Looking to sell my Zero 10 scooter, which is a well-regarded e-scooter with high power (1000w), excellent for hill climbing, full suspension, decent range, foldable stem etc. 

 

In good condition; some flex from the base of the stem, but I haven't found this to be an issue. Has only done a bit over 800km (see photo).

 

Has after-market metal-bodied indicators on the handlebars (just tap the end to turn on/off). One of the switches no longer has a definitive 'click' but otherwise it works fine. See https://cycl.bike/products/winglights360-mag

 

Comes with the 3-pin charger and a set of spare tyres (99% sure but would need to confirm this).

 

Note: photos show it with a phone bracket, but I'll be keeping this.

 

Specs include:

 

  • 1000W (1600W peak) motor
  • Front and rear disc brakes for effective stopping power
  • Full-sized 10-inch pneumatic wheels offer great ride comfort, traction and rolling efficiency for long rides
  • Built-in headlight and deck light
  • Collapsible handle grips and foldable stem for transporting
  • Clear and easy-to-read LCD display
  • Generous deck space for comfortable riding
  • Twin rear shock absorbers for smooth riding, rear deck lights are built-in (rear lights flash when under braking)

More details at https://freedpev.co.nz/products/zero-10 (which is where I purchased the scooter from)

 

Pick-up is preferred (from central Palmerston North), or I would be ok delivering to an address in Manawatu/Whanganui or between PN and Wellington for an appropriate charge. I don't believe I have the original box, but could look to package it appropriately and send it at the buyer's expense/risk. 

 

Retail price new over $2k; GZ member price $850; will be placing on TM this Saturday, likely with a higher reserve, if not sold prior.

Awesome scooter by the looks of it. Are the parts easy to get like tyres?

Yeah, sure is a bundle of fun to ride; I was one of the first riders of a fast scooter in my city so got used to having to cope with lots of stares and comments, as well as some deliberately a-hole behaviour by some drivers, but now they're much more common. 

 

The place I bought the scooter from sells a range of parts including tyres, inner tubes, controller etc (see https://freedpev.co.nz/collections/parts?filter.p.vendor=Zero&filter.v.price.gte=0&filter.v.price.lte=199). I imagine many parts can also be bought more cheaply from alternative stores or sites like Ali Express, though.

 

Also, as mentioned I'm 99% sure it came with a second set of tyres so they'll go to whoever buys this...

I have hardly used it for the last 12 months or so, so couldn't give you a categorical answer other than it seems to be holding up fine - I imagine 800km on a scooter like this is representative of pretty light usage.

 

I never had any issues with it for my commute to work - with a distance of 7km return I got a few days between charges (noting I'm not exactly light as a feather plus travelled most of the trip at or close to full speed (between say 35-40kmh).

Looking at the link you sent where you bought it, the price is $1450. Did you actually pay $2K for it?

Sorry for the confusion - I accidentally put the 'I bought from this retailer' next to the wrong link! (Now fixed.) The $1450 was USD from a Singapore-based site. 

 

The correct link for the exact product from the same retailer as I bought my scooter from in NZ (Akld based) is https://freedpev.co.nz/products/zero-10, where you can see they have it listed for $2200:

We have the Zero 8 model by the same brand, and the auckland based distributor we got it from has basically everything you need for repairs.

I was very keen but had objections from the family :-(  So I guess I will have to get my kicks from public scooters

Despite a decent amount of interest, no takers yet on this scooter; I’ve just re-listed it on TM (link below), but if feasible to withdraw I’ll take $750 from someone here on GZ.

 

As per the listing, happy to drop it off locally (within Manawatu/Whanganui) or between PN and Wellington for a small charge (say no more than $20).
