Zero electric motorbike models

Zero Motorcycles is a manufacturer of electric motorcycles with a range of models including the Zero S (street), SR (street racing), FXS (supermoto), DS (dual-sport), DSR (dual-sport racing), FX (motocross), and SR/F.

The DS model became available at the same time, followed by the XU in 2011. In 2012, the ZF9 Power Pack was introduced, making the Zero S and DS the first electric motorcycles capable of exceeding an EPA-estimated 100 miles on a single charge.

The Zero S and DS were completely redesigned in 2013, with a battery capacity increase to 11.4kWh, and the introduction of a new brushless permanent magnet AC motor. In 2014, the optional 2.8kWh “Power Tank” became available, and the Zero SR was added to the range.

The battery pack size increased to 12.5kWh for the 2015 models, with standard ABS brakes and Showa suspension, and CHAdeMO fast charging was eliminated as an option. In 2016, the DSR and FXS models were introduced, and a “Charge Tank” accessory was made available.

IN 2017 the battery pack size improved to 13.0kWh for a total possible maximum capacity of 15.9kWh including the optional Power Tank. All models also received the interior-permanent-magnet (IPM) motor, a larger capacity controller, and a wider, high-torque carbon fibre reinforced belt.

Zero also produces a line of electric motorcycles for police, authority, and military use. The company’s Lithium-ion power packs and motors were developed in-house, and are branded under the names “Z-Force” and “ZF.”

Zero has won the production electric motorcycle class at Pikes Peak in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
