Zero Fxe
The Zero Fxe has a top speed of 137 km/h, produces 46 hp (34 kW) – peak power and weighs 133 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.
The Zero FXE was introduced in 2022 as a premium, urban-focused supermoto-style electric motorcycle, building on the success of Zero's FX platform. It features a distinctive neo-retro design with a more refined aesthetic compared to the standard FX, targeting style-conscious city riders. The FXE is notable for its lightweight construction, nippy urban performance, and Zero's ZF7.2 battery system with optional Power Tank expansion.

What Buyers Should Know
Battery Longevity Matters
The ZF7.2 lithium-ion battery is rated for hundreds of charge cycles before noticeable degradation, but buyers should check the battery health report via the Zero app, as replacement costs can exceed $3,000.
Steep Depreciation Curve
Zero motorcycles depreciate aggressively in the first 2-3 years, sometimes losing 30-40% of their value, which actually makes used FXE models an excellent value buy for savvy shoppers.
Near-Zero Maintenance Costs
With no oil changes, no clutch, no transmission fluid, and regenerative braking that reduces brake wear, annual maintenance costs are dramatically lower than comparable gas-powered bikes.
Generations & Specs by Year
Introduced as supermoto-styled urban commuter; 7.2kWh ZF75-10 motor; removable Charge Tank option added 2023.
Used Buyer Review
"A brilliant city weapon that punishes anyone expecting more."
$8,000-$12,500 usedThe FXE is Zero's attempt at making electric cool rather than just practical, and honestly? It mostly works. That Bosch motor punches hard off the line — 78 ft-lbs of torque in a 300-pound package means it'll embarrass sportbikes to 40mph without breaking a sweat. The scrambler-ish styling is genuinely attractive, and the upright ergonomics suit urban riding perfectly. Used examples from 2022 onward are the sweet spot after Zero sorted the software gremlins. Here's the reality check though: range is the elephant in the room. Real-world urban riding gets you 60-70 miles before you're watching the battery gauge like a hawk. Highway speeds destroy that further. The charging situation also matters — budget for a proper Level 2 home charger, because the stock setup is painfully slow. Check the battery health app data obsessively on any used purchase; degraded cells are expensive. For city commuters who wrench occasionally, this is a legitimately compelling buy at the right price. Just don't pretend it's something it isn't — a weekend canyon carver it absolutely is not.
