Zongfa 007

Battery and motor

The ZF-007 has a 1500W motor and a 72V 30Ah lithium battery. Zhongfa claims a top speed of more than 60 km/h and a range of more than 80 km per charge. The headline figure says 2 to 3 hours to charge, while the specification table says 3 hours, with a 10A charger. This is a quick charging time compared with the 4 to 6 hours quoted for other Zhongfa models, which is a real advantage if you charge during the day. These are manufacturer claims and have not been independently tested.

Size and practicality

The 007 rides on 12-inch tyres at both ends, which should give a steadier ride on rough roads than the 10-inch wheels used on the cheaper Zhongfa scooters. The maximum rated load is more than 170 kg. The official page highlights a front storage compartment for small items and integrated handlebar controls. Dimensions, weight, seat height and ground clearance are not published on the page, so we have not listed them. The page describes a sporty, aggressive front design built around a bold LED headlight.

Equipment

Only one version is sold. The features listed on the official page are LED headlights, a digital dashboard, front and rear disc brakes, a front storage compartment and handlebar controls. The page does not mention USB charging, a removable battery, regenerative braking or reverse mode. The battery is described as a lithium (Li) battery, without the LFP chemistry or IP rating that Zhongfa lists for its other models. Two colours are offered: grey and red.

Price, warranty and which one to buy

The official price is PKR 285,000. No warranty period is published on the model page, so please get the battery, motor and controller terms in writing from the dealer. The site’s Z-Tron page lists the same motor, battery, range and speed as the 007 but shows no price, so please ask your dealer whether the two are the same scooter. In our opinion, the 007 is a good choice for riders who want a quick-charging scooter with disc brakes at both ends and a top speed that can keep up on busier roads. It costs Rs 20,000 more than the Parkour, which has a larger colour range but a lower claimed top speed and a heavier-duty frame. It costs about Rs 73,000 less than the Z6 2000, which has a bigger battery and a higher top speed, so riders who regularly travel longer distances should consider stepping up.
