But is it worth the price tag?<\/p><p>Before I explain, I want to let you in on a little secret. It\u2019s one that you may already be familiar with \u2013 particularly if you\u2019ve read my other scooter reviews and noticed that I haven\u2019t talked all that much about the Zero 9 across the site.<\/p><p>Because the secret is this \u2013 the Zero 9 has a long-lost twin.<\/p><p>Separated at birth, the Zero 9 is \u2013 at least when it comes to frame and materials \u2013 pretty much the same scooter as the Apollo City.<\/p><p>Yep \u2013 both models are made by scooter manufacturers Titan\/Unicool, and, as a result, the 9 and the City sport the same frame. Zero and Apollo then take these frames, kit them out with their battery of choice, and use colors and logos to brand them with the look and feel of their respective product lines.<\/p><p>This little-known (but important) fact is one of the reasons I haven\u2019t featured the Zero 9 across my site so far \u2013 simply because I haven\u2019t, in good faith, been able to recommend the Zero 9 over the Apollo City. Here are the key differences between the two doppelgangers.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-table alignfull is-style-regular\"><table class=\"has-subtle-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Specs<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Zero 9<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Apollo City<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Motor<\/strong><\/td><td>48V 600W<\/td><td>48V 600W<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Top Speed<\/strong><\/td><td>24 mph<\/td><td>25 mph<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Battery<\/strong><\/td><td>48V 13.2Ah LG<\/td><td>48V 13.2Ah Dynavolt<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Range<\/strong><\/td><td>25 Miles<\/td><td>28 Miles<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Load<\/strong><\/td><td>220 lbs<\/td><td>265 lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Weight<\/strong><\/td><td>40 lbs<\/td><td>39 lbs<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Brakes<\/strong><\/td><td>Front Disc\/Rear Drum<\/td><td>Front Disc\/Rear Drum<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Tires<\/strong><\/td><td>8.5 Inch (Air-Filled)<\/td><td>8.5 Inch (Air-Filled)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Water-Resistance Rating<\/strong><\/td><td>None<\/td><td>IP54<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Design<\/strong><\/td><td>Red, White & Black<\/td><td>Blue, White & Black<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Price<\/strong><\/td><td>$1,099<\/td><td>$999<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>As you can see, the Apollo City tops the Zero 9 when it comes to its range and load-bearing capabilities. The City is also slightly lighter, cheaper, and sports a water resistance rating. One major point of contention is the power and longevity of these scooters\u2019 respective batteries.<\/p><p>The City is powered by Dynavolt cells, which are amongst the most cutting edge on the market. However, the Zero 9\u2019s LG cells do tend to slightly outperform their Dynavolt counterparts over time, so \u2013 despite not being able to go as far as the Apollo City on a single charge \u2013 the Zero 9 may have the edge when it comes to the endurance capabilities of its battery\u2019s lifespan. For context, both battery types match each other for performance up until around the 5-year point, and the only time at which there is a prominent change in performance is after 9 years.<\/p><p>The point I\u2019m trying to make here is that when it comes to value for money, the Zero 9 isn\u2019t necessarily the best option. If you like the 9\u2019s specs, <strong>you\u2019re better off opting for the Apollo City<\/strong>, for all the reasons outlined above. Sure, the Zero 9 may take the crown when it comes to battery performance over years of use but in my experience riding scooters, you\u2019ll likely upgrade your scooter for a more advanced model down the line &#8211; just like you upgrade your phone every few years. Plus, by opting for the Apollo City you\u2019ll save some money too.<\/p><p>As we\u2019ll also see in our performance comparisons later in the review, <strong>there are plenty of better similarly-priced models than the Zero 9<\/strong>. If speed and acceleration are your top priorities, you\u2019re better off shelling out for the VSETT 9+ (15.6Ah). If mileage is, on the other hand, your key focus, you\u2019ll be better served with the VSETT 8R.<\/p><p><div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left;

9\u2019s foldable handlebars. I\u2019ll discuss their folding functionality a little further down the page (in the \u2018Folding & Portability\u2019 section), so all you need to know right now is that the sliding screw-type mechanism used is simple, intuitive, and solid.<\/p><p>Aside from folding, the handlebar height is completely adjustable thanks to the telescopic stem. <strong>You can position the handlebar height anywhere between 29 and 39 inches from the deck<\/strong>, and easily adjust it via the quick-release locking lever.<\/p><p>Of course, this cool feature does mean that the Zero 9 runs the risk of stem wobble, as can be the case when a lot of folding or adjustable parts are involved. Indeed, some of my fellow scooter reviewers have highlighted that the handlebars require tightening after every few rides.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display.jpg\" alt=\"Zero 9 QS-S4 Display\" width=\"820\" height=\"586\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-1024x732.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-767x548.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-1536x1098.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-2048x1464.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-210x150.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-100x71.