Game Changing Z-Force® Power Pack
130+ Mi Range / 300,000+ Mi Lifetime
The 2015 Zero DS features advanced cell
chemistry and battery management systems that provide greater
capacity and range. Not only does the ZF12.5 power pack enable
you to go beyond 130 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 to ensure maximum health. The highly
efficient onboard charger minimizes charge time and can work in
parallel with Zero’s scalable off-board charging systems. What
does this mean? Simply put, the Zero DS is a leader in
acceleration, range and longevity for production electric
motorcycles.
Power Tank Technology
Up
to 170 Miles in the City
The Z-Force® Power Tank adds 2.8 kWh of
power pack storage capacity to any 2015 Zero DS. An optional
accessory, the Power Tank can be added at any time during or
after motorcycle purchase, bringing the maximum battery capacity
to 15.3 kWh. With that much energy, you can expect to travel up
to 170 miles in the city or 82 miles on the highway.
Revolutionary Z-Force® Motor
54
hp, 68 ft-lbs… and incredibly efficient
Zero Motorcycles designed the Z-Force®
motor from the ground up to be compact, efficient and powerful.
It provides you with exhilarating acceleration to a top speed of
98 mph. Completely air-cooled, the motor is designed to provide
a fantastic riding experience minus the need for any regular
maintenance. When slowing down, the motor generates electricity
that is channeled back into the power pack to help extend ride
times.
Frame
and Bodywork
Great to look at. Even better to ride.
Aircraft grade aluminum is exclusively
used in the construction of the twin spar frame on the Zero DS.
It is lightweight, strong and one of the main reasons that the
Zero DS handles incredibly well on the dirt or street. Designed
to have a low center of gravity, the Zero DS is highly
maneuverable and responsive. The refined, yet rugged, appearance
is completed with sleek bodywork with a contemporary, aggressive
and naked look. The ‘tank’ section of the bodywork features an
integrated storage compartment that is both lockable and
removable. The tank section can also be replaced with the Power
Tank accessory for an additional 2.8 kWh of power pack capacity.
The Magic Ride
Zero worked in close collaboration with
Showa to develop suspension systems that provide excellent small
bump compliance, predictable control of bigger impacts and
exceptionally smooth action under all conditions. Torsional
rigidity of the front end improves handling, and a hollow front
axle reduces unsprung weight. Suspension settings are completely
customizable to meet the demands of a wide variety of riders.
Bosch Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Powerful. Precise. Control.
The Zero DS features an advanced Bosch
anti-lock brake system (ABS) that improves control in a wide
array of conditions and ensures the best braking performance,
while a large 320 mm diameter carrier-less rotor increases
stopping power.
Wheels and Tires
Pirelli tires are standard on the Zero DS,
providing great traction in a wide variety of conditions,
excellent durability and road feel. The tires are mounted to
stylish cast alloy wheels that feature durable wheel bearings.
Zero DS Electric Motorcycle Dashboard

right-hand switch gear, to better meet the needs of your ride:
