I have this listed in a bunch of places, but wanted to list it here for less in hopes it could go to a Zero nerd who would appreciate the work I have put into this bike!

Link to my cycletraders listing for better photos: https://www.cycletrader.com/listing/5039911032

Here's the description from my other listings:

2017 Zero DSR ZF 13.0 with Power Tank and Super Charger. This is the fastest charging Zero on the market; perfect for electric touring or daily commuting. Single owner w/ 3,716 original miles. Purchased new in March 2018. All scheduled maintenance complete including motor commissioning and timing. Ready to ride.

Modifications:

-DigiNow Super Charger v2.5 (3x 3.3 kW) Installed October 2018. Up to 9.9 kW charge rate via dual J1772 connectors. Full charge in about 1.5hrs depending on charging infrastructure, battery temperature, ambient temperature, and configured charge rate. DigiNow is no longer in business and these units are rare and sought after. The aftermarket charging inverters are mounted to the base of the metal enclosure and create an air gap to the battery the stock chargers were known to cook the battery monolith and cause premature cell aging, and this design avoids that. More info: https://zeromanual.com/wiki/Chargers#DigiNow_Super_Charger_V2.5

-Power Tank (3.6 kWh) Installed June 2018. Brings total battery capacity to 16.6 kWh. Range varies with speed, terrain, temperature, and ride mode.

-Madstad Engineering 24" Windscreen, windshield extension and lower buffeting screen. Provides quiet, clean laminar airflow with no buffeting for a 5'11" rider at highway speeds. Madstad is no longer in business and these windshield kits are rare for these bikes

-Touring Seat Significant comfort improvement over the stock seat.

-24L Givi locking Top Box

-Bullet Brake Parking Brake

-3.1A Dual USB-A Charger

-Tesla (NACS) to J1772 Adapter Charge at Tesla destination chargers.

-New Tires Shinko 705 Series dual sport tires installed April 2024 (less than 200 miles on these) Front: 110/80-19 Rear: 130/80-17

Had planned to sell this in summer of 2024 and had a full inspection performed at that time but a loss in the family delayed this sale: all critical fasteners inspected, Drive belt tension inspected and adjusted, 2V systems tested, Throttle values verified in spec. Brakes, pads, rotors, and fluid inspected. Minor cosmetic damage on right foot peg, brake and handlebar from dropping it in a parking lot after getting over-confident practicing low speed maneuvers (See photos for damage) All firmware updates current. This thing is about as kitted out as a zero can get and has been an incredible bike.

The bike shows active codes 20, 32, and 51. These are expected and normal with the aftermarket DigiNow charger and BMS not indicative of any fault.

What You're Getting

16.6 kWh total capacity

Fast L2 charging via dual J1772 (up to 9.9 kW)

3,716 miles on a well-maintained bike

All maintenance current, all firmware current

Touring-ready with windscreen, comfort seat, and top box

Price

$8,300 OBO located in Bend, Oregon. Test drive w/ cash-in-hand only.

the bike is 9 years old, what's the capacity of that battery at about now?  what does a new battery cost?

I'm getting around 85 miles at comfortable highway speeds and in a normal riding posture (Madstad windscreen and deflector helped a lot w/ efficiency.) Way more than this for around town driving.  I could send you over the BMS logs if you would like to take a look.  A conservative guess would be 10-15% battery degradation.  The battery has been well maintained through its life w/ me as the single owner:

-Full cycle at least 4 times throughout the year if not being driven regularly
-Always stored at 60% in a climate controlled garage.  Never stored at high or low charge
-only ever charged to 100% if immediately being driven after charge reached & very rarely discharged below 5-10% unless fully cycling and if so right back on the charger
-Rarely utilized the full 9.9kw 1c charge rate that the double J1772 charger enables (only really needed it when on road trips and would trickle charge ~1.5KW for daily local driving.

#1 thing though is that the diginow supercharger was put on shortly after purchase.  This charger creates a thermal barrier between charging inverters and the battery monolith which is way better for battery health than the oem charger.  The stock charger roasts the battery monolith and increases battery degradation and dendrite formation.


lmk if you have further questions.
