Thank you all for the replies. I will try to have an extended drive test once again and get a better idea. Will keep posted.

@TEV Thanks for bringing up that point.
I should probably add the following as well:
The bike seems to be maintained well, which i conclude from maintainence check-book: It has been to the dealer ever year for a checkup roughly every 1000 km and there seems to be no issues documented.
At least it was not kept low charge for long periods of time (years). The seller mentioned that the bike was ridden every summer for around 600 KM.
Thanks

« on: May 31, 2022, 04:33:56 PM »Hey,Thanks for that quick reply.
that price is kinda okay, even though there was an SR sold a couple months ago here in Germany for 6000. 11.4kWh battery though.
Anyway, the real question is, was the battery kept at full charge all the time? If so, that's bad. And what percentage has it been kept at? Anything below 50% for most of the time and I don't see a problem.
I believe my battery is 2015 (it says so in the BMS), and it's in amazing condition, perfect cell balance and very good capacity.
Best regards from Stuttgart
So the only way to figure out is to ask the seller how it is stored and take it for granted or is there a technical way to identify the health of the battery?
I had a test drive of about 25 km yesterday and the charge went down from 99% to 82%. The drive was mix of autobahn and city roads (125 kmph for 8-10 km, 70-80 kmph for 10-12 km and <50kmph for ~ 5KM). Rough calculation would result in a range of ~130 km (~ 20% for 25-27 KM and (25-27)*5=125-135 km for 100%). However, on the trip meter a consumption number of ~ 6KWh/100 Km was shown, accordingly i should have got ~200 km of range with 12.4 KWh battery. Should I conclude that there is a degradation of the battery here or am I missing something? Perhaps, the consumption number is some kind of a dynamic thing that depends on the drving style extrapolation and this simple calculation is not appropriate?
Thanks

Hello experts,
Greetings from Germany. I am a new member here and just getting started to electrify my transportation fleet 😀. I would like to take advise in buying a used zero s from 2014. It’s been owned by only one owner and surprisingly is driven only for ~4000 km. Is it worth buying for 8000 Euros. It has 12.4 KWh monolith. My main concern is what is the life of the monolith battery, not in terms of km but in terms of real time? It’s built 8 years ago but obviously very few charge cycles on it, ~25. Price seems to be reasonable, but I am worried that I might end up shelling my pocket if the battery breaks down in a couple of months as there are no warranties anymore.
Any suggestions and sharing of your experience will be of great help for me to make a decision.
Thanks in advance