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-490x350.jpg 490w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-788x563.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-qs-s4-display-599x428.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>Elsewhere, the handlebars play host to a pair of hand-operated mechanical brake levers, as well as its QS-S4 display. This device is something I\u2019ll unpack a little later on, and its main purpose is to serve the dual functions of both a finger throttle (for controlling your scooter\u2019s speed and acceleration) and a display screen.<\/p><p>The QS-S4 is where you\u2019ll view your scooter\u2019s speed, battery life, and riding mode, as well as the distance you\u2019ve traveled both on your current trip, and all-time (odometer). There\u2019s even a hidden USB port, which (while I wouldn\u2019t recommend it) can be used to charge your electronic devices.<\/p><p>To finish off the handlebars, the <strong>ergonomically shaped grips are coated in a robust and grippy rubber<\/strong>.

It turns heads with a bold two-tone black and red color palette. <strong>The frame is finished to a good standard<\/strong>, while the exposed, bunched cabling protruding from the top and bottom of the steering column helps keep the aesthetic clean.<\/p><p>Oh, and I love the Zero 9\u2019s lighting setup. With strips of vibrant LED lighting embedded into both sides of the deck and the front of the stem, it illuminates the street vertically and horizontally.<\/p><p>Ultimately, there\u2019s nothing not to like about the look and feel of the frame. The red accents are subtle enough to avoid being overbearing, while the Zero branding \u2013 despite taking a prominent place on the stem \u2013 isn\u2019t as loud as I\u2019ve seen on other scooters. It\u2019s even kind of thrilling how much the red of the Zero 9 contrasts dramatically with the blue branding of its twin, the Apollo City \u2013 furthering the narrative of rivalry between these two (almost identical) models.<\/p><h3>Deck<\/h3><p>Something I appreciate about the Zero 9 is the ample standing room that the deck affords. Measuring up at 19.5 inches long and 7.7 inches wide, it is shaped like a skateboard \u2013 I just wish it was as grippy as one.<\/p><p>The deck is <strong>sparsely coated in a trio of grip tape columns<\/strong>, which, while they may look cool, don\u2019t offer as much traction as decks that are fully coated in a grippy surface. As a general rule, I prefer my decks to be covered entirely in rubber \u2013 it makes them easier to wipe down and provides a uniform grip no matter the placement of your feet.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19112\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck.jpg\" alt=\"Rear of of Zero 9 Deck\" width=\"820\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-788x788.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/rear-of-zero-9-deck-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>Another downside of the deck is that it lacks a kickplate at the rear. Kickplates are small platforms that you can place your back foot on, allowing you to lean into your ride and strike a more aggressive, aerodynamic posture when hitting high speeds. The Zero 9 just has a rear fender, but this is built to protect you from mud splashes, and not as a footrest. If a kickplate is as important to you as it is to me, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/vsett-9-plus-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>VSETT 9+<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/vsett-8r-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>8R<\/strong><\/a> are great alternatives to the Zero 9.<\/p><p>Despite all this, though, the kickplate isn\u2019t a must-have for a scooter like the Zero 9 which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/best-electric-scooters-for-commuting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>primed for commuting<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p><p>One highlight of the deck is that it offers 4 inches of ground clearance, meaning you can feel comfortable while riding without running the risk of bottoming out.<\/p><h3>Wheels<\/h3><p>Big, air-filled tires are king \u2013 so it\u2019s a breath of fresh air that the Zero 9 has them. At 8.5 inches, the tires are big enough to afford you a generous contact patch with the road, which helps when it comes to traction and handling.<\/p><p>Sure, you\u2019ll have to be wary of punctures \u2013 but this is the only reason you\u2019d ever choose to avoid pneumatic tires. They\u2019re superior to their solid counterparts in pretty much every way, but most notably in the added suspension and shock absorptive qualities they offer. This layer of insulation helps safeguard your limbs from the effects of bumps, jolts, and uneven riding surfaces.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire.jpg\" alt=\"Zero 9 Front Tire\" width=\"820\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-788x788.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-front-tire-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>Overall, the size profile and tread of tires make them ideal for navigating city streets. <strong>They strike the perfect balance between being nimble and comfortable<\/strong>.<\/p><p><div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left; width:auto\"><i><\/i><div>\r\n\t\t\t<strong>Further Information:<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters-with-big-wheels\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electric Scooters with Big Wheels & Fat Tires<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p><h3>Build Quality & Durability<\/h3><p>Build quality is always a key factor, but it\u2019s particularly important for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/fastest-electric-scooters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>electric scooters that go faster than 20 mph<\/strong><\/a>.

