I BOUGHT A WRECKED ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE AND I REGRET IT IMMEDIATELY

EV Channels Review

The reviewer chronicles the immediate regret experienced after purchasing a wrecked electric motorcycle, a Zero S model, from an auction site for $3,200. Despite initial optimism about a quick repair, the extent of the damage quickly became apparent. Key issues include cracked plastics, torn fairings, a broken handlebar, loose brake lever, and a severely misaligned front wheel, potentially requiring new forks. The frame itself is compromised with cracks on both sides, rendering it unrepairable according to the reviewer. While the electric motor and battery appear functional, the extensive structural damage and the scarcity of replacement parts make a conventional repair unfeasible. The reviewer ultimately decides to use the parts for a future project, highlighting the significant challenges and unexpected costs associated with buying a damaged electric motorcycle.
