I would strongly advise you not to use the 2012 battery as they were recalled due to the potential to catch fire. Vibration caused wear to the cell pouches allowing in moisture. Newer batteries are set in Epoxy resin to combat this. Many of us would be tempted to create a cheap bike/cart ? but it is not worth the risk.

Advertised on Autotrader for sale in the UK. I am interested to know what you think, I am unsure of its spoked wheels, came up as a DSPZ 11.4 but now has 12.5 battery,saying registered 2016 just wonder how old it could be. I understand battery having been replaced as may have been faulty. If 2015 or newer motor/frame are they a good bike ? Very rare for used Zeros to come up for sale in the UK. They are dearer in the UK than the states. 3500 miles on the clock. Your opinions/ knowledge would be appreciated as I am a potential buyer. Briefly owned a 2012ZF9 before their recall. Saving on a new bike is very good for me as really a commuter bike during the week.

I wish to buy a DS 11kw which is a EU and UK bike with lower power for learner riders who only have a CBT in the UK. The 7.2 listed as 31hp the 14.4 as 59hp. I want to use this as a commute bike so the lighter by 40 kilos 7.2 would have the range I need and gets a storage cubby due to the half size battery. Top speed listed as the same, I think gearing different. Can anyone let me know if they have the same motor/controller/power/performance.

Can any of you tell me if it has taken over the 15 days stated in the recall to obtain your payments. EU Zero told me my payment was processed on the 22nd of May and not got anything yet 21 days later. I would be grateful to hear if you have got your payments or not. Its been too long without a bike now. Many thanks Keith.

I am reluctant to post to much and stir up things again. I had a telephone call from Danny vanderHorst of Zero EU on the evening of the thermal event but have had no contact from Zero USA in all the time since. I know nothing of the offer and am as eager as yourself as I used my bike as my primary means of transport. I had hoped it was to be a cheap means to get around in the rural location I live in. Hopefully someone Stateside gets a letter today and posts on here or facebook. I need to get it sorted ASAP as I need another bike for transport everyday. I fear I will not be able to get another Zero on my limited funds. I eagerly await news.

Put the word out as of 13.15 GMT here in the UK my 2012 ZF9 caught alight whilst I was riding it. Sunny day here I went to shop then all hell broke loose. Please all do not be tempted to ride this was a serious fire almost immediatly. It must have to do with the first sunny day. Please I have contacted Zero can any of you do so also for me.

Terry you keep on downplaying the value of a 2012 Zero, are you linked to the Zero company in some way. I will be realistic in my expectations but this is not a sale situation. This is a company recall of an entire years production due to a major production flaw. I do not know the final figures have been decided yet and feel you have too much of an interest in using your stature in the community to lower our expectations. There are no used Zeros for sale in the UK its a tiny market over here. There is no way I would be selling my 2012 as it is in mint condition not a mark on it, never dropped, immaculate wheels, runs perfectly. I can only have an 11kw Zero in the UK on L plates as I am a new rider on a CBT ( learners permit  sort of thing only allowed 125cc ) I will go again would you trade your dog in for a newer puppy. My 2012 is as powerful a bike as I want just had Givi panniers/ topbox, Puig  screen, 12v supply, new tyres, LED running lights and rear shock 6000 miles it would have lasted me years. We will get what we get but I resent you banging on about how little they are worth. I have copies of other 2012 for sale the day of the recall announcement $7,500 Austin Texas, $6,900 Mountain View, CA, $6,500 Ellenton, FL. The bike you are referring to is not new it has 4175 miles on it is a ZF6 not a ZF9 like mine and was on sale from Ottumwa, IA. Go and tell your buddies back at Zero that was the askig prices of Zero 2012 on the day of the announcement that they cocked up and learned they could not make a safe vehicle. If you want to keep putting down the 2012 models or have a vested interest in doing so at least get your facts right. I am not a farmer but I can smell BS.
