Motorcycle specifications Zero MotorcyclesS 2013 The power of silence

developed for urban use yet capable of back-road escapades, the Zero S integrates revolutionary technology with innovative design.

The result is a high-performance motorcycle with one of the lowest running costs around. The all-new "Z-Force" battery and powertrain technology is state-of-the-art. The result: the Zero S accelerates to 153 km/h and goes further than ever before.

Whether you're accelerating in a straight line or coming out of a corner, the Zero S is designed to deliver unique sensations that no other motorcycle can.

2013 Evolutions

the 2013 Zero S is 93% more powerful, with 62% more torque and 20% more range. 95% charging of the ZF8.5 or ZF11.4 at CHAdeMO charging stations in one hour, or even less, thanks to an optional accessory. With a range of 220 km (city) or 137 km (freeway) on a single charge, the Zero S is now not only the most autonomous electric motorcycle ever, but also the fastest, with speeds of up to 153 km/h. Equipped with Zero Motorcycles' all-new Z-Force motor and high-voltage propulsion system, the Zero S delivers blistering acceleration, but with a smooth ride. The ingeniously simple direct drive of the power unit, with no gears or clutches, is so efficient that no mechanical cooling system is required.

in addition to the incredible performance enhancements, the bike's elegant new look, including luggage, modernized riding interfaces and integrated mobile devices, is also worth mentioning. But also a new, modern fairing to match the bike's tank, which is now equipped with a two-seat saddle, handlebars and new footrests to maximize comfort and riding pleasure. The Nissin braking system and passenger footrests are now included in the standard version. The 2013 Zero S is completely customizable: it can be equipped with mobile devices via Bluetooth, enabling the rider to view a dashboard to his or her liking, with detailed riding information, and the ability to adjust the bike's performance characteristics.

range of over 220 km / Service life of over 500,000 km

the 2013 Zero S relies on a new battery type and configuration. Not only does the ZF11.4 pack deliver autonomies in excess of 220km, it's also designed to last the life of the motorcycle. The result of cutting-edge research and development is that each battery cell is individually controlled and constantly monitored to ensure optimum durability. The integrated charger minimizes charging time and can work in parallel with the rapid charger to reduce charging times by up to 75%. What does all this mean? That the Zero S is quite simply the benchmark for production electric motorcycles in terms of acceleration, range, charging time and longevity.

54 hp, 92 Nm_™and incredibly efficient

zero Motorcycles has designed the Z-Force motor down to the smallest detail so that it's compact, efficient and powerful. Accelerating to its top speed of 153 km/h will take your breath away. Fully air-cooled, the engine is designed to deliver a fantastic driving experience with zero maintenance. When you slow down, the motor generates energy which is reused in the battery to increase range.

aircraft-grade aluminum is used exclusively in the construction of the Zero S twin spar frame. both strong and light, it gives the Zero S incredible agility. Designed to have a low center of gravity, the Zero S is highly maneuverable and responsive. The bike's refined appearance is complemented by a sleek new fairing that gives it a contemporary, aggressive and streamlined look. The fairing's "tank" features an integrated storage compartment that is lockable and removable.
