Useful Information For Safe Riding
This manual contains the word CAUTION to indicate
something that could hurt you or others. It also contains
the word WARNING to indicate things that could damage
your motorcycle.
CAUTION: Please read this manual carefully and
completely before operating this motorcycle. Do not
attempt to operate this motorcycle until you have attained
adequate knowledge of its controls and operating features,
and until you have been trained in safe and proper riding
techniques. Regular inspections and proper maintenance,
along with good riding skills, will help you to safely enjoy
the capabilities and the reliability of this motorcycle.
Disregarding the aforementioned, however, may render
the warranty invalid.
This symbol is located in various locations
on the motorcycle to inform you that
exposure to high voltage can cause shock,
burns and even death.
The high voltage components on the motorcycle should be
serviced by technicians with special training.
High voltage cable or wiring has an orange covering. Do
not probe, tamper with, cut, or modify high voltage cable or
wiring.
Plug in Your Z-Force Power Pack™
WARNING! Proper care of the motorcycle’s power pack is
essential! When not in use, the power pack should be left
on the charger even if fully charged. Failure to do so could
damage the power pack and therefore void your power
pack warranty. See page 4-5 for other important
information about the power pack.

Power Pack Serial Number
The Power Pack serial number is located on the upper
right rear of the power pack.
Motor Serial Number
The motor serial number is stamped on the motor housing.
Key Code Number
The key code is a 5 digit number used to create duplicate
keys. This number is located on a tag that accompanies
the original keys.
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is found on the
FX/XU Street Legal.
Note: A Production Identification Number (PIN) is found on
the MX Dirt bike.
The VIN is a 17-digit number stamped on the head tube of
the frame (A). Do not alter or remove this as it is the legal
identifier for your motorcycle.

Vehicle Range
The range of an electric vehicle is defined as the distance
the vehicle will travel on a single full charge of the power
pack. Just like EPA mileage estimates on an automobile,
“your mileage may vary.” Your range results are a direct
reflection of your riding habits. The more conservative you
ride the better range you can expect from your Zero
Motorcycle.
Some of the factors which affect range include speed,
acceleration, number of starts and stops, ambient air
temperature as well as changes in elevation. The
combination of these factors, as you travel from one point
to another, defines your trip profile. In addition, tire
pressure and payload are important considerations.
We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first get
your Zero Motorcycle, and get to know your motorcycle
and your commute. Once you become familiar with the
range versus performance of your motorcycle, then you
can adjust your riding characteristics if you so desire. This
applies mainly to riders with trip profiles which are at the
edge of the performance envelope. Those individuals with
relatively short commutes can expect to ride quite
aggressively and reach their destination with energy to
spare.
Reported motorcycle range values are measured using
two different types of industry standard test procedures:
1. “City (EPA UDDS)”: This test procedure uses a duty
cycle known as the “Universal Dynamometer Driving
Schedule (UDDS)”, which was developed by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in order to
simulate city-type riding.
2. “Highway”: This test procedure uses two separate
constant speeds of 55 mph and 70 mph to simulate
highway riding.
Both of these test procedures are run on a single charge,
in order to report the associated measured range values.
Range values labeled “Combined” are based on a
calculation that assumes a duty cycle comprised of 50%
City / 50% Highway.
See technical specification charts beginning on page 1-6
through page 1-10 for these ranges.

Public Charging Stations
There are more public charging stations coming online
every day and there may be some in your area. You can
charge from a public charging station with either the
optional J1772 Zero Motorcycle accessory or a CHAdeMO
Zero Motorcycle accessory. These stations are often
available at a variety of locations including shopping
centers, city parking lots, airports, hotels, government
offices, and other businesses. We recommend that you
search the internet for locations in your area. For example,
search for “charging stations.”
CHAdeMO Charger
Your Zero Motorcycle can utilize a quick charging
CHAdeMO charger system. A CHAdeMO charger can
charge your motorcycle in about one hour. For additional
information contact your Zero Motorcycle dealer.
Maximizing Your Range
Range varies in electric motorcycles similarly to how it
varies in gas motorcycles. However, the big difference
between electric and gas is that energy consumption is
averaged over a shorter distance on an electric
motorcycle. Electric motorcycles are designed for
convenient daily recharges versus less frequent and less
convenient trips to the gas station. As a result, the same
electric motorcycle often yields different ranges from one
full recharge to the next.
How to Predict the Range
To generally predict how an electric motorcycle’s range will
be affected, you can use the four factors:
route
rider
weather
motorcycle
By considering each of these factors, you can use
specifications such as ‘city range’ as standards to estimate
what the motorcycle’s real world range will be under the
your particular usage case.

Emissions Information
The Zero electric motorcycle is a true freeway capable
zero emissions vehicle under California Air Resources
Board (CARB), U.S. Federal (EPA), and European Union
standards. It uses no gasoline or other liquid fuel. It has no
tailpipe and therefore no tailpipe emissions. It also has no
exhaust or evaporative emissions. Because the Zero
Motorcycle runs solely on electricity, it is the only kind of
vehicle which actually gets cleaner in terms of air pollution
each year, as the electricity grid gets cleaner and more
renewable. Zero Emissions Vehicles (ZEV’s) offer greater
efficiency, and can help solve the serious air pollution,
global warming, and energy security problems facing the
country and the world.
WARNING! Please use only Zero approved parts and
accessories for your Zero Motorcycle. Parts and
accessories for your Zero Motorcycle have been checked
and tested for safety and suitability. Zero is unable to
accept any liability whatsoever for parts and accessories
which have not been approved.
