    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.

    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 :)

      @@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. :-)

    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)

    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.

      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

      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!

    • @danimalthefirst
      @danimalthefirst 4 роки тому

      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.
