2016 Zero Motorcycles DSR and FXS


As electric motorcycles become more technically advanced, they gain more and more in popularity especially here in the USA. One of the global leaders in electric motorcycling, Zero Motorcycles, has been at the forefront of these technological advances.

Enter the 2016 Zero Motorcycles lineup, which will surely further amp up additional popularity for electric motorcycles. The 2016 lineup of six bikes including the new DSR and FXS, all arrive with a new powerplant design and more efficient and faster charging batteries. Zero says the lithium-ion cell batteries are the most efficient to date.


The DSR (dual sport) and FXS (supermoto) join four returning models in the 2016 Zero Motorcycles lineup : the Zero S, Zero SR, the Zero DS and the Zero FX. The supermoto FXS arrives with 70 ft/lbs of torque, and weighs less than 300 pounds. As for the adventure-minded DSR, it arrives with 106 ft/lbs of torque and has a top speed of 98 mph.

Zero continues to advance state-of-the-art electric motorcycle technology with their signature Z-Force powertrain. The new Z-Force IPM (interior permanent magnet) motor produces power more efficiently, cools more rapidly and has higher thermal capability, which translates into significantly improved performance during hard riding and allows higher sustained top speeds.

Power is delivered by Z-Force power packs with optimized lithium-ion cell technology. The system boasts the highest energy density in the electric vehicle industry. Gains in capacity and efficiency have pushed the range up to 197 miles in the city and 98 miles on the highway (at 70 mph) with the optional Power Tank accessory.


Zero Motorcycles delivers the speed and convenience of Level 2 charging. With the new Charge Tank accessory, riders will be able to take advantage of the rapidly expanding network of public charging stations and charge three times faster. The Charge Tank works on the popular J1772 standard and effectively recharges a Zero in two to three hours.

Detailed specifications and prices are available at www.zeromotorcycles.com. New models arrive at authorized Zero Motorcycles dealers in November 2015. Motorcycle prices range from US$ 8,495 to US$ 15,995, depending upon model. The Charge Tank accessory is scheduled for delivery in spring 2016 and will have a suggested retail price of US$ 1,988. The range-extending Power Tank accessory is available now and lists for US$ 2,674.
