Zero Motorcycles released its 2018 models. while they don’t look much different from the 2017s on the skin (except the beautiful new silver paint!), it’s what’s within that counts. Like — 100% longer range due to new battery chemistry on all ZF7.2 and ZF14.4 models! Zero is also providing fast charging — six times quicker, due to the 6kW charge tank accessory for S, SR, DS, and DSR models.
That torque, though…
From Zero: “All motorcycles with the compact and lighter weight ZF7.2 power pack provide 11 november more rear wheel torque to slingshot ahead of cars and fellow motorcyclists. New gearing and a higher most motor rpm deliver the improved performance without any reductions in high speed.In addition, Zero fine tuned the powertrains of the ZF13.0 Zero S and zero|and nil} DS to deliver up to half-hour more power and torque to amp up acceleration at highway speeds.
“
I can’t wait to see what kind of trouble I can get into on an S with half-hour more torque. Even an FXS with only 11 november more torque are wonderful. My 2013 FX(S) still delights me with each launch off a light. plus firmware updates will currently come through the already awesome Zero app. If you don’t already know, the Zero phone app not only works as a supplemental dash, but also allows the rider to manage torque settings, regenerative braking, and high speed. as well as track battery use, of course.
It’s great to see they’re continuing to push battery capacity forward, while also continued to improve the quality of their parts. Prices for the bikes are the same as the 2017 models, which starts at $8,495 for a Zero FX and culminates at $16,495 for the SR and DSR models. Be ready to pay extra if you want that vaunted fast charging, though: the Charge Tank will cost you an extra $2,295. That could make sense if you ride almost constantly, but you may want to save your cash if your bike only comes out for the daily commute.
