Vehicle Range
The range of an electric vehicle is defined as the distance the
vehicle travels 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 conservatively you ride, the better range you
can expect from your Zero FX/FXE/FXS 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 FX/FXE/FXS 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.
The reported motorcycle range values in this Owner’s Manual
are measured using different standards, according to the
country the Zero motorcycle is being sold.
For Zero motorcycles sold within European countries, range is
calculated using European Union regulation EU 134/2014 Annex
VII .
For Zero motorcycles sold in all other countries, range is
calculated using the following types of industry standard test
procedures:
1. “City”: This range test is specified to determine riding during
“stop-and-go” operation typically found in urban areas. This
estimate is provided following the SAE J2982 Riding Range
Test Procedure for On-Highway Electric Motorcycles to
provide a reasonable and consistent basis for manufacturers
to inform prospective owners of the riding range that can be
expected under specified operating conditions. Actual range
will vary based on riding conditions and habits.
2. “Highway”: This test procedure uses two separate constant
speeds of 55 mph (89 km/h) and 70 mph (113 km/h) 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 on page 8.8 through
page 8.13 for these ranges.
