Buy Sell Trade / SOLD=====2014 ZERO FX w/two sets of wheels
« on: July 23, 2022, 05:25:04 AM »
SOLD to for asking price to first person to look at it
2014 ZERO FX, originally sold in NJ and was one of the first two FX's to be converted to supermoto by Hollywood Electrics. The bike was converted when new and has not been ridden with the stock dual sport wheels and tires.
Mileage is 2601. I am the third owner. The batteries, two 2.8 kWh lithium ion units for a total 5.7kWh, have been meticulously maintained by every owner, with correct cold weather storage and balancing when required. As seen in the picture below the batteries charge to 100%, there is no obvious degradation of battery charging or capacity.
Bike is in very good condition, a few powdercoat chips and a torn grip end are the only blems.
Included with the sale are the complete second set of dual sport rims that have tires mounted, brakes disks mounted, and the rear has the drive pulley mounted. There are two LED driving lights mounted to the handlebars which the PO used as he rode at night and there are two power outlets wired in and tucked up under the right side of the shroud that were used by the PO for cold weather gear. Also included is a hard copy of the owners manual as well as a ZERO branded 'parking brake' which is basically a clamp that holds the front brake lever on.
I have owned dozens of supermotos, including very high end models (TM Black Dream, Husky NOX) and the ZERO is equally as fun to ride as any of them. You see it all the time about the electric bikes, how much fun to ride they are, and I will confirm that! Ultra quiet, startling acceleration and torque, and the ZERO has some of the best brakes of any bike I've ridden.
Title is a clean, and clear NYS street legal title in my name.
Bike is located in the Finger Lakes region of NY, zip here is 14882.
Price is $5500.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2012 and older / Re: How can you be sure of the year of the Zero?
« on: August 31, 2012, 03:49:31 AM »If you can get the VIN - the 10th position is the year. Zero has "X" as 2008 and "Z" as 2009. "A" is 2010.
It's an 'A', hallelujah! Thanks everybody for the feedback, so very helpful.
Now, can the '10 be fitted with the '11 bodywork?

Apologies for a seemingly tedious subject but....Looking at a Zero for sale a few states away from a dealer, but not a Zero dealer. He's acknowledged that he's not very familiar with "them 'lectric cycles".
He has the bike, an S, advertised as an '09 on his website and as a '10 on a classifieds ad site. In my recent rush to get to know the brand I understand that there are some fairly significant upgrades made from '09 to '10 and that, to me, the '10 is a much more desirable and refined machine than the '09. Basically I think I'd pass on an '09, but not on a '10.
Are there obvious cosmetic visual differences between the two years that makes it apparent which year the bike may be. The bike I'm looking at is all white, no color stripes, but has the large headlight and the cooling hose running around by the rear shock. Are the headlight and cooling hose indicators that it would be a '10? Pictures compared of the two years online indicate different headlights and no cooling hose on the '09. Is that correct?
Then I get distracted (squirrel!) by the fact the bike is completely white and I've not seen pictures or video of any other '10's that didn't have the colored body panels...
As long as you've read this far, humor me with one more question please. I really like the cosmetics of the '11's compared to the '10's and earlier. The frame looks to be the same from '10 to '11. Would it be possible to put '11 bodywork and fenders on a '10 to upgrade it to the more current look? If so, anyone who has done that and could give me an idea of what amount of money it might take to do so?
As always, many thanks for enlightenment for this poor 'e-bike wannabee newb.

Been interesting researching 'used' Zero's while awaiting for the planets to align for my purchase. While all 'motorsports' vehicles depreciate fairly quickly it sure seems like 'electrosports' vehicles depreciate even more so. As a long time motorcyclist with over 75 bikes that have come and gone I fully accept that, except on few. occasions a loss when selling is part of the passion.
The two candidates are a 2010 Zero S with 715 miles for $3500, or a 2011 Zero S demo, 1500 miles, with full two year warranty for $6250. A Zero will be my 7th current bike but first electric, to be used totally for fun and commuting to work and the gym, etc. No highway.
Opinions needed: Is the '11 that much better a bike than the '10 to justify the larger expense? I certainly appreciate the cosmetics of the '11 over the '10, but for almost three grand I can bend a bit as well as do some cosmetic personalization. But if the bike is significantly 'worse' than the '11 in range, power and maintenance respects I fear it'd not be worth buying it to just save a few scheckles.
So, in a nutshell" '10 or '11 and why?
Thanks so much for any input, I appreciate it!

Thank you ed5000 and promototech as this is the kind of input I'm looking for.
My riding would be primarily pleasure and/or short commuting. I'm a big fan of back country roads and not so much for traffic heavy areas and tend to ride on paved roads that don't see much traffic. My biggest fear with a Zero on these roads is probably the potential for an animal collision. Just this AM, on my way to the gym, I had a mother deer and her two fawns just stand on the side of the road and stare as I went by, and I was riding a fairly abrasive two stroke! Perhaps they wouldn't notice me at all on a Zero.....
Good to hear Zero Corporate seems to be willing to help the dealership challenged, that eases my concerns.
Much appreciation for taking the time to answer, I'm all ears....good or bad.

The machine is a 'new' 2011 Zero S demo that has 1500 miles on it but would be sold with a full two year warranty. I would buy the bike from out of state and have it shipped to me. The nearest Zero dealers to me are a minimum of FOUR hours away, with the nearest actually being in a different country (Oh, Canada...)
I've owned dozens of bikes and been fascinated with the Zero's for a few years and am in a place to consider buying a reasonably priced model (which means not new...). I'm very mechanically adept with 'traditional' motorized vehicles but have no electric vehicle specific experience. I'm not intimidated by electrics and enjoy learning new things.
I'm wondering if owning a Zero with no dealer in reasonable distance is a wise thing to do. I've scoured the various forums and it seems like the newer models have needed some tweaking that's normally done by dealers. I'm not willing to drive 500 miles round trip to a dealer for such things. That would make the machine unfeasible for me.
In your opinion would it be wise for me to purchase a Zero knowing what I've described. Does the manufacturer deal with owners in a one on one fashion if there is no 'local' dealer?
Thanks so much for any and all input. I appreciate any pearls of wisdom that current owners may have to offer.
