presentation of the DSR Black Forest Edition 2018
Would Zero like to tackle rally-raid?! Looking at this special Black Forest edition of the DSR, you'd think adventure had slept more than one night with the electric motorcycle. Designed exclusively for Europe, this new model has been developed to meet the growing demand from adventure enthusiasts wishing to ride electric motorcycles. What's more, it offers the longest range on the market in the electric trail bike category, thanks to a battery offering the highest power and energy concentration of any electric vehicle in the industry. Zero's new DSR Black Forest Edition features exclusive packages such as the new fast charger, Charge Tank (which charges batteries 6 times faster) and a set of integrated panniers. The combination of a high-capacity battery and a fast charger makes touring a reality. On a single charge, adventure-seekers can take full advantage of the environment, with a range of 262 km in town and 126 km on the freeway. Still not enough to make a thermal Adventure flinch, but the threat is slowly making headway.
the new charging technology quickly recharges the battery to 152 km of range per hour of charging. Riders can also power their bikes using the extensive network of Level II charging stations throughout Europe.
the Zero Motorcycles DSR Black Forest Edition offers an impressive 146 Nm of torque, or almost 15 mkg, capable of propelling riders with great vigor. No clutches or gear changes are required, thanks to Zero's Z-Force® direct-drive powertrain. What's more, performance can be customized using Zero's mobile app to suit the needs and experience levels of as many riders as possible.
the new model includes a whole range of accessories and options developed for adventure. The Zero Motorcycles DSR Black Forest Edition is equipped with :
- Charge Tank (optional / + 2710 euros)
- Black aluminum top and side bags
- Touring windscreen
- Touring saddle
- Crankcase guard
- LED auxiliary lights (for off-road use only)

Bikers' reviews Leave a review - 1 review
i'll try to answer your questions as clearly as possible.
The DSR does weigh 190kg, including around 80kg for the battery (for 14.4kWh).
this is not such a heavy weight for a trail bike with such high acceleration performance.
The range is good (for an electric two-wheeler) and obviously depends on how you ride.
Personally, on the road in the Beaujolais region, I have a range of between 150 and 180kms.
In the mountains, customers with the PowerTank and a 2017 DS (16.3kWh) came to Val d'Isère on a charge from Annemasse.
Then on the way down you regenerate a (small) part of what you've spent.
but it's true that many of my customers use their car mainly for commuting. Personally, I did an electric road rally in 10/2017 (the France Electrique Tour) and the daily stages were between 320 and 400kms.
One of my customers is taking part in the green expedition: electric rally in Argentina in April 2018. 5000kms from south to north along route 40 in 20 days.
At your service!
