The Zero S is an electric motorcycle made by Zero Motorcycles.
On 23 April 2009 the company announced it would establish a distribution network in the Canadian market while getting regulatory approval for selling the motorcycle in Canada.[1] It expects to start selling in Canada by early July 2009.[1]
The 2009 Zero S had an expected range of 81-kilometre (50 mi) on a full charge, with a top speed of 112 km/h (70 mph),[1] a speed it can reach in under four seconds from a standing start. The motor is rated at 22 kilowatts (30 hp).[2] The battery can be recharged using standard 110 V or 220 V plugs. A replacement battery will cost approximately $3,000.[1]
The 2014 range of Zero S have brought various improvements and the option for a powertank accessory which increases the energy by 2.8 kWh. The 2015 model added ABS brakes and 2016 brought a further increase to the battery capacity.
