Z-Force 14.4 battery pack
The Z-FORCE 14.4 kWh lithium-ion battery requires no maintenance or upkeep and makes the S capable of 154 miles of city range. Riders can extend their range even further with the available Power Tank accessory (dealer install required). The battery's industry-leading power and energy density combined with an aluminum heat-sink housing and thermal transfer interface ensure consistent cell cooling and maximum long-term powertrain performance.
Rapid charge system
Our Rapid Charge System is customizable for various charging levels but the baseline for the Zero S is a powerful 3.0 kW charger. To get even faster charging you can elect to have your dealer install the available Rapid Charging Module accessory and boost your onboard charging power. Or alternatively, you can use the included EVSE cord to charge the Zero S from any standard 110V wall outlet for an overnight charge.
Z-Force 75-7 Motor
The Z-Force 75-7 motor delivers 97 lb-ft of torque and 68 hp, effortlessly propelling the S to a top speed of 104 mph. Pairing Zero Motorcycles' renowned internal permanent magnet brushless architecture and a passively air-cooled compact design creates class-leading performance and efficiency.
Chassis
Incredibly light. Unbelievably strong. The steel-trellis frame, custom swingarm and advanced Showa suspension deliver an athletic and intuitive riding experience. The powertrain is perfectly distributed, resulting in a weight-optimized/mass-centralized design, while a dual radial front brake system makes shedding speed as exhilarating as building it.
Bosch motorcycle stability control
Zero Motorcycles was the first electric motorcycle manufacturer to integrate Bosch's MSC System and the Zero S continues that tradition. The MSC within the S is renowned for dynamic acceleration and improved stability regardless of road surface or conditions. All of this technology is behind the big dual 320x5 mm rotors in the front and the 240x4.5 mm in the rear.
See clearly
Customize your dash or simply let the industry’s gold standard in auto-contrasting light sensing do all the work for you. Data fields abound when you choose the bike info you want displayed and read it clearly on the full-color 5” TFT display. Multi-mode navigation enables on-the-fly ride mode switching, cruise-control, and much more.
A dialed ride
The S features Showa suspension components, including a Showa 43-mm Big Piston Separate Function (BPF) front fork with adjustable preload, compression, and rebound damping, as well as a Showa 40-mm piston, piggy-back reservoir rear shock with adjustable preload, compression, and rebound damping. This suspension setup allows riders to fine-tune the bike's handling and comfort according to their preferences and riding conditions.
Rubber side down
The Zero S sits atop a pair of premium lightweight and strong cast 17” wheels wrapped in grippy and versatile Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires. The reduced rotational mass of the wheels is fully taken advantage of thanks to the supple yet durable rubber from the race-inspired, three-season tires.
Carbon strong
The Zero S uses a belt drive system from long time Zero Motorcycles partner, Gates Carbon Drive. The Gates Carbon Drive is a clean, quiet, and low-maintenance alternative to noisy and dirty chain drives that can distract from the smooth and serene riding experience of electric motorcycles. The Gates Poly Chain® HTD® Carbon™ Belt is known for its durability, efficiency, and smooth operation, making it the perfect choice for the Zero Motorcycles Street Category.
Light the way
See the road ahead like never before and ensure it always sees you with the custom-made full LED headlight and LED taillight with opalescent light-pipe for unrivaled lateral visibility.
