Emissions Information
The Zero electric motorcycle is a zero emissions
vehicle under California Air Resources Board (CARB),
U.S. Federal (EPA), and European Union standards. It
uses no gasoline or other liquid fuel. It has no
tailpipe and therefore no tailpipe emissions. It also
has no exhaust or evaporative emissions. Because
the Zero runs solely on electricity, it is the only kind of
vehicle which actually gets cleaner in terms of air
pollution each year, as the electricity grid gets cleaner
and more renewable.
Public Charging Stations
There are more public charging stations coming
on-line every day and there may be some in your
area. You can charge from a public charging station
with the optional J1772 Zero motorcycle accessory.
These stations are often available at a variety of
locations including shopping centers, city parking lots,
airports, hotels, government offices, and other
businesses. We recommend that you search the
internet for locations in your area. For example,
search for “charging stations.”
Optimizing Your Range By Adapting
Your Riding Style
•
Apply the throttle slowly and try to match the
motorcycle’s acceleration with your throttle
position.
•
Hard acceleration will decrease your range.
•
Coasting whenever possible makes a significant
difference; the motorcycle will coast for a long
distance (take advantage of this).
•
The regenerative braking system on deceleration
(XU only) takes some of the energy from the
motor and turns it back into electrical energy. This
energy is then stored back into the power pack.
See technical specification charts on page 1-7
through 1-12 for these ranges.
