This is my Review of the Zero 8 after more than 1200km done in 2 months with it!
Reviews of the Zero 8x and 10x will be ready soon!!
Zero has a growing reputation for its range of well-built, powerful scooters giving great value for money.
The Zero 8 is a great entry-level scooter offering great performance and agility. Designed for dry conditions, it features a single rear drum brake and a solid wide rear tire allowing you to drift the rear under braking. Smaller wheels offer greater agility and extra torque giving a truly dynamic ride.

Bella recensione ho un zero8 no brand e a parte i difetti che hai rilevato sono molto soddisfatto!
Cant wait for a proper review on 8X.
Great to see a review form a long time user who has had real lie experience of the Zero 8 ! . Your review has definitely has convinced me to get a Zero 8 for my 6km daily commute back and forth from work. I've always felt a bit guilty firing up the petrol car for such a short trip .By converting to an electric means of transport is my way of doing my bit for our planet :)
How have you found it for comfort for the 6km trip? Especially with the solid rear tire?
@@camn7542 No problems with the 6Km commute back and forth from work, but as I get to go home for lunch each day, it's actually only a 1.5km trip (X 4) at any one time.
Best thing for me, is that I can "park" my Zero* in-store at work, and come my lunch time, no blazing hot car awaits me in the car park. Australian summers can make the inside of a car parked in the sun, feel like an oven hot enough to cook a roast dinner in! . Since having my Zero8 , that's no longer a concern for me.
It's also actually quicker now to get from home to work and work to home, then taking my car back and forth. So for me, the Zero8 is a perfect solution for my daily work commute. :-)
@@seanb1081 Thank you very much for the detailed reply :))
Thank you so much for this review, I was looking to buy it from a second hand. Very nice scooter, good looking and it's the best price to quality choice...
Have you noticed when you turn on the power your voltage increase by .9 on the meter. now i wonder if this was a defect or an update feature
2:01 sec check it. and try for your self
How many flat did you get, also after 1200km what's the condition of the rear tyre, and what's the range now compared to when it was brand new. My horizon which is same as this, I have done 140km so far. Thanks
How to change the reenergy brake system
I have the Zero9 and it’s amazing. Top speed for me is 50kmph. It has dual brakes , dual suspension and 600w motor. It’s great
Yes it is!
I'm guessing you ride it on the road and not on pedestrian walkways right?
Cause going that fast would be illegal on pavements.
TheRival Gaming I’m in the bike lane or streets
How did you ménage to get more solid and fix that losing part ?
How do you turn lights on? I cant find switch for lighta
Thanks for the video! I was wondering, do the handlebars have holes in the side which you could attach a bike mirror into? Thanks again.
Yes you can
Would you rather the zero 8 or wide wheel pro?
Note to all zero 8 owners. I just found this out. I thought 5 was Max power.
P12 setting goes:
1 - ludicrous mode instant acceleration
2 - gentle acceleration
3 - moderate acceleration
4 - zippy acceleration
5 - insane mode (with lag)
so mode 1 is faster than 5 ?
@@aragorn318 more torque. The most noticeable effect is the instant response.
@@PhilipChristian Yes, thanks. Much more responsive with less lag indeed.
So 1 > 5 > 4 > 3 > 2?
@@henreebee6561 correct
No wubbling sir ?
aww thats awesome scooter mate.
Yes I love it!
Is there a manual available that describes the different icons on the speedometer?
Yes you can find it online
I bought a Zero 8. At first when I charged it the voltage was 56.0v giving me a top speed of 40km/hr, but after 300km the voltage don't go over 52v so the top speed is now 36km/hr is that normal?? I'm worried because the life time of the battery seems to be decreasing very fast.
It's not, battery might be faulty
My brand new Zero 8 has only ever had a top speed of 38km (here in Australia)
So far only have 250kms on the clock.
It shows 54.8V when fully charged.
Cheap battery which isn't an LG! THAT'S WHY.
I thought the zero scooters where not meant 2 b used in the rain / snow since they dont have an ip grading..
Dopo quanti km si cambia la ruota piena dietro..? Com’é il comfort rispetto ad una ruota a camera d’aria..??? Ciaooo
Sei di treviglio?
Perche sono di antegnate e abitavo a calvenzano. Che mono hai?
That slack you speak of at 4:56 has been annoying the shit out of me and I can’t figure out how to remedy the issue. Anyone with similar experience figure it out?
By the way I’m 600km in
You need to play with the 3 screws at the bottom of the locking system. I have never managed to make it very solid, I then moved to the zero 10 which does not have that problem, or at least much less
Same here, moving the three screws at the bottom make it less shaky but not definitely
I'm a little disappointed by the Zero 8 after 800km. The deck is really fragile as mine is bent a little bit. I'm so afraid of using it now ... So I'm waiting for a repair and I'm thinking how to make it more resistant.
PepereWorld how much do you weigh?
I am 75kg and the deck was totally fine after many km :) for people above 90km I would suggest zero 9 or 10
Wow, that's a lot of km's. I'm surprised that you didn't replace the tires
Yes I know! 😊 No never, they are still in good condition, I reckon they will have to be changed when reaching 2000km
Hei bro. Is possible to change speed? Example 50Km/h?
No
Have you tried the zero 9 ? Would love to know your views which one you suggest with it's features and price difference.
Yes I did, I prefer the zero 10. It is only slightly heavier but it has much more power (1000w vs 600w), more range and double disk brake instead of disk and drum 😊

Come ti trovi con il freno posteriore solo tamburo?
Non é modulabile come freni a disco idraulici ma per frenare frena. Ogni mese circa bisogna aggiustarlo però
Mi ferma proprio questo dall’acquistarlo.
Ho trovato l’ic Q3 che è uno zero9 con motore posteriore ruota piena da 500watt e doppio disco ant/post..
Forse frena meglio di questo zero8.
Hai mica avuto un 365 per poter comparare la frenata?
Consiglio piuttosto zero 9, le ruote piene sono pessime in generale
TopVoltage eh in Italia lo zero9 è illegale però
@@Trevigliese7 c'è una versione 500W che dovrebbe andare bene no?
Can you ride in the rain or do you need to stay away from it?
Small Rain
Which one is better? Zero 8 or ninebot max?
I want to know aswell!
I see that your plastic rear fender broke off too
On the zero 8 yes
Tell us something about the 10 model :)
Will upload a full review next week, done more than 200km on it now so I know more 😊
Got it, sold it. Awesome machine, but too heavy for my commute as i need to lift onto tubes. Locking/folding mechanism not as good as the 8. Power - faster on the roads than most London traffic, and having ridden motorcycles in London for over a decade, I’d class the 10 closer to a motorcycle in terms of power and speed around town. This also then notches it up a few danger levels too. Hope this helps!
Btw only covered 120km on it (the 10) so brief. I tried quite a few, and I’ve now clocked about 2000km on the Zoom Stryder Ex - and that’s my favourite out of all of them. Fast enough (bit faster than standard models) - amazing suspension, Uber durable) Can also jump up and down kerbs easily on this one after practice popping the suspension.
@@danimalthefirst Hey, I am planning to get a Zero 9-10. Any advice?
is this electric scooter water resistant??
Small Rain
Did you ever have any problems with the law because of driving an e-scooter in London?
