Motorcycle specifications Zero Motorcycles X 2011 Keeping paths green

where else could you ride an exceptionally light, manoeuvrable and powerful motocross bike? And what if it made no noise?

the Zero X is the most powerful electric motorcycle on the market today. Built from the ground up, the Zero X incorporates the most advanced electric motorcycle technologies. With its exceptional, immediately available torque, light weight and direct, gearless transmission, the Zero X is a high-performance cross-country motorcycle that will push you to your limits! Its direct drive and low weight will let you fly over obstacles.

the Z-Force lithium-ion battery and high-performance electric motor are optimized for instant acceleration. The Zero X is built around a special aviation-style aluminum frame that allows for quick, tool-free battery replacement, so you can keep riding without the hassle of recharging the battery.

for 2011, the Zero X is available in two completely new configurations, an off-road version and a road-qualified version (Zero XD). Thanks to the new road-legal version, motorcyclists will be able to ride the Zero X on roads open to traffic for the first time. The new version comes with lights, mirrors, a longer transmission ratio, a side stand and road-approved tires. (The tires on the Zero XD are the same as those on the Zero X)

both Zero X configurations feature a new off-road suspension system, plus a powerful new braking system to get you through the most technical trails. A new battery cover in anodized aluminum and new graphics give the Zero X a new look, but that's not all! The Zero X also offers a number of technical improvements. In addition to a new powertrain, the Zero X offers a fast-charging option that cuts charging time in half, to around an hour. Other improvements include a more robust frame, improved grip on the footrests, height-adjustable handlebars and a key-operated starter that incorporates a locking system.
