Buy Sell Trade / 2014 Zero FX 5.7 parting out - SOLD everything
« on: December 24, 2019, 05:00:18 AM »
Howdy,
Was planning on an aircraft (Earthstar Gull) conversion project with my son, but a plan is just a list of things that don't happen.

Motor, batteries, controller, charger wiring harness, forks, swing arm, shock intact. Head tube is nicely cracked, so unless you're handy with some zip ties the frame is useless. The plastic is faded and a bit beaten up. The grip throttle has been appropriated for another project as have the lights, but I have brand new set of lights if you're interested. Otherwise it's all there. I think I'm going to keep the wheels for my Zero FXS.

Batteries work great with no error codes. I can post a of video of them running my FXS.

Bike was used for a university engineering project. Someone got careless in sport mode...

Naturally I'd prefer to get rid of the whole thing but I could be coerced into parting it incrementally. If you'd like more info or some legible photos of something specific, let me know. Email works best. The bike is in Charlotte, NC.

As for prices? Not really sure how to do this, but I'll give it a try.
Batteries $1200 obo?
Motor $350 obo
Controller $150 obo
Charger $150 obo
Other stuff, make a reasonable offer.

Or just buy the whole thing for $1500 (obo)

Update 1/4/2020 - Deposit taken for whole bike. Thank you everyone for looking.

Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / does anyone rebuild zero batteries?
« on: March 27, 2019, 07:33:12 AM »
hi everyone,
new member here. north carolina resident. seems like an active and engaging community. lots of shared knowledge. hope i can give back a little.
i have a 2016 fxs. i'm installing spoked wheels using fx hubs and a husqvarna 701 like headlight. then a paint job. promise to share.

however, first thing's first. i took a spill a while back. rode the bike for six months with no issues but then one of the batteries died. zero say i'm out of warranty because of the spill, fair enough. but they want $2800 for a replacement. #nope

i have a volt and my oldest has a prius. done the battery rebuild thing but not on this scale. what's inside the casing on a zero battery? is it just an array of 18650's? i can probably figure out how to find an unbalanced cell or bad connection myself. alternatively is there someone with experience offering this as a service?
