Designed to aggressively promote urban and occasional diversion, zero S electric motorcycle incorporates the revolutionary design of innovative motorcycle. Built from scratch using Zero Motorcycles exclusive pack Z-Force chassis and aircraft-grade alloy, the Zero S has a power industry leader in weight gain reach and maneuverability. It has a range of 43 miles using the recently adopted MIC prescribed "Driving Range Test Procedure for electric cars, which is based on EPA testing UDDS and adopted a speed exceeding 67 MPH. The Zero S is designed for optimal performance of the line in tight corners and even the obstacles to navigation.
instantaneous acceleration and the light of the Zero S to satisfy all the streets of the city, hill or an obstacle, which combines the joy with efficiency.
Instant acceleration and light weight allows Zero to do something for the S hill of the city, or an obstacle. It's faster on the highway or off-course, Zero S is designed for performance.
The Zero S is priced at $ 9,995. He is eligible for a federal tax credit of 10%, effectively reducing the price of $ 1,000 for a total of $ 8,995. Some states offer additional incentives. The bike can be purchased online and will begin shipping in the U.S. in mid-March. The Zero S comes with a limited warranty of two years.
Zero S Model Highlights
What's New for 2011
The completely redesigned 2011 S Zero is equipped with a comprehensive update of a fast, innovative payment method that cut the download time and a half. Equipped with new brakes, well-calibrated suspension system and maintenance-free belt drive, Zero Motorcycles has created an attractive street fighter, which offers a new modern look and exceptional comfort. Sophisticated silence speaks to its overall quality solid construction, 2011 S Zero is also the ability of 12.5% faster and takes riders on quietly. While using the motorcycle used in new systems more intelligent, and transmitting data to monitor the power line of the line again. Almost all S Zero 2011 has seen the updates and improvements. For these are the wheels, tires, hardware, platforms and integrated ignition and lock up.

S Zero Key Highlights
Frame / Body
aircraft aluminum is used exclusively for the construction of a lightweight and rigid chassis Spar Zero S twins. A look at the frame and it speaks for itself. It 'an aggressive, powerful and one of the main reasons that the Zero S can take any urban environment. Designed for a low center of gravity, Zero S is very nimble and responsive. The department has carried out with a new body provides a modern, ambitious, aggressive, and the nude look.
• Frame and bodywork was designed from scratch for Zero Motorcycles
• Extremely rigid, lightweight aluminum twin spar frame
• Saddle up improved driver confidence and better management for a low center of gravity
• Designed for low center of gravity to increase maneuverability and to respond to
• All new bodywork / graphics
? 17 rooms newly designed bodywork
? Available in red and black
? Zero first pack power always black
? Revised drawing board and flashes
? New tire hugging front fender
? New Mosquito
? the trunk to hide air intake
? More durable ABS plastic
Power Pack / Electronics
Years of development and patented Z-Force Zero ™ makes S a leader in acceleration, range and longevity. The use of an advanced control system, each cell of the power supply is controlled individually during loading and unloading. The onboard charger is integrated in this system and uses a load profile developed specifically to optimize battery charging. The use of isolated power systems, the Zero S uses a standard 12-volt power to operate the scoreboard, lighting and other skate accessories.
• Quick-charge option that cuts load time by nearly half
• Increase the scope and improving the capacity of power supply
• additional capacity of 12.5% in 2010
• External programming and ability to remember through a diagnostic port
• The advanced diagnostic reporting systems
• The supply systems and isolated 12-volt system to run accessories
• on-board charger that uses a specially designed load profile
• new, more precise engine mounted tachometer and a precision of better front-end cleaner
• New ignition key and steering lock to enhance security and peace of mind
Motor / air intake Z-Force
A compact and powerful engine drives the S. Zero The new Z-Force Air Induction system provides S Zero to see more engine power through the efficient movement of air through its core.
• The Z-Force air induction system performance allows for greater engine
• Powerful compact and lightweight
• Maintain efficient and under design of permanent magnet motors
Wheels and brakes
S Zero wheels are designed to minimize unsprung weight and reduce the rotating mass. Designed specifically for the Zero S, lightweight design includes custom hubs, spokes, and rotors. To maximize the overall strength of the wheel hub is configured to use straight rays. The resulting wheel is lighter, stronger and more responsive.
New wheels and tires:
• Standard wheel and tire sizes spare more options
F:? 3.00x17 wheels, 110/70-17 tires
? 3.50x17 wheels, tires 130/70-17: R
• Red anodized front and rear wheels
• aggressive street tire profile
• High strength, light rays pull it
More powerful and effective brakes HB Performance:
• more accurate, easier to adjust and requires less effort
• Large front 310 mm 4 mm rotor and tail rotor thick
• Increased fade resistance, greater thermal mass rotors
• steel braided line to feel superior and modulation of the brake lever more precise
• Increase the master cylinder bore increased prior to transmission and brake
• greater consistency with standard-size models of alternative mounting more
• New, High Performance Street compound brake pads
Suspension
The suspension of Zero S was developed by Zero to enjoy the design of light motorcycles. His inverted front fork is among the lightest in the industry and can be externally adjusted to the ring in compression and rebound. A rigid rear swingarm with dual diamond wheel planted using a custom rear shock with adjustable preload and easy to listen to depreciation.
Suspension system carefully adjusted, balanced and better:
• specially adapted for the street
? Tested on the streets and highways for a variety of different brokers
? total suspended specialists registered with the riders riding
? Analysis of compliance to optimize driving performance by adjusting the attenuation curves and spring rates
• Revision of the triple clamps to improve pre-load and durability
• New fork and shock, internal
• aluminum studs reduce weight and excellent control
• Settings before: the compression and relaxation
• Behind Adjustments: preload, compression and rebound
• A unique double diamond aircraft aluminum rear swingarm to reduce weight and increase torsional rigidity
? more rigid swingarm for 2011
