The 2023 Zero S Introduces Riders To Thrilling Electric Motorcycles
Contents
The 2023 Zero S isn’t just a motorcycle, with its electric powertrain, minimal maintenance, impressive range, and charging capabilities it’s a revolution on two wheels. It is also the lowest priced option of the 2023 Zero “S” lineup. The Zero S strips away the noise, fumes, and vibration, letting you enjoy the pure, uninterrupted flow of the ride. The Z-Force® powertrain offers smooth acceleration just at the twist of a throttle, no shifting, all torque. The motor, a Z-Force® 75-5 permanent magnet, brushless motor with a peak torque of 78 ft-lb and 46 horsepower propels it to a top speed of 98 mph.
A defining feature of Zero motorcycles is its Z-Force® battery, the most power and energy-dense in the EV industry. This motorcycle comes equipped with the Z-Force 7.2 battery, offering up to 89 miles in city riding and 45 miles on the highway. For those seeking even more range, there’s an option to add a Power Tank accessory that expands the battery capacity by an additional 3.6 kWh. The charging process is as easy as plugging into any standard household outlet. Your home outlets become “fueling” stations that deliver daily rides at a fraction of the cost of gasoline. Plug in at night and start every day with a “full tank.
The Zero S showcases how cost effective it is by requiring minimal maintenance. The Z-Force® powertrain eliminates the mess and expense of tuneups by utilizing a carbon fiber belt that directly connects the rear wheel to a motor and uses a single moving part to deliver torque at levels beyond conventional superbikes. The Z-Force® powertrain is always advancing, with code constantly refined to deliver improved performance, easily accessible via the Zero App on your mobile device.
The S model shows why it’s one of the best of the American electric motorcycle brands out there by including top level equipment such as Showa suspension, both at the front and rear, providing a comfortable and controlled ride. The front suspension sports 41 mm inverted cartridge forks, with adjustable spring preload, compression, and rebound damping. Similarly, the rear suspension features a 40 mm piston, piggy-back reservoir shock with adjustable spring preload, compression, and rebound damping.
