Bump. Copying my text from Craig's...
ZEV LRC 10 electric maxi scooter 10kW bat ~70mph ~100Mi - $2500 (sunnyvale)
2013 ZEV
VIN: 1Z9E99135DM354017
condition: fair
fuel: electric
odometer: 4750
paint color: black
title status: clean
Priced to sell, selling because I barely use it these days as I mostly cycle everywhere, hope for it to find a new good home.
Selling an early model of this scooter (mine is called LRC-10) - https://www.zelectricvehicle.com/LRC
In fair condition with a few modifications. Also selling accessories (only with the bike):
- Helmet Shark Vision-S (M)
- Helmet Shark Race-R (S)
- Child motorcycle seat
- Child motorcycle helmet
- High quality cover
- 2 extra tires (unused)
The scooter tops at ~70mph, comfortable speed (good acceleration up to) is ~45-50mph. Motor has "8000W" labeled on it, manufacturer claims 10kW, who knows. Batteries are 10kW.
Range is around 100 miles of non-highway riding (under ~40mph). Highway range (at ~65mph) probably ~50 miles.
Charger is 102V(manufacturer "overclocked") - 16A, 110V plug with protection. I usually charge overnight, can imagine a full charge ~ 8-9 hours. I don't recommend going low on charge though, so I usually charge when below half or so, i.e. after ~50 miles.
Has new LED beams which are great, also replaced side stand spring. Has heated muffs installed on it (not too useful in CA but protect against wind and rain at least), phone holder. Seat has high quality vinyl leather on it (aftermarket).
Some problems (nothing critical) - some body damage (mostly some clips missing / broken) due to several reassemblies; squeaking cheap brake pads (easy to replace though), suspension is meh.
Any questions welcome here or send to

UPD: Sold. Thanks!
Hi all,
I want to let my scooter go, looking for buyers. It still works, around 5k miles on it, can do ~ 100 miles on a charge in city and maybe 50-60 on highway speeds (maxes out at ~72mph). Priced to sell. Color is black.

Sorry to cross-post, will there be a normal 110V plug at Zero? I've no other options with my charger (can charge at 220 if someone has an 110-220 plug adapter).

Hey folks, is the event dead? I've got my ZEV in Sunnyvale and curious to see other electric 2/3 wheelers, and maybe meet some good people! Let me know if there's still any event like this going.

« on: April 01, 2017, 05:43:46 AM »
Another ZEV owner here, LRC-10 (the author of the older aforementioned post).
I'd say everything noted above is more or less valid, but the claims they do on their website are also valid or close to that.
The biggest problem I find in ZEV is it's production quality - including weather protection, body fit, suspension.
But it will most likely drive you their claimed range if you drive at moderate speeds on a flat surface during summer with light winds. In worst conditions or with bad usage habits it's normal to expect 50% or less but that's the same with all other EVs.
I really like the giant compartment under the seat, and if I could go back in time I'd probably still buy a ZEV - there's just no competition in their price range within electric maxi-scooters - BMW is quite more expensive and has worse performance. But it's build quality *may" be better.
I managed to improve my ZEV's weather protection by covering all the internals (I took the body apart to do that) with a plastic tarp-thing.
Bottom line - if you're enthusiastic, do not care about good finish and quality of details but want to enjoy the range ZEV provides (and 3-wheeled factor in the case of T15), and ready to fix some design flaws - ZEV might be a reasonable choice. Esp. if you manage to get some discount from their listed price. If you want a well-made and finished product - avoid.

Will hopefully visit this event in October or November if it's still held and if all goes according to the plan in which I get myself and my ZEV LRC 10 to Bay Area. Looking forward

General Discussion / 250km day trip on a ZEV LRC
« on: August 05, 2016, 01:20:12 AM »
Hi folks,
Just wanted to share my recent experience - I decided to go to another city to visit my wife and back with her in 1 day on my ZEV LRC 10 (10kw batteries, 10kw controller/motor), and it worked out pretty well! This is my longest one day distance covered on a bike so far, and as a driver in general, since this scooter is my first motorized vehicle haha. One way is around 125 km, so there and back is ~250 km, meaning I had to charge during the day. I've put the charger and a 20 m cable into the rear top box, and I had a second helmet, a large scooter cover and a backpack in the underseat compartment - had no issues finding space for that stuff. On my way there I was riding alone but on my way back I had a passenger and 2 bags of various stuff in the underseat. It was a beautiful sunset that day, I've never seen the sun so red and low on the horizon before. Sadly I didn't stop to take a photo because I was on a part of the highway where stops were not allowed. I did not ride fast since I was not exactly confident whether I'd make it or not - took a bit over 2 hours each way. I specifically kept my speed no higher than 80 km/h to avoid excessive police attention due to the absence of a license plate (which I am unable to get in my country - epic fail. Luckily I'm relocating soon, taking the bike with me!).
Been riding this bike for 3 years now, but not too much - around 5700km covered so far. I started electric and I don't consider ICE for any future investments, electric is the future. Cheers everyone

General Discussion / Re: Crazy Lane Splitters
« on: May 24, 2016, 10:48:28 AM »
In Moscow (Russia) I usually work my way between lanes at up to 45km/h (27 mph), which is around max of the "1st gear" on my ZEV LRC 10. And even then I build this speed only when cars leave a really wide path (can happen between the leftmost lane and the next). Sometimes I join a chain of bikers, but if they go above 45 then I keep my 45 and do not rush. I think chaining is the safest way to move between lanes, as long as the head is not too fast and does not zigzag between lanes (I hope you understand what I mean). Another "advantage" of chaining is that many bikers would "roar" their engines to ask car drivers to move a bit, while I only have a loud horn which is not very nice to use in traffic 
If I'm alone or I'm leading I usually just wait if the path is too tight. I guess this makes me a bad lead, huh?

« on: December 26, 2015, 04:32:19 PM »
I've been riding ZEV LRC 10 for 2 years now, though only 5000km covered due to reasons not related to the bike.
You can read my review and a bit of discussion here http://electricmotorcycleforum.com/boards/index.php?topic=4572.0.
To summarize it - the bike works pretty well, but the build quality is quite average or below, ZEROs for example look way more rigid and polished. Battery indicator is a digital voltage meter - super non-linear and takes time and practice to properly evaluate to "charge left" or "distance left". Bike initially was badly weather-protected in terms of batteries, not sure it this has significantly improved now but I remember they have recently removed the front vent which was a part of the issue. I have personally worked around this by disassembling the body and covering all the batteries with a plastic fabric. Batteries do not heat much, at least I never noticed. Warranty has been very good so far, every part which broke has been replaced for no charge. I had issues with the import process which are related specifically to my country. Charger is external and bulky, ~5kg, though it fits in the giant underseat compartment (which fits two integral helmets, a very nice feature).
All in all - good value for money, probably cannot get anything characteristically better or even close as good for that price (i'm talking about e-scooters), but not a premium product, so those who expect quality of Yamaha or BMW maxi-scooters will most likely be disappointed. I'd call it a product for eco-geeks with some money, like I'd call myself.
