2012 Zero Motorcycle S ZF6

Game Changing Z-Force™ Technology: 100+ Mi Range / 300. 00+ Mi on a Power PackThe 2012 Zero S leverages a completely new battery cell chemistry and configuration. Not only does the ZF9 power pack enable riders to go beyond 100 miles. it is also designed to last the life of the motorcycle. The result of cutting edge research and development. each cell in the power pack is individually controlled and monitored at all times to ensure maximum health. The integrated onboard charger minimizes charge time and can work in parallel with Zero’s quick charge accessories to cut charge times by as much as 75%. What’s this all mean? Simply put. the Zero S is the leader for production electric motorcycles in acceleration. range. recharge time and longevity. State of the art new power pack configurations and cell chemistryCells last 3. 00 full charge-discharge cycles before hitting 80% capacity. yielding as much as 308. 00 miles on the original power packUp to 95% higher energy density power packs that yield significant range and performance advantagesElegant new low resistance and highly robust cell interconnect technologyNew battery management system with enhanced 24/7 cell monitoring and a 92% reduction in power consumptionNew. higher voltage power system that allows the motor to run cooler and with more RPMs than ever beforeScalable quick-charge options available to cut recharge times by as much as 75%Isolated power systems and 12 volt system for running accessoriesOnboard charger that uses a specially developed charge profileBrushless Motor and Regenerative Braking: 88 mph Top SpeedA compact and powerful brushless motor provides riders with exhilarating acceleration to a top speed of 88 mph. Completely air cooled. the motor is designed to provide riders with years of fun minus the need for any regular maintenance. When slowing down. the motor works with a new brushless motor controller to recharge the power pack. Completely new maintenance-free. clean. forced-air cooled brushless motorIncreased torque and broader power band for much stronger accelerationQuad-level regenerative system recharges the power pack when deceleratingRe-gen level is increased during brake application vs. “neutral” decelerationBoth braking and “neutral” re-gen levels are set higher in Eco vs. Sport modeFrame and Bodywork: Lightweight and StealthyAircraft grade aluminum is exclusively used in the construction of the lightweight and rigid Zero S twin spar frame. One look at the frame and it speaks for itself. It is aggressive. strong and one of the main reasons that the Zero S can take on anything in an urban environment. Designed to have a low center of gravity. the Zero S is highly maneuverable and responsive. The body is completed using bold new bodywork to give it a contemporary. aggressive and naked look. The 2012 frame is designed to accommodate a rider and passenger with an optional accessory.

Developed specifically for the Zero S by Zero Motorcycles. the sporty new design represents Zero’s first ever cast wheel. The Zero S also features more powerful brakes than ever before with a larger front master cylinder bore and new Zero designed rotors. Only model to feature Zero’s new weight and strength optimized cast wheelsBrakes are more precise. easier to modulate and require less effortZero designed rotors for optimized performance and reduced unsprung weightLarger front master cylinder bore size for increased stopping powerSteel braided lines for superior lever feel and more precise brake modulationHigh performance compound brake padsSuspension: The Magic RideThe suspension on the Zero S was developed by Zero to take advantage of the motorcycle's lightweight design. Its inverted front fork is among the lightest in the industry and can be externally adjusted to dial in compression and rebound damping. A rigid double diamond rear swing arm keeps the wheel planted using a custom rear shock with a fully adjustable spring preload and easily tuned damping. The smooth suspension combines with the silence of the powertrain to yield an exhilarating ride that needs to be experienced to be understood.

For 2012. the Zero S allows riders to set the motorcycle’s performance to either Sport or Eco. Sport / Eco switch to allow riders to select motorcycle performanceNew high intensity headlightExceptionally accurate charge indicatorNew and innovative State of Charge (SOC) algorithmErgonomic and durable switch gear (for operation of lights. turn signals. etc. )Keyed ignition switch and steering lock for improved security and peace of mindMore comfortable seat to accommodate longer ridesGearing: Maintenance Free Belt DriveFeaturing a clutchless direct drive. the Zero S is geared for rapid acceleration and increased efficiency. Using a maintenance free belt system. the Zero S is able to achieve minimal frictional losses. This increases its overall range and channels power more efficiently into speed. The result is a motorcycle that is quick and responsive.