Not only do the scooter\u2019s handlebars and stem fold, but its stem can be compressed by a whole 10 inches from its full height, helping you to pack it down when preparing it for storage or transportation.<\/p><p>The only real letdown here is the scooter\u2019s lack of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/waterproof-electric-scooters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>water-resistance rating<\/strong><\/a>. Many of the Zero 9\u2019s top competitors \u2013 which include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/vsett-8r-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>VSETT 8R<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/vsett-9-plus-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>9+<\/strong><\/a> models, as well as the Apollo City \u2013 all have water resistance certifications. While I wouldn\u2019t recommend riding any of these scooters in heavy rain, an IP rating does give you that extra peace of mind \u2013 which you certainly don\u2019t get with the Zero 9.<\/p><h3>Weight & Load<\/h3><p><strong>The Zero 9 weighs 40 lbs<\/strong>, which is about what I\u2019d expect given the specs and power on offer. Plus, at under 42 lbs \u2013 my maximum recommended weight for commuters \u2013 the 9 qualifies as an ideal selection for last-mile commutes.

But what makes it even more ideal for traveling riders is its folding functionality, with the Zero 9 folding both in half, as well as sporting collapsible handlebars.<\/p><p>And, <strong>as far as folding mechanisms go, this one\u2019s a doozy<\/strong>. Simply press down the folding lever at the base of the Zero 9\u2019s stem to unlock the scooter\u2019s steering column. From here, simply fold the column up (this works via a pair of deck-mounted hinges), until it locks in place in an upright position.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding.jpg\" alt=\"Zero 9 Folding Mechanism\" width=\"820\" height=\"820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-2048x2048.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-788x788.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folding-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>The Zero 9\u2019s handlebars also fold, via a similarly intuitive method. Simply twist the locking sleeves and then slide them outward to release the grips and fold them inward.<\/p><p>Often, foldable handlebars can fall short of the mark as a result of ineffective locking mechanisms. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/emove-cruiser-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the EMOVE Cruiser<\/strong><\/a> uses spring-loaded tension cuffs instead of locking sleeves that screw into place. This means that the cuffs simply plug over the top of the main handlebar frame and aren\u2019t tightened into place. While this method still keeps the handgrips locked into place (i.e. they don\u2019t collapse inwards while in use), you do tend to experience a little wiggle room which can be unnerving at times. However, this is not an issue with the Zero 9 thanks to its combined tension and screw mechanism. The only thing you have to do is tighten the sleeves every so often since the natural vibrations from riding loosen them over time.<\/p><p>Overall, the foldable handlebars serve to make the Zero 9 portable, meaning you\u2019ll have no issues slotting it into your trunk, or out of sight at your home.<\/p><p>Plus, with a fully adjustable telescopic stem (which I\u2019ll unpack in greater detail in the \u2018Extra Features\u2019 section below), the Zero 9 can shrink to an even more compact size.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19088\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded.jpg\" alt=\"Zero 9 Folded\" width=\"820\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-1536x1055.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-2048x1406.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-218x150.jpg 218w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-100x69.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-510x350.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-788x541.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-folded-599x411.jpg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p><div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left; width:auto\"><i><\/i><div>\r\n\t\t\t<strong>Further Information:<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/folding-electric-scooters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Guide to Foldable Electric Scooters (Lightest & Most Compact)<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p><h3>Assembly<\/h3><p><strong>The Zero 9 arrives fully assembled<\/strong>, though you should take some time to ensure that the various nuts and bolts are sufficiently tight, which you can do with a basic Allen wrench.<\/p><p>Once your Zero 9 is ready for action, you\u2019ll want to make sure that there\u2019s sufficient pressure in the tires, and that it's charged in full before you hit the road.

