I got a dead Zero FX XU... Now what to do with it

Battery appears to be dead. Seems the options are using nissan leaf cells and it should be the easiest way to get this thing going?

Step one , get the zero. Drove from Washington D.C. to florida to get it


Going to keep this thread to show my progress if any.

lol, you guys are slightly too far. Im suprised there isn't many electric bikes in this area because you see so many Nissan Leafs and Tesla S all over the place.

ZEV does not have good customer reviews in a variety of places online and the owner does not have a good history in his other business ventures.
If they work for you, great.

I've read the information on the owner and it is concerning. But I didn't ask about that and tried to stick to the bikes and not the operating management prior to the bike business. In the end of the day these guys build electric scooters, and most of the scooters are quite neat. I would love to have taken a scooter and really taken it out and ridden it all day and all week. But that is always tough to do. A company wont let you do that specially for a low numbers youtube channel like me :)

I'm still waiting for 0-60 times.

What is wrong with that? I would imagine after reviewing an electric vehicle there might be interest in that vehicle in several places. And most of all in a place where electric motorcycles is the main subject.

35 to 40 mph wouldn't cut it in the SF Bay Area.  The ZEV would end up as an SUV's hood ornament in short order.  ::)

Yeah it is a very low speed bike. I think if it was capable of 50mph it would be a better buy for at least me. In the d.c. metro area i am able to ride my 110cc scooter around which top speed is 50mph and i am fine in most situations.

I started a little youtube channel with a friend of mine called vehicle hunter. I have been searching for bikes and cars here and there. I wanted to post and ask if any local riders would be interested in having a video made of their bike? I do not own an electric bike, know very little of them. But I think i am very neutral in my view of them. I would like to get together and maybe lookat your bike and you can talk about it. I am in the DC metro area.

Here is the last video we made


If you have a zero, Zev, Brammo id love to check it out and do a video of it. If you have any interest, just post on here or reach me on youtube!

That is a great idea Burton.

I should say that all the vehicles in there were demo vehicles and they do put miles on them.

 I am going to post up another post about local riders who want to show us their vehicles.

I had never heard of this W.V. company, but i am sure most of you guys have heard about it. It's located in Morgantown W.V. and run by only a handful of guys. They are doing very well and producing quite a few vehicles. Their bikes are a little different than most i've seen. They use chinese styling to keep the costs down and then design the motors and controllers and swingarms. The motor is located in the hub, so i dont know if that is good or not. But i know most ebikes have it in the hub of the wheels. Their site is zelectricvehicle.com and they have some nice bikes. I wasn't expecting the owner to be so open to us coming and filming. Im linking the youtube video below and an additional video of that 3 wheeled sparrow thing. I can't ever remember the names of the scooters.



This is their sportbike offering. I would have liked to have tested it. He said it can do 90 miles of range with the current battery pack. But they have some scooters with 200 mile range, which is pretty good for commuting and not worrying about range.









This little bugger is very attention getting to say the least. You ride down the road filled with passenger(3 of them) and everyone turns. Which makes me think it's an amazing investment for companies who want to put a car skin on it. And a company in d.c. bought one just for that. Some real estate company.
