2016 Zero DS Review

2016 Zero DS on www.Totalmotorcycle.com

Bypass the Ordinary…

The Zero DS combines innovation with passion to deliver the world’s most versatile electric motorcycle. Designed to be agile in the dirt and quick on the street, the Zero DS represents a new kind of freedom.

Blast down a gravel road or a dusty trail. When you’re ready, stealthily pass from the wild to the civilized as you arrive at your destination. The Zero DS is tough when you demand it and distinguished when required. Choose from the Power Tank or Charge Tank accessories to extend your range or take advantage of three times faster charging.

Propelled by the most advanced technology in the industry, the Zero DS is a fully electric motorcycle that can handle any surface you throw at it. Overcoming obstacles and maintaining control is effortless due to its direct-drive, fully adjustable Showa suspension and rugged wheel set. Under technical riding conditions, Zero’s revolutionary Z-Force® motor delivers astonishing responsiveness with the twist of your wrist. As with Zero’s entire model line, the Zero DS offers a liberating ownership experience with its maintenance-free powertrain, penny per mile ‘fuel’ cost and powerful acceleration.

A refined powertrain integrated with an off-road heritage

The Zero DS and Zero DSR share much of the DNA found in the Zero S but also incorporate technology that makes them ideally suited for a wider range of conditions. In the dirt or on the street, the Pirelli dual sport tires maintain a tight grip, and the specially engineered Showa suspension system absorbs the bumps. The result is a dual sport motorcycle that is ready for any surface you throw at it.

 

2016 Zero DS www.Totalmotorcycle.com Key Features

Stealthily pass from the wild to the civilized

New for 2016

Farther and Faster

Years of refinement have made Zero’s versatile dual sport motorcycles even more dynamic. Smooth and stylish in the city—yet capable and robust off-road—owning a Zero DS is like having two bikes in one. And, for 2016, technological advancements will have you rolling faster and riding farther.

For the dual sport rider demanding more, we created the Zero DSR. A 660 amp controller adds 56% more torque and 25% more power to the Zero DS, the world’s most versatile electric motorcycle. The resulting acceleration is smooth and stunning.

At the heart of each Zero DS ZF13.0 and Zero DSR is an all-new Z-Force® motor. Its innovative interior permanent magnet (IPM) design cools more rapidly and has greater thermal capabilities. Performance is substantially improved in demanding conditions, both on- and off-road, and higher sustained top speeds are achieved.

To expand riding opportunities and provide access to the growing public charging infrastructure, Zero has effectively tripled charging speed with the new Charge Tank accessory. Leveraging the popular J1772 standard, the Charge Tank is designed to work with level 2 charging stations. ZF9.8 power packs can now be charged to 95% in about two hours, while the new higher capacity ZF13.0 takes about three hours.

New cell chemistry within the Z-Force® power pack stores more energy and operates more efficiently, resulting in a system that boasts the highest energy density in the electric vehicle industry. The power pack requires no routine maintenance and is backed by a 5-year / 100,000 mile warranty.

As Zero continues to raise the bar on its highest performance models, proven technology makes electric motorcycles even easier to own. With its impressive power-to-weight ratio, the 2016 Zero DS ZF9.8 delivers the thrill and convenience of electric at a new lower price.

Zero DS Electric Motorcycle Frame

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. It is lightweight, strong and one of the main reasons that the motorcycles handle incredibly well on the dirt or street. Designed to have a low center of gravity, the Zero DS and Zero DSR are 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 greater range or the Charge Tank accessory for faster charging.

· Beautifully sculpted bodywork and chin fairing provides improved cooling of the powertrain
· Integrated, lockable and removable storage compartment
· Extremely rigid and lightweight black twin spar aircraft grade aluminum frame
