General Information
1.7
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 8.13 through
page 8.19 for these ranges.
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 your particular usage
case.
