Hello, I'm selling my 2016 Zero SR 13.0
+ 25.8k miles
+ 13kwh battery
+ Zero OEM Touring Windscreen
+ Bar Riser 1.5" for a more upright riding position
+ Tail Delete
+ New Michelin tires recently replaced, will last 12k-16k
+ New Drive Belt replaced recently
+ Can do a realistic 100 miles ride of mix 50/50 city/highway.

I bought the yellow Quik-Charger (in pics) which uses a much beefier design that plugs straight to the battery proprietary connector. This charging method have not seen a single incident of the charger going bad.
The OEM onboard charger is not working, this is a known issue with these bikes as the OEM charger was not quality-built. Zero admitted this and has made a redesign but even the new unit are not guaranteed to last.
I want to emphasize that the OEM charger not working is a very common issue with these bikes, most owners experience the 2nd or 3rd OEM charger eventually failing as well. This Quik-Charger will last the life of the bike.

I advise that you do your research on these bikes so you know what you're buying. The bike doesn't require any maintenance besides tires, brakes, and the occasional belt-drive replacement.

The ideal use for this bike is it's relaxing commuting capabilities and short distance joyrides. You won't feel tired going to work on it and it was my primary reason getting it. With the touring windscreen I have on, you will barely feel any wind buffeting on your helmet and chest on the freeway at 80mph. If you ride motorcycles you should know what I mean by that.

I'm working from home a lot more these days so it is better off with someone who needs to use it.
Thank you for looking! You can text me at (7 one 4) six 6 one - 4 three 6 one.

Hello, I'm selling my 2016 Zero SR 13.0, 25.8k miles
+ Located in Southern California - Orange County
+ Replaced with 2017 White Fairings kit (original was red)
+ Zero OEM Sport Windscreen
+ Bar Riser 1.5" for a more upright riding position
+ Tail Delete
+ New Michelin tires recently replaced, will last 12k-16k

The OEM onboard charger is broken, if you hang around this forum you would know this is a well documented issue with these bikes as the OEM charger was not quality-built to deal with overheating problems due to it's compact size. Zero admitted this and has made a redesign but even the new unit are not guaranteed to last. I bought the Quik-Charger (in pics) which uses a much beefier design that plugs straight to the battery proprietary connector. This charging method have not seen a single incident of the charger going bad.

I advise that you do your research on these bikes so you know what you are getting into. The bike doesn't require any maintenance besides tires, brakes, and the occasional belt-drive replacement. I am firm on price, mileage may be high but it runs great. I don't mind keeping it so please don't waste your time negotiating the price down...

Thank you for looking!
Please email me @ jong137@gmail.com if interested

My reply isn't technical or anything but I can share my experience. My OEM charger on my 2016 Zero SR with 23k miles just recently failed as well. I happened to live near the official Zero dealership in Orange, CA. I was going to do a direct battery replacement until I asked the owner of the dealership for his recommendation. He said that the OEM Calex charger has been improved and there has been less failures, but it's still an old design that Zero won't probably spend money on fixing. The charger on the new SR/F is a new design by Zero and they probably worked out the kinks.

With that said, he advised me to buy the Quiq charger for a near zero-fail charging solution. He said they are solid, never seen one fail, the cooling/connections/contacts are beefy and should never experience heat issues. So I went with tge $600 Quiq charger since I just use the bike to go to work. The other solution is the $2,300 charge tank option but that's for someone that likes to ride long distances often.
