Zero XU 2011 - Less than 500km, new battery [SOLD]
« on: July 21, 2018, 11:53:45 PM »


The Bike is SOLD

For Sale is a 2011 Zero XU.

$3500 Canadian. Located in Calgary, AB, Canada.

I bought this Electric Motorcycle last year from a former Zero dealership in Calgary. The bike was used as a demo and had a dead battery and next to zero kms on it.

The battery has been replaced (the current battery has almost twice the capacity compared to the original, 66Ah now vs 37Ah original) and the bike is working perfectly.

This is a small electric motorcycle ideal to commute to work.

This Motorcycle is basically new! The original price new is 8000USD.

Details and Specs:

-About 325km total on the odometer. 23hrs of use.
-Speed up to 100kmh
-Range on a single charge (tested) 50-80km depending on speed, wind, weight of rider, etc.
-Onboard 110v 1.3kw charger. Uses a normal 110v plug so you can plug in and charge anywhere. A lot of charging station for electric cars have a 110v plug (L1) on top of the L2/L3 interface.
-Charge from 0% to ~90% in 2.5hrs
-Additional "fuel" gauge for more accurate reading on battery level (the original display is calibrated on the original battery, which had much less juice)
-Currently registered, plated and insured. Can go on the road like any other motorcycle.

Serious inquiries only. No shipping and no paypal.

The reason I am selling this bike is that I have changed job and I am travelling a lot and cannot really use the bike. I would like to see this bike go to someone that can use it and enjoy it as much as I would like to.

Congrats on selling your XU!
Your ad said it had a new battery, looking for new batteries for our 2010s & 2011. Wondering where you were able to get a new battery from? Thanks!

Hello!
Thank you.

I built a new battery with Nissan Leaf cells. It was the easiest and cheapest solution I found. I am in Canada and cells availability is limited here compared to the US.

Cool! Thanks for getting back to me!  Just got our bikes last week & have been trying to learn all about how to rebuild &/or where to source new batteries from.

No Problem!

These cells might be a good solution provided they are configured correctly for sustaining the load :
