10. Modifications to the motorcycle may render the
vehicle unsafe and may cause severe personal
injury. Zero Motorcycles cannot be held liable for
non-approved modifications.
11. Be very careful when loading or adding
accessories to your motorcycle. Large, bulky, or
heavy items may adversely affect the handling
and performance of your motorcycle.
Important Operating Information
1. Always turn the key switch and motor stop switch
to the OFF position when not actively riding. It is
very easy to forget that the motorcycle is powered
up because it is silent. An accident can occur if
the motorcycle is left powered up while getting on
or off the motorcycle.
2. Turn the motor stop switch OFF when backing up
or pushing the motorcycle while dismounted.
3. Use the rear brake when you are stopped on an
incline. Do not hold the motorcycle using partial
throttle or damage to the motor may occur .
4. The power pack should be plugged in when
storing the motorcycle for extended periods of
time.
5. Keep your Zero connected to the charger when
your motorcycle is sitting in storage or if it will be
sitting unused for more than 7 days.
The power pack must be charged within 24 hours
if fully discharged, and must be charged within 60
days if stored fully charged. Zero recommends
you plug in your power pack after 7 days even if it
is fully charged. Please leave your power pack
plugged in whenever possible.
WARNING: Charge the Zero power pack with the
Zero charger.
6. The power pack does not require, or tolerate,
deep discharging. To get the most power pack
life, recharge each power pack immediately after
each ride. Leaving a power pack in a discharged
state will cause damage. See Charging The
Power Pack on page 4-13.