A pair of decently sized pneumatic tires assist the front and rear suspension, by gobbling up a lot of the jarring impact caused by urban terrain.

The 9+\u2019s pair of 650W motors don\u2019t just offer it a sumptuous 33 mph of speed \u2013 they also empower it with the most blistering acceleration rate of all similarly-priced modes to the Zero 9.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19125\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison.jpg\" alt=\"Zero 9 Speed vs Price Comparison\" width=\"820\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-864x1024.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-768x910.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-1296x1536.jpg 1296w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-1728x2048.jpg 1728w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-127x150.jpg 127w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-100x119.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-295x350.jpg 295w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-788x934.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-speed-vs-price-comparison-600x711.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>For reference, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/vsett-9-plus-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>VSETT 9+<\/strong><\/a> can hit 15 mph in just 2.7 seconds \u2013 a whole 36% faster than the Zero 9\u2019s 4.2 seconds.<\/p><p>And it\u2019s not just on the metrics of speed and acceleration that the VSETT 9+ beats the Zero 9.

Applying a 5 lbs weight range on either side of the 9\u2019s 40 lbs \u2013 which gives us a bracket of 35 to 45 lbs \u2013 turns up another 22 models in this category. So where does the Zero 9 sit?<\/p><p>Unlike its underwhelming performance in our speed vs price analysis, the Zero 9 recovers for a strong showing here, <strong>placing an impressive joint third<\/strong>.

With a top speed of 37 mph (that\u2019s a whole 48% faster than the Zero 9), the Spider is a great choice for speed fiends. However, at $2,450, it\u2019s well over double the price of the Zero 9 \u2013 so it definitely won\u2019t be for everyone.<\/p><p>Ranking joint second are the Speedway Leger and EVOLV Tour 2.0. This brings us to the four scooters closing out our podium positions in third. Here, the Zero 9 shares the spoils with the Apollo City and pair of Horizon scooters, the 13 and 10.4 \u2013 so can they be separated?<\/p><p>Stepping back from the rankings and looking at all the scooters in the list beyond their stats alone, it\u2019s the Apollo City that emerges as my top choice. Not only is it an extremely popular scooter, but \u2013 as I mentioned earlier \u2013 it\u2019s almost identical to the Zero 9 in every way. Not to mention that the City flaunts a longer range, superior load-bearing capacity, cheaper price point, and an IP54 water-resistance rating \u2013 so I know which one I\u2019d pick.<\/p><h4>Acceleration<\/h4><p>Sporting just a single motor alone, the Zero 9 was never going to have the most rapid acceleration rate.

With a rapid acceleration rate of 2.7 seconds (that\u2019s 36% faster than the 9), it leaves the likes of the Zero 9, the Apollo City, and the VSETT 9+\u2019s little brother \u2013 the 8R \u2013 in the dust.<\/p><p>That\u2019s not to say that the VSETT 9+ is without its drawbacks. Unlike the Zero 9, it lacks a telescopic stem, which makes it less portable. It also weighs considerably more (a whole 11 lbs more, to be exact), and with a lack of mood deck lighting, it isn\u2019t quite as easy on the eye as the Zero 9 at night, either.<\/p><p>Just pipping the Zero 9 to that 15 mph mark is the Apollo City, which \u2013 despite being cut from the same cloth as the 9 \u2013 again proves that it\u2019s the superior of the two separated-at-birth twins.

