Operating Your Motorcycle
Starting
1.
Turn the key switch to the ON position.
2.
Verify that the energy gauge reads fully charged.
3.
With the brake applied, press the kill switch
to the ON position.
4.
Release the brake and twist the throttle toward
you (counter-clockwise) to increase speed. When
the throttle is twisted away from you (clockwise),
the speed will decrease.
Braking
1.
On the right handlebar is a hand operated
brake lever. This brake lever controls the front
brake when the lever is squeezed.
2.
On the left handlebar is a hand operated brake
lever. This lever controls the rear brake. When
braking, the throttle should be in the neutral/
returned position.
The front and rear brake should be applied together,
with a slight amount more of braking on the front.
CAUTION:
If you apply the front or rear brake hard
enough, it is possible to lock the wheels. This could
cause you to lose control of the motorcycle. We
suggest progressive use of the brakes to bring the
Zero motorcycle to a complete stop without locking
the wheels. Your Zero motorcycle is a light weight
performance product and therefore practice is
recommended to safely perfect emergency stops.
Stopping
1. With the throttle in the neutral position and the
brake applied, press the kill switch to the OFF
position. This switch can also be used in
an emergency to shut the motor off.
2. Turn the key switch to the OFF position and
remove the key. To prevent theft, the key should
be removed anytime the motorcycle is left
unattended.
3. Be sure to charge the power pack after each ride.
See Charging The Power Pack on page 4-12.
