Global Demand for Electric Patrolling Motorcycles Grows as Zero Launches Powerful New Models

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Zero Motorcycles offers police and security motorcycles with customizable options to meet the specific needs of a wide variety of
patrol applications.

With the ability to patrol both on and off road areas, Zero Motorcycles police and security models offer unique advantages over internal combustion driven machines. The 100% electric powertrain is nearly silent, exhaust free, produces minimal heat, has instant torque from zero rpm and is highly maneuverable.

With a ‘fuel’ cost of a penny per mile and a maintenance-free powertrain, a Zero Motorcycles patrol fleet offers the ability to save police and security agencies money while also giving them a tactical advantage.

In certain regions, grants and incentives may be available specifically for both public and private organizations when purchasing electric patrol vehicles. In addition, consumer incentives may actually be applicable to purchases made by either government or private organizations.

Zero Motorcycles engineered the patrol lineup using the popular Zero S and Zero DS consumer products as the platform’s basis. Building off of an already robust platform, Zero heavily modified the consumer products to offer the Zero SP and Zero DSP. The
Zero SP is designed for street usage. The Zero DSP is design for both on and off road usage.

Both models offer a wide array of options that allow governments, companies and organizations to specifically customize the motorcycles they purchase to best suit their needs. The available options cover most domestic and international needs for both police
agencies and security companies.

PRODUCT OFFERINGS
The Zero DSP and Zero SP are built off of the similarly named revolutionary consumer products. As a result, they can now travel farther and feature many of the same core improvements as their consumer counterparts. Using the new Z-Force® Power Tank
aftermarket accessory, agencies have the option to increase the capacity of their overall power pack by an additional 2.8 kWh to a total of 14.2 kWh. This yields a range of 164 miles of city riding. Featuring Zero Motorcycles’ Z-Force® motor and high-voltage power system, both motorcycles deliver instant acceleration that is both impressive and, without ever needing to shift, incredibly smooth. This sophisticated yet elegantly simple power delivery system allows authority figures to more effectively handle complex situations by eliminating peripheral inconveniences such as clutching or shifting. The brushless motor is sealed to ensure longevity and operates with such high efficiency that it requires no external cooling systems whatsoever.

For improved on and off-road handling, both motorcycles now feature larger 43 mm forks, a completely reworked rear shock and more robust tripleclamps. The tripleclamps integrate seamlessly into a sophisticated dash that elegantly presents real time riding data
and motorcycle statistics. To improve ride quality and control, the torsional rigidity of the chassis has been increased by making the frame, swingarm and front end more robust.

Both the head bearings and swingarm bearings are new and larger. In addition, the brake system now offers more stopping power and control with a larger rear rotor and new rear caliper. With a redesigned chin fairing, seamlessly integrated dash and numerous detailed improvements to fit and finish, the 2014 police and security lineup offers agencies a new edge in patrolling while presenting the public with a sophisticated and environmentally aware image.

Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced the launch of its all-new 2013 Zero Police and Security line-up. In 2012, the highly popular Zero DS Police Motorcycle led the market as the only law enforcement product offering by Zero, but 2014 will see both the Zero S and Zero DS outfitted for law enforcement and security details. Appropriately titled the Zero S Police/Security and Zero DS Police/Security, both were developed specifically for police and security agencies. Zero Motorcycles set out to offer two distinct models this year because the company saw a significant increase in demand for street and dual sport police motorcycles on a global level with many Asian, European and South American countries taking interest. North America continues to be in high demand as well. After launching the 2012 Zero DS Police Motorcycle, many law enforcement agencies have now had the model in the field for more than a year and demand continues to rise for the popular motorcycle. Law enforcement agencies have found the motorcycle to be incredibly reliable, maneuverable and economically feasible. Zero continues to work directly with a variety of international law enforcement, security and military agencies. This new model is the result of these collaborative efforts.

“After seeing the success the 2012 model had in the field, we decided to expand our 2014 police and security offerings. To have the support of so many different law enforcement agencies and security organizations is an incredible honor,” said John Lloyd, Vice President of Global Sales for Zero Motorcycles. “As we stated last year, police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve, so it’s imperative that we give them all the tools necessary to allow them to be successful. The 2013 Police and Security line-up does that exceptionally well.”

Law enforcement agencies continue to be one of Zero’s fastest growing segments. In 2012, Zero worked with the Monterey Police Department, Santa Cruz Police Department, San Jose State University Police Department, Scotts Valley Police Department and the largest law enforcement agency in London, England – the London Metropolitan Police, to allow for thorough field-testing and review. Zero has also provided Zero DS Police Motorcycles for corporate security details as well (company’s identities remain anonymous).

The 2014 police and security motorcycles are built off the platforms of the all-new 2014 Zero S and Zero DS. Both models are 93 percent more powerful, generate 62 percent more torque and yield 10 percent greater city range as compared against the equivalent 2012 models. The dual sport configuration is able to travel 121 miles (city), or 74 miles (55 mph highway), on a single charge. The street configuration is able to travel 132 miles (city), or 83 miles (55 mph highway) on a single charge. Both motorcycles have incredible range and performance. Using a new optional CHAdeMO charging accessory, the models can be re-charged to 95 percent at a charging station in an hour or less. Featuring Zero Motorcycles’ completely new Z-Force™ motor and higher-voltage power system, both motorcycles deliver instant acceleration that is both impressive and, without ever needing to shift, incredibly smooth. This sophisticated, yet elegantly simple, power delivery system allows riders to take on more challenging terrain or road conditions by eliminating peripheral inconveniences such as clutching or shifting. The brushless motor is sealed to ensure longevity and operates with such high efficiency that it requires no mechanical cooling systems whatsoever.

The Zero S Police/Security and Zero DS Police/Security motorcycles also feature new bodywork styling, on-board storage, Nissin brakes and mobile device integration. A new two-up seat, refined frame and passenger pegs provide improved comfort and control for both the rider and passenger. For improved off-road handling and to accommodate a wider variety of tires, the Zero DS Police/Security uses new 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tires. The Zero S Police/Security uses 17-inch tires on the front and 17-inch on the rear. Offering a new level of personalization, the Z-Force™ powertrain integrates with mobile devices, via Bluetooth, allowing riders to view a customizable dashboard of detailed riding information and adjust the performance characteristics of the motorcycle.