It\u2019s also not adjustable, so you can\u2019t customize it to fit the nature of the ground you\u2019re traversing. However, this shouldn\u2019t be too much of a turn-off if you have your eyes set on the Zero 9 \u2013 particularly if you only plan to ride on the predictable surfaces of the city.<\/p><p>Fortunately, the Zero 9 backs up its hard-working suspension with a pair of pneumatic tires. Filled with air, rather than a solid rubber or foam, these offer a first layer of defense against the jarring impacts of harsher roads.<\/p><p><div class=\"mb30 wpsm_box gray_type nonefloat_box\" style=\"text-align:left; width:auto\"><i><\/i><div>\r\n\t\t\t<strong>Further Information:<\/strong><\/p><p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters-with-suspension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Electric Scooters With Suspension: Buttery-Smooth Rides<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/p><h3>Braking<\/h3><p>The Zero 9 is equipped with a front disc complemented by a rear drum. These cable-actuated brakes (which, thanks to a pair of brake levers on the scooter\u2019s handlebars, are always within grabbing distance) enable the Zero 9 to <strong>come to a complete stop in 3.3 meters from 15 mph \u2013 which is very good<\/strong>.<\/p><p>It\u2019s worth noting that a little over half (57%) of the scooters in the Zero 9\u2019s pricing range have dual mechanical brakes \u2013 the Zero 9 being one of them. The 9 is also one of only three scooters to utilize two types of brakes. While the Zero 9 and Apollo City both sport disc and drum brakes, the only other scooter to take this \u2018mix and match\u2019 approach is the INOKIM Quick 3, which pairs a front v-brake with a rear disc brake.<\/p><p>While this \u2018pick and mix\u2019 strategy may not necessarily seem the most intuitive, there are plenty of benefits to it. Drum brakes, for instance, are lower maintenance than the disc variety \u2013 so having a mix and match setup can help limit the amount of time you spend attending to your braking system.<\/p><p>The Zero 9 also comes with a regenerative braking system to back up its responsive drum-and-disc combo. This helps feed otherwise wasted kinetic energy from braking into the battery, prolonging your maximum range. If you don\u2019t like how it feels, you can either turn it off or customize its strength via the scooter\u2019s QS-S4 display.<\/p><p>Ultimately, though, there\u2019s not enough of a distance between the braking performance of the Zero 9 and the scooters I recommend as alternatives to make this facet of the review a deal-breaker.<\/p><h3>Charge Time<\/h3><p>The Zero 9 takes <strong>6-8 hours<\/strong> to reach a full charge when you use the single charger that comes in the box. However, you can cut that time in half by purchasing the fast charger.<\/p><h2>Extra Features<\/h2><h3>QS-S4 Throttle Display for Customized Performance Configuration<\/h3><p>First things first, let\u2019s unpack the Zero 9\u2019s thinking cap \u2013 that is, its QS-S4 display.<\/p><p>Playing the dual role of the finger throttle and display screen, the QS-S4 doesn\u2019t just serve as the trigger you\u2019ll use to control your speed and acceleration, it\u2019s what you\u2019ll use for real-time insights into your scooter\u2019s health and current status.<\/p><p>From the QS-S4 screen \u2013 which is backlit so you can see it while riding at night and in direct sunlight \u2013 you can view your scooter\u2019s speed, riding mode, and battery life. You can also view the mileage you\u2019ve clocked up on your current trip, as well as the distance you\u2019ve traveled in total.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19084\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display.jpg\" alt=\"Zero 9 Backlit QS-S4 Display\" width=\"820\" height=\"774\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display.jpg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-1024x967.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-767x724.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-1536x1450.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-2048x1933.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-159x150.jpg 159w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-100x94.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-371x350.jpg 371w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-788x743.jpg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/zero-9-backlit-qs-s4-display-600x566.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>One of the things I love about a new scooter purchase is deep-diving into all the less obvious features it has to offer. And, if you do too, you\u2019ll love tinkering with the QS-S4\u2019s wide array of P-settings. They\u2019ll take a bit of time to get used to \u2013 although this handy guide to your Zero QS-S4 display screen will certainly help.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s where you\u2019ll activate your cruise control feature, adjust the strength of its regenerative brakes and acceleration, and play with its arsenal of battery-saver settings, such as the brightness of its display and auto turn-off feature.<\/p><p>Oh, and if the QS-S4 display looks familiar, that\u2019s because it is. Rather than being unique to the Zero line, <strong>the console is a standardized unit used on many other popular scooters. That includes Apollo, Kaabo, and VSETT<\/strong>.