Zero 10X electric vehicle

Description

The Zero 10X is a dual-hub-motor electric scooter built around a 60V battery (also sold in 52V variants) and wide 10-inch pneumatic tires. It pairs two 1000W motors with dual hydraulic disc brakes and front-and-rear spring suspension, targeting riders who want a 60+ km/h top speed without stepping up to a flagship machine. For several years it was one of the most widely reviewed and modified scooters in its class, frequently praised for its performance and upgradeability. Its main trade-offs are a heavy steel-heavy build, slow charge times, and no water-resistance rating. It is a capable but ageing platform that has since been outpaced by newer mid-tier rivals.

Highlights

  • Dual 1000W hub motors (around 1600W peak combined)
  • 60V 21Ah LG battery in the flagship configuration (also sold as 52V 18Ah / 23Ah)
  • Top speed of roughly 65 km/h
  • Dual hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm rotors
  • Front and rear spring suspension on 10-inch pneumatic tires
  • Popular, heavily documented platform with a large aftermarket

Model history

The Zero 10X is produced by Zero, a brand of electric scooters distributed internationally (including via Falcon PEV in Singapore) and sold widely across Europe and North America. It rose to prominence around 2019-2021 as a landmark entry-level dual-motor performance scooter, becoming a default recommendation for riders moving up to dual-motor power. By the mid-2020s it was increasingly framed by reviewers as a model past its prime, with newer competitors offering better build quality and similar specifications.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • Strong dual-motor acceleration and a high top speed for an entry-level performance scooter
  • Wide 10-inch pneumatic tires plus dual suspension give a comfortable, stable ride
  • Dual hydraulic disc brakes provide consistent stopping power
  • Large enthusiast community and aftermarket for upgrades and repairs
  • Multiple battery configurations let buyers trade speed for range

Cons

  • Heavy at roughly 34 kg, making it awkward to carry and fold-and-stow
  • Slow charging, typically 10-12 hours with the standard charger
  • No official IP rating, so it is not rated for wet-weather riding
  • Top speed exceeds the legal limit for shared paths in most jurisdictions
  • Steel-heavy build and ageing design now undercut by newer mid-tier rivals

Verdict

The Zero 10X earned its reputation as an accessible, no-frills dual-motor performance scooter with genuine speed, comfort, and a deep upgrade ecosystem. Its weight, slow charging, and lack of weather sealing are real drawbacks, and newer models now match it on specs, but it remains a historically significant benchmark in the mid-tier class.

What reviewers say

  • Upgradeable on- and off-road beast with exceptional range and top speed; the main drawback is that quality metal parts are steel and heavy.
