Santa
Cruz based Zero Motorcycles is previewing its new high performance
electric street motorcycle, the Zero S. This highly anticipated launch
marks Zero Motorcycles’ official entry into the street legal category.
The company’s new flagship motorcycle uses Zero’s proprietary Z-Force™
power pack and aircraft grade alloy frame to make the Zero S the
quickest production electric motorcycle in its class. Zero Motorcycles
has already taken substantial pre-orders for the Zero S without sharing
details or images and now anticipates a soaring demand.
“Our goal from the
beginning was to engineer a high performance electric urban street
motorcycle that would change the face of the industry. The Zero S is a
revolutionary motorcycle that is designed to tackle any city street,
hill or obstacle,” said Neal Saiki, inventor and founder of Zero
Motorcycles. “The innovation behind the Zero S is what separates it from
the competition. The Zero S is a high performance motorcycle that also
happens to be fully electric and green. The fact that it’s electric
means not having to get petrol as well as reduced maintenance.”
Developed to aggressively take on urban environments and
encourage the occasional detour, the Zero S integrates revolutionary
technology with innovative motorcycle design. Instant
acceleration and a lightweight design combine to form an
industry leading power-to-weight ratio that increases the motorcycle’s
range and handling abilities. Weighing only 102kg, the Zero S has a
range of up to 60 miles and a top speed of 60 MPH, it is designed for
optimal performance off the line, in sharp turns, and while navigating
obstacles.
In addition to its
performance and maneuverability, the Zero S uses a completely non-toxic
lithium ion array and the majority of the motorcycle is fully
recyclable. The landfill approved power pack recharges in less than four
hours while plugged into a standard 110V or 220V outlet. Eco-friendly
with zero emissions at point of use, the Zero S is also economy-friendly
with an operating cost of less than £0.01p per mile.
