Zero Fxs

The Zero Fxs has a top speed of 137 km/h, produces 46 hp (34 kW) — note: varies slightly by model year and weighs 132 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Die Zero FXS wurde etwa 2016 von Zero Motorcycles als Variante der FX-Plattform im Supermoto-Stil eingeführt, die für den städtischen Pendelverkehr und den leichten Einsatz im Gelände konzipiert wurde. Es verfügt über einen leichten Aluminiumrahmen, für den Straßenverkehr zugelassene Supermoto-Reifen und den Z-Force-Motor von Zero, was es zu einem wendigen Citybike mit Offroad-DNA macht. Es wurde bekannt für seine Kombination aus geringem Gewicht, sofortigem elektrischem Drehmoment und Vielseitigkeit und sprach Stadtfahrer an, die ein praktisches und dennoch aufregendes Elektromotorrad suchen.

Was Käufer wissen sollten

🔋

Battery Longevity Matters

The Z-Force lithium battery is rated for hundreds of charge cycles but can degrade faster with frequent DC fast charging. Always check battery health percentage on used models — replacement costs can exceed $3,000.

⚙️

Near-Zero Maintenance

With no oil changes, no clutch, and no transmission, annual maintenance costs are dramatically lower than gas bikes. The main recurring service is belt inspection and brake fluid changes.

📉

Steep Depreciation Curve

Zero FXS models depreciate significantly in the first 2-3 years, meaning used buyers get strong value — but reselling later can be challenging as newer, higher-range models flood the market.

Am besten für
Urban commuters wanting fun, low-maintenance daily transport

"Urban riding reimagined, but range limitations demand honest self-assessment first."

$5,000-$9,500 used

The Zero FXS is genuinely brilliant if you ride it for what it is — a lightweight, torquey urban shredder that'll embarrass sportbikes off the line in city traffic. That instant torque delivery is addictive in a way internal combustion simply can't replicate, and the chassis is taut and flickable enough that twisty backroads are actually enjoyable. For commuting and weekend blasts under 50 miles, it's close to perfect. Buying used, you need to do your homework. Battery degradation is the real concern — ask for charge cycle history and check the BMS data through the Zero app before handing over cash. Bikes from 2019 onward with the Z-Force 3.6 pack are significantly more usable. Check charging port condition obsessively; replacements aren't cheap and dealers are thin on the ground outside major cities. Range anxiety is real and not entirely overblown. The 3.6kWh tank version barely scrapes 40 miles spiritedly ridden. Budget the optional Power Tank if you find one without it — your sanity depends on it.
