Operating Your Motorcycle
This section describes how to safely operate your
motorcycle.
Starting
1. Turn the key switch to the ON position.
2. Verify that the charge indicator reads fully charged.
3. Press the motor stop switch to the ON position.
4. With the kickstand up, twist the throttle toward you
(counter-clockwise) to increase speed. When the
throttle is twisted away from you (clockwise), the speed
will decrease.
Braking
On the right handlebar is the hand operated brake lever.
The brake lever controls the front brake when the lever is
squeezed. On the right lower side, next to the foot peg, is
the foot operated brake pedal. This pedal controls the rear
brake. When braking, the throttle should be in the closed
position.
WARNING! 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 and could lead to
serious injury or death. Progressive use of the brakes
should 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
strongly recommended to perfect safe emergency stops.
Stopping
1. With the throttle in the closed position press the motor
stop 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 4.11 .
