Change performance profiles with the push of a button to easily take on city streets, urban arteries, or winding backroads. The Zero S may be set to either the sporty or environmentally friendly mode by default. Connect using a mobile device to make performance adjustments or collect ride data.
Charge up to 6X faster.
When connected to a Level-2 charging station, the Charge Tank option can deliver up to 85 miles of riding into the 2023 Zero S for every hour of charging. Today, a cup of coffee is equivalent to 30 miles of riding. Depending on the size of the battery, it may also charge entirely in less time. Discover more.
Charging. Household outlet, please.
No specialized equipment is needed for charging. Your typical home outlets have now evolved into “fueling” locations that provide daily trips for a fraction of the price of gasoline. Connect at night to begin each day with a full “tank.” Discover more.
More riding stays with less.
Adieu to overpriced engine upkeep and stale donuts from the waiting area. Sophisticated. Simple. The Z-Force® engine eliminates the oily mess created by fossil burners. There is no need for pricey tune-ups, oil, spark plugs, clutches, filters, or chain adjustments. Instead, a motor that employs a single moving element to provide torque at levels exceeding those of typical superbikes is directly connected to the back wheel via a carbon fiber belt.
We are constantly advancing. To achieve better performance, the Z-Force® powertrain’s code is continually enhanced. Utilizing your mobile device, the Zero App quickly provides improvements. Discover more.
Battery
The Z-Force® battery from Zero Motorcycles has the highest power and more energy density in the EV sector. The ZF7.2 battery is included with the Zero S. For a 3.6 kWh increase in battery capacity, add a Power Tank accessory.
Having a five-year, unlimited mileage guarantee and being built to endure, the battery is protected. Long-term battery health is further enhanced by the Zero S’s Long-Term Storage Mode, which optimizes the battery’s charge level.
Motor
The remarkable Z-Force® motor has a design so effective that passive air cooling is needed to generate steady power and up to 116 ft-lb. Throttle down for powerful acceleration. The battery will gradually get more energy as you slowly release the gas pedal.
Absence of cumbersome, costly, or heavy liquid cooling. No fuss. No routine maintenance. The most powerful, small, and effective brushless motor available on the market is this one.
Dash
The Zero S has a full-color display that displays the information you need, like speed, battery level, power output, riding mode, and more. To personalize the information seen on your dash, sync with your smartphone.
Suspension
Zero and Showa worked together to create a smooth suspension, had excellent small-bump compliance, and had predictable control over more enormous impacts. To wholly and simply glide over any city street or tear down your favorite winding highways, the whole suspension system can be modified.
Wheels and Tires
Corner with confidence. To create a system that provides the most incredible amount of grip, beautiful cast alloy wheels are paired with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires. To reduce unsprung weight and enhance handling, a front axle might be hollow.
Brakes
The anti-lock brake system (ABS) from Bosch provides sure stopping. The technology maximizes deceleration when you slam on the brakes since it has been tested in almost every imaginable scenario. Levers that may be adjusted for better ergonomics are used to apply the brakes. Riders can turn on or off ABS.
Direct Drive
Remove the chains, gears, shifters, clutches, and other cumbersome components. Energy softly turns into propulsion, allowing for effortless acceleration at speeds above 100 mph. Direct drive is the Zero S. Utilizing a carbon fiber belt, the cutting-edge motor is directly connected to the rear wheel.
Standard Charge Port
Simple. Subtle. The standard charging port is covert. The internal charger may be quickly and simply connected to any standard home outlet using a thin wire. There is no need for extra charging hardware.
The Tank
No motorbike “tank” on the planet is more flexible. The regular Zero S tank is fitted with ample lockable storage and is interested in quicker charging or better range. Swap the primary tank with either the Charge Tank option.
