Zero Motorcycles Fx
The Zero Motorcycles Fx has a top speed of 137 km/h, produces 46 hp and weighs 132 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.8/10.
De Zero FX werd in 2012 geïntroduceerd als een lichtgewicht elektrische dual-sport-motorfiets, ontworpen voor zowel woon-werkverkeer in de stad als voor off-road rijden. Het had een modulair batterijsysteem en was opmerkelijk omdat het een van de eerste praktische elektrische dual-sportfietsen was die voor consumenten beschikbaar waren. In de loop der jaren kreeg hij belangrijke updates, waaronder de Z-Force-motor en het verwisselbare PowerPack-batterijsysteem, waardoor het een referentie werd in het segment van elektrische motorfietsen.

Wat kopers moeten weten
Battery Longevity Matters
The Z-Force lithium battery is rated for over 10 years or 3 million charge cycles, but used buyers should check total charge cycles and battery health via the Zero app before purchasing.
Nearly Zero Maintenance
The FX has no oil changes, no chain (belt drive), and minimal brake wear due to regenerative braking, making long-term ownership costs significantly lower than comparable gas bikes.
Steep Depreciation Curve
Zero FX models depreciate sharply in the first 2-3 years, meaning used buyers can find strong deals, but resale value continues to drop as newer models with larger battery options enter the market.
Beoordeling van gebruikte kopers
"Best urban electric used buy if battery health checks out."
$4,500-$9,000 usedThe Zero FX is genuinely one of the more interesting used buys in the sub-$8k bracket right now. It's a proper supermoto-style machine — light, flickable, and that electric torque delivery makes town riding feel almost telepathic. Older pre-2019 models had smaller battery packs (2.8-6.5kWh depending on spec), so range anxiety is real if you're expecting more than 40-50 miles of mixed riding. Always check the battery state of health before handing over cash — Zero's app and dealer network can pull degradation data, and anything below 85% is a negotiating chip or a walk-away moment. The ZF7.2 models from 2019 onwards are the sweet spot used. Suspension is basic but sorted, brakes are competent, and the maintenance bill compared to a petrol equivalent is genuinely laughable. Watch for frame corrosion on bikes that've seen salty winters, and check the charging port carefully — those connectors take abuse. Parts availability has improved massively, and Zero's dealer support is solid for an EV brand.
