costs into the purchase price.
Sale price + repair cost = less than new cost almost always.

Good luck man.

No market for this. With other models you can resell for parts. Not with a Zero. I'm taking a different path - ongoing expertise + opening a case. Will let you know.

Seem to be a lot of people looking for Zero powertrains for other uses.  In France, maybe a river hydrofoil boat or an aircraft?