<\/p><p>The QS-S4 isn\u2019t quite as customizable as the smart EY3 device that you\u2019ll find on higher performance models, nor does it come close to the eye-watering capabilities that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/electric-scooters\/reviews\/nami-burn-e-viper-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>NAMI Burn-e\u2019s industry-leading console<\/strong><\/a> offers. However, the QS-S4 still does a great job and is the perfect match for the Zero 9\u2019s capabilities.<\/p><h3>Secret Feature: Hidden USB Port to Charge Your Mobile and Accessories<\/h3><p>There\u2019s more to the Zero 9 than meets the eye \u2013 particularly as far as its QS-S4 display is concerned.<\/p><p>Because look closer, and you\u2019ll see a subtly tucked away USB port behind the screen\u2019s circular frame. If you\u2019re desperate, you can use this plug in your electronic devices to charge on the go \u2013 however, I wouldn\u2019t recommend it. Harvesting your Zero 9\u2019s QS-S4 display for smartphone power won\u2019t only drain your scooter\u2019s battery, but also risks sizzling the very circuits that help keep this device ticking \u2013 so charge at your peril.<\/p><h3>Cruise Control<\/h3><p>Accessible via the multi-talented QS-S4 display is the scooter\u2019s cruise control function. Enable this while you\u2019re out on the road to travel at a steady speed, and <strong>ease the strain on your finger by not having to keep the throttle constantly pulled down<\/strong>.<\/p><p>To engage cruise control, head to setting P6 before you set out, and change the \u20180\u2019 on the dial to \u20181\u2019. Once you\u2019ve set off \u2013 and have reached the speed you want to stay at \u2013 the cruise control feature will do its work, and allow you to release control.<\/p><p>To stop cruise control, simply squeeze the brakes, and you\u2019ll regain manual control over your scooter.<\/p><h3>LED Lights (Featuring a Stem Strip and Mood Deck LEDs)<\/h3><p>The Zero 9 may not stand out from the crowd so much when it comes to its build or basic specs, but wow \u2013 does it look good.

Located low down at the front of the scooter \u2013 on the fender \u2013 it fails to provide adequate illumination for riding at night. I always prefer to see headlights situated higher up on a scooter\u2019s stem (closer to the handlebars) for this very reason.<\/p><p>Against that backdrop, you\u2019ll need to strap on some extra rechargeable lights to ride the Zero 9 safely after dark.<\/p><h3>Telescopic Stem for Adjustable Handlebar Height<\/h3><p>As a general rule, the more an electric scooter costs, the more features it will come with.<\/p><p>But one notable exception to that rule is the telescopic stem \u2013 a great value add that you\u2019re far less likely to see on more premium scooters, but that you will see on the likes of the Zero 9 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/best-electric-scooters-for-commuting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>other commuter models<\/strong><\/a>. This feature allows you to adjust the scooter\u2019s stem across a 10-inch range (29\u201d to 39\u201d), meaning you can customize it to fit the height that you find most comfortable.<\/p><p>The telescopic stem also offers extra benefits as far as portability is concerned, by <strong>enabling you to further reduce the size of the scooter when packing it down into storage or transit<\/strong>.<\/p><p>This feature isn\u2019t without its drawbacks, though. These moving parts can contribute to a lack of stem stability, which means you do run the gauntlet of stem wobble when you\u2019re on the road.<\/p><p>Ultimately, this isn\u2019t something you should worry too much about, nor should it deter you from opting for the Zero 9 (or, better still, the Apollo City). Just make sure to securely fasten the quick-release lever that holds the stem into place to make each ride a safe and enjoyable one.<\/p><h3>Foldable Handlebars for Enhanced Portability<\/h3><p>The handlebars collapse via a folding screw mechanism. This allows the scooter to benefit from even more portability and looks great to boot.<\/p><p>Perhaps the only thing to watch out for is that the locking rings tend to loosen up after several sojourns. This isn\u2019t a big deal, though, and you can stay on top of this issue by remaining vigilant and checking how secure they are before and after each ride.<\/p><h3>Optional Seat Attachment<\/h3><p>If there\u2019s one thing better than riding a scooter, it\u2019s riding a scooter sitting down.<\/p><p>And, fortunately, the Zero 9 offers an optional seat attachment that\u2019s available to purchase for just $95.<\/p><p><strong>Adjustable and with hydraulic suspension in the post, the seat is built for maximum comfort<\/strong> and can be customized to fit your height and preferred riding position.<\/p><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-15444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts.jpeg\" alt=\"Zero 8 Seat Parts\" width=\"820\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts.jpeg 820w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-300x186.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-1024x636.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-767x476.jpeg 767w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-1536x953.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-2048x1271.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-242x150.jpeg 242w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-100x62.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-564x350.jpeg 564w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-788x489.jpeg 788w, https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/zero-8-seat-parts-599x372.jpeg 599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/p><p>Scooters of the Zero 9\u2019s price that can be fitted with seat attachments are all too rare.

