Federal Tax Credit Ends Soon
10% back on motorcycles
30% back on charging equipment
Buyers of plug-in electric motorcycles enjoy a 10% federal tax credit on their purchase. However, this incentive expires on 12/31/16, and it is unlikely to be renewed. With 2017 models arriving at dealers, now is the time to take advantage of significant savings on a new Zero.
The Electric Motorcycle Federal Tax Credit, also known as the 2-wheeled plug-in tax credit, covers 10% of the purchase price of a Zero, up to $2,500. Plus, electric motorcycle chargers (e.g., Zero Quick Charger) are eligible for a 30% tax credit up to $1,000.
The universal reaction to riding the Zero DS has been, “This is the future of motorcycling.” With a flat torque curve, excellent ergonomics and lightning quick handling, the DS is a great showcase for the incredible capabilities of an electric motorcycle. We have a demo in stock currently, and test rides are heavily encouraged so call to schedule an appointment to get yourself a taste of the future of motorcycling!
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 powertrain and fully adjustable suspension. 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.

REVOLUTIONARY Z-FORCE® MOTOR
Up to 70 hp, 116 ft-lb…and incredibly efficient
Zero Motorcycles designed the Z-Force® motor from the ground up to be compact, efficient and powerful. It delivers exhilarating acceleration to a top speed of 98 mph on the Zero DSR. Completely air-cooled, the motor provides a fantastic riding experience, minus the need for any regular maintenance. When slowing down, the motor generates electricity that is channeled back into the power pack to help extend ride times.
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.
SHOWA SUSPENSION
THE MAGIC RIDE
Zero worked in close collaboration with Showa to develop suspension systems that provide excellent small bump compliance, predictable control of bigger impacts and exceptionally smooth action under all conditions. Torsional rigidity of the front end improves handling, and a hollow front axle reduces unsprung weight. Suspension settings are completely customizable to meet the demands of a wide variety of riders.
BOSCH ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
POWERFUL. PRECISE. CONTROL.
The Zero DS features an advanced Bosch anti-lock brake system (ABS) that improves control in a wide array of conditions and ensures the best braking performance, while a large 320 mm diameter carrier-less rotor increases stopping power.
WHEELS AND TIRES
PAVED ROAD. DIRT ROAD. NO ROAD.
Pirelli tires are standard on the Zero DS, providing great traction in a wide variety of conditions, excellent durability and road feel. The tires are mounted to stylish cast alloy wheels that feature durable wheel bearings.
DASH AND CONTROLS
IMPRESSIVE INFORMATION. ELEGANTLY DISPLAYED.
The dash is designed by Zero to quickly and accurately provide useful data on such information as state of charge, power output and your selected riding profile. You can toggle through three riding profiles, using the ergonomic right-hand switch gear, to better meet the needs of your ride: Sport, Eco, Custom. The dash screen features a cool blue backlit LCD display and integrates seamlessly into the front of the motorcycle. Want more information about the motorcycle while riding or at home?
