DIRT
FOR THE TRACK AND TRAIL
Zero X - Technical Trails
Model Information
The Zero X electric motorcycle is a full sized high performance
machine. Built from the ground up using the ultimate electric
motorcycle technology and boasting 50 ft-lbs of torque, this
stealthy motorcycle will send you racing up hills, flying over
jumps, and cutting through streams. Best part is, you can do it all
without disturbing nature or your neighbors.
After years of designing electric motorcycles we’re always looking to ‘one up’ ourselves and it shows in the latest modifications we’ve made to the 2010 Zero X electric motorcycle. It’s faster, stronger, and more durable in the most demanding terrain. We’ve upgraded elements of the drivetrain, frame, suspension and more. Inside and out it’s a better motorcycle. We know that’s great… but the part that really excites us is how much more fun you’ll have getting to the places you couldn’t go before.

Zero X - Features
|
Frame – Sculpted Aircraft Grade Aluminum Means Lighter,
Stronger, and Faster
At the core of the Zero X lies the ultimate dirt bike frame
that we’ve engineered from the ground up and hand crafted
using aircraft grade aluminum. The resulting combination of
lower weight and higher strength means more responsiveness.
In the turns and off the line this translates into greater
acceleration. To make the frame even more durable each one
is shot-peened and anodized. In engineering it’s about the little things. This is your frame if you’re looking to take on technical trails.

Motor and Energy– High Torque and Acceleration
Fueled by Zero Motorcycles’ latest proprietary lithium ion
power pack, the Zero X delivers more torque than any other
motorcycle in its class. This is made possible by our power
pack’s ability efficiently dump an incredibly high amount of
power as soon as you twist the throttle. Using an advanced
monitoring system, each cell in the power pack is
individually controlled during charge and discharge. The
charger integrates into this system and uses a specially
developed charge profile to optimize the power pack’s
recharge time. Think of it this way, fuel systems are to gas motorcycles what electrical systems are to electrical motorcycles. Where others use a small carburetor and fuel pump, we use a highly tuned fuel injection system. We’ve found a way of rapidly flowing more energy out of our power pack than any of our competitors. This means more acceleration and more fun. |

|
Drivetrain – Larger Chain and Sprockets for Increased
Durability & Longer Life
To accommodate the Zero X’s increased traction and ability
to accelerate in the dirt we use a hardened steel 420 chain
and direct drive gearing. The result is a stronger and more
durable drivetrain that puts the power from the throttle
directly into the dirt.
|
 |
|
Handling – Faster Turns and Bigger Berms
We want you to be able to take full advantage of the rapid
acceleration the Zero X has to offer. To do this we’ve taken
our riders’ handling wish list and built in the features.
The result, this electric dirt bike gives you the control
you need to for the acceleration you want.

Brakes – Stopping on a Dime in the Dirt
Because you’ll be going faster and harder on our electric
dirt bike we’ve added a few things to help slow you down.
The 2010 Zero X electric motorcycle features beefier brakes
all around.

Instrument Panel & System Upgrades – Quick Look & Easy
Access
A quick look tells you everything you need to know on the Zero X. We’ve taken all the important dials and switches and securely located them in a new instrument panel. Accompanying this, is a newer wiring system for increased safety and electrical system longevity. With a bike this desirable, you’ll also be excited to know that this motorcycle comes with a keyed ignition.

|
Rear Wheel & Tire – Hook Up on Technical Trails
The Zero X comes with a beefy tire and wheel on the rear for
increased traction and durability. This means quicker
acceleration, faster hill climbs, and more fun.
|
 |
The ‘extreme package’ is for those wanting to ride even
harder and faster. Upgrades include a more powerful motor
and a stronger/smoother front fork.
Higher Power Motor – More Acceleration & Speed
This is your motor if you’re looking to leverage all the
latest Zero X upgrades and push your motorcycle (or
yourself) to the limit. It offers higher torque and
increased acceleration.
Stronger & Smoother Fork
For more aggressive riders this package includes a new
stronger and smoother front fork that’s fully
adjustable. Using an inverted design this White Brothers
fork takes the pounding of the trail and hides it away
in custom designed springs, valves, and dampening.
