Zero electric motorcycles
ZERO Motorcycles’ current range of electric motorcycles features an average power increase of 99 percent over previous versions and the world’s longest-range production electric motorcycle: the Zero S, which is said to be capable of 137 miles in the city. Zero says the dramatic increase in the performance of its motorcycles is down to the introduction of its new, highly efficient, passively air-cooled and compact Z-Force motor. It operates using a new higher voltage Z-Force power pack, and is said to provide riders with the option to charge faster than ever, up to 95 percent in an hour or less using CHAdeMO charge stations by way of an optional accessory. “With up to 137 miles in the city, a top speed of 95mph and a CHAdeMO accessory that allows recharging in around an hour, the 2013 model line is truly exceptional,” said Richard Walker, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. “This year’s line-up offers breathtaking acceleration, new eye-catching designs and the innovative ability to
