Zero electric range 2010
Zero Motorcycles announced the launch of its 2010 product line, including the Zero S, DS, X, and MX electric powered motorcycles, reports Alastair Walker.
With added power, increased acceleration, and enhanced power pack technology, Zero Motorcycles say that they’re taking electric motorcycle technology to the next level. The road legal models are equipped with performance enhancements that allow for higher top speeds and greater acceleration. The entire range also features improvements in power pack technology and for the first time, colour graphics are a part of the styling. The 2010 product launch makes Zero Motorcycles the first and only electric motorcycle company to launch four distinct models worldwide.
“Our engineering team has revamped, redesigned and completed testing on four models that have considerable improvements for 2010. The result is more power on the road, a new look and an unparalleled riding experience.” Said Gene Banman, CEO, Zero Motorcycles. “Demand in 2009 pushed us to aggressively expand our presence across the United States and around the world.”
With Transport for London announcing that up to £17m was to be invested in the development of an electric charging infrastructure, the Mayor’s ambitions are to make London the electric vehicle capital of Europe. Zero Motorcycles are perfectly placed to provide the vehicles to those city commuters wishing to beat both the pollution and congestion faced by commuters today. There’s a good chance that electric motorcycles will be the only two-wheelers allowed into London, andf other cities, without paying a congestion charge after the next general election. Huge tax rises are likely to combat Britain’s growing public deficit.
Among the most significant advances on the 2010 Zero S and DS is the revolutionary Z-Force Air Induction System. A platform for performance, this system allows Zero to produce more horsepower from lighter and more compact motors by increasing the airflow through the heart of the motor. Zero is also introducing a new throttle technology that modulates the increased power, to provide riders with exacting control over the acceleration. All 2010 motorcycles are powered using Z-Force power pack technology with new and more precise cell monitoring. The cumulative result of all this technology is a longer power pack life, more power, greater acceleration off the line and superior handling.
In addition to the increased performance capabilities, consumers now can choose between colour graphic packages or Zero’s classic white on all four models. New seat configurations are also an option for the 2010 Zero S and DS. Specially designed by Corbin, the new seats provide a more comfortable and performance-oriented ride. Those interested in reducing the seat height can now select a Corbin low seat option.
The four 2010 bikes for 2010 iclude the Zero S is priced at £7995.00 (including delivery), the DS and MX dirt models, plus the X at £5995.00. The Zero X comes with a two-year warranty by the way.
