Zero Motorcycles Zero Emission

They’re busting their humps down at Zero Motorcycles, where founder Neal Saiki has added a dual sport machine to the company’s lineup of electric motorcycles. This is the Santa Cruz outfit’s third new bike since April.

Well, it’s not entirely new. The dual-sport - called, appropriately, the Zero DS - builds on the electric drivetrain and aluminum frame featured in the Zero X enduro, Zero S street and Zero MX motocross machines. Zero beefed the DS up with more suspension travel and bigger tires wrapped around tougher wheels. The DS also got a big honkin’ headlight. Company CEO Gene Banman calls it “the world’s most versatile electric motorcycle.”

Power comes from a 4 kilowatt-hour lithium ion battery that’s good for 50 miles and recharges in four hours from a 110-volt line. The bike weighs 270 pounds. Zero didn’t provide any tech specs for the motor, but the claimed top speed of 55 mph is pretty close to that of the Zero S. That leads us to believe the DS, like the S, uses a 31-horsepower brushed permanent magnet motor that produces 62.5 pound-feet of torque. We’re awaiting confirmation from Zero on that.

The DS is available now for $9,950.

PRESS RELEASE

- The Zero DS is Designed to Handle Any Surface, Dirt or Street -
     SANTA CRUZ, Calif., July 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Zero Motorcycles today introduced the Zero DS, a fully electric dual sport motorcycle that can be ridden anywhere from the city street, to a gravel road, to a dirt trail. Zero has equipped its latest model with aggressive suspension, rugged wheels and dual sport tires to efficiently move riders over any surface. The Zero DS is a high performance motorcycle that is powered by Zero Motorcycles' industry leading Z-Force drivetrain.

"The Zero DS is designed for motorcyclists who want the freedom to ride wherever they want," said Gene Banman, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. "It is the world's most versatile electric motorcycle. You can cut across a dirt trail on your way into work or ride the tarmac to your favorite trail-head."

Unlike the competition, the Zero DS is designed from the ground up to be an electric motorcycle. Aircraft grade aluminum is exclusively used in the construction of the lightweight twin spar frame. Each component on the motorcycle is engineered to minimize weight and the power pack is designed for maximum energy density. The resulting motorcycle is quicker, has greater range and is more agile. Those interested in using the Zero DS for daily driving or short excursions can order it with custom panniers that are factory installed.

Environmentally conscious consumers will be pleased to know that the Zero DS is not only a zero emissions vehicle, but is completely non-toxic and almost 100% recyclable. In addition to the motorcycle's extraordinary energy efficiency, the power pack consists of lithium ion cells that are clean enough to be landfill approved. This unique combination of performance and low overall environmental impact sets a new high standard in the industry.

The Zero DS is available for purchase exclusively through the Zero Motorcycles website and is priced at $9,950. For more information on the Zero DS visit: www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-ds.

Zero Motorcycles is the next step in motorcycle evolution and represents the ultimate electric motorcycle technology. Unencumbered by conventional thinking about how they design, manufacture, and sell high performance electric motorcycles, they are on a mission to turn heads and revolutionize their industry by combining the best aspects of a traditional motorcycle with today's most advanced technology. The result is an electric motorcycle line that's insanely fast and environmentally friendly.

Zero Motorcycles first entered the motorcycle industry in 2006 with the all-electric Drift. In 2008 they launched the Zero X which exceeded all expectations by selling out before the year end. Its success blazed the path for the long awaited launch of the Zero S Supermoto motorcycle in April. Earlier this summer, Zero Motorcycles announced another addition to its electric motorcycle product lineup with the Zero MX which is made specifically for track riding and motocross.