Faults that result from any unauthorized modifications to the scooter you may have made will likewise void the warranty.<\/p><p>Somewhat annoyingly, REV Rides\u2019 warranty also excludes labor \u2013 so, even if the damage itself should legitimately be covered under the policy, you may still wind up being slapped with a check for the repair guy\u2019s troubles.<\/p><h3>Post-Purchase Support<\/h3><p>The REV Rides customer care team is available between 8 am and 4 pm PST, Monday to Friday \u2013 simply dial 1-360-888-7433 to get in touch. You can also take advantage of the company\u2019s stellar email-based support by pinging a query to <a href=\"mailto:contactus@revrides.com\"><strong>contactus@revrides.com<\/strong><\/a> or utilize the online form on their website to submit a support request.<\/p><p><strong>REV Rides\u2019 superlative commitment to customer service and attention to detail<\/strong> is something I\u2019ve been lucky enough to witness firsthand when I jumped on a call with the company\u2019s CEO, Nathan Pust, earlier this year. We talked all things Zero and VSETT, and I got a real sense of the team\u2019s passion, and the emphasis they place on quality control.<\/p><p>Head to REV Rides\u2019 YouTube channel, and you\u2019ll see exactly what I mean. It\u2019s brimming with content about the Zero 9, from guides about its QS-S4 display and P-settings, to tutorials showing you how to change the tires and tubes. You\u2019ll also find walkthroughs around folding the 9\u2019s handlebars, adjusting its brakes, and how to align the steering.<\/p><p><div class=\"media_video clearfix text-center\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><meta content=\"Take a Close Look at the Zero 9's Frame & Features\" itemprop=\"name\"><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2021-08-17 12:05:38\" \/><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailURL\" content=\"\/\/i1.ytimg.com\/vi\/P0uRE5v7AKY\/hqdefault.jpg\"><meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P0uRE5v7AKY\" \/><div class=\"border-lightgrey clearfix inner padd20 pb0 rh-shadow3\"><div class=\"video-container\"><iframe width=\"703\" height=\"395\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P0uRE5v7AKY?rel=0&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" ebkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen><\/iframe><\/div><h4>Take a Close Look at the Zero 9's Frame & Features<\/h4><p itemprop=\"description\">From its eye-catching blue LED strip lights to its foldable handlebars and telescopic stem, feast your eyes on the Zero 9's sleek red, white, and black frame.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<div class=\"egg-container egg-grid\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"col-md-3 col-xs-6 cegg-gridbox\">\n    <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/go\/18864-mtt10o3kbu\">\n\n        <div class=\"cegg-thumb\" style=\"padding: 5px;\">\n            \n                    <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"producttitle\" style=\"min-height: 90px;\">\n                            <div class=\"cegg-mb10\">\n                    <span class=\"text-muted title-case\">Revrides.com<\/span>\n                <\/div>\n            \n            \n            Zero 9        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"productprice\">\n                            <span class=\"cegg-price cegg-price-color cegg-price-unknown\">$1,099.00<\/span>\n                                \n                \n        <\/div>\n\n        <div class=\"cegg-btn-grid\">\n            <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electricscooterinsider.com\/go\/18864-mtt10o3kbu\" class=\"btn btn-danger\">SEE SCOOTER<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/a>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While its lightweight frame and basic specs will endear it to newbies, its pneumatic tires, spring suspension, and compact folding frame mean it\u2019ll also appeal to those looking for a comfortable commuter scooter.
