Frame - Sculpted Aircraft Grade Aluminum Means Lighter, Stronger, and Faster
At the core of the Zero X lies the ultimate dirt bike frame that we’ve engineered from the ground up and hand crafted using aircraft grade aluminum. The resulting combination of lower weight and higher strength means more responsiveness. In the turns and off the line this translates into greater acceleration. To make the frame even more durable each one is shot-peened and anodized.
Power System Type: Patent-pending lithium ion array
Capacity: 2 kWh (58volts @ 35Ah)
Range: 45 minutes to 2 hours; Or up to 40 miles (64 km)
Recharge time: 2 hours
Input: Standard 110V or 220V
In engineering it’s about the little things. Building off of the already successful 2008, this year’s improvements add significant strength and rigidity. This is your frame if you’re looking to jump higher and land harder.
Hydroformed top tub for increased strength & reduced weight
Massive swingarm for increased strength & torsional rigidity (better cornering and tracking)
Large cylindrical swingarm cross tube for increased stiffness & suspension response
Thru-axle rear hub for exponentially increased strength & rigidity
Entire frame is shot-peened and anodized for resistance to corrosion and abrasion
Organic frame gusseting for increased strength & smoother body lines
New number plate that also doubles as part of the electrical system
Motor and Energy– High Torque and Acceleration
Fueled by Zero Motorcycles’ proprietary lithium ion power pack, the Zero X delivers more torque than any other motorcycle in its class. This is made possible by our power pack’s ability to efficiently deliver an incredibly high amount of power as soon as you punch the throttle. Think of it this way, fuel systems are to gas motorcycles as electrical systems are to electrical motorcycles. Where others use a small carburetor and fuel pump, we use a highly tuned fuel injection system. We’ve found a way of rapidly flowing more energy out of our power pack than any of our competitors. This means more acceleration and more fun.
Drivetrain – Larger Chain and Sprockets for Increased Durability & Longer Life
To accommodate the Zero X’s increased traction and ability to accelerate in the dirt we use a hardened steel 420 chain and direct drive gearing. The result is a stronger and more durable drivetrain that puts the power from the throttle directly into the dirt.
Hardened steel 420 Chain
Front & rear accompanying 420 Sprockets
Larger rear sprocket mounting/bolt pattern for increased durability and better management of high torque acceleration
Handling – Faster Turns and Bigger Berms
We want you to be able to take full advantage of the rapid acceleration the Zero X has to offer. To do this we’ve taken our riders’ handling wish list and built in the features. The result, this electric dirt bike gives you the control you need to for the acceleration you want.
Direct mount (to fork crown) double clam stem for increased rigidity and control
Increased rise and reduced reach stem for better control & stability
Wider, taller, and stronger full sized dirt bike handlebar
Higher strength hardened race headset for longer life & smoother turning
Brakes – Stopping on a Dime in the Dirt
Because you’ll be going faster and harder on our electric dirt bike we’ve added a few things to help slow you down. The 2009 Zero X electric motorcycle features beefier brakes all around.
4 pot calipers front and rear
Larger 9” rotor in front
Increased reservoir size for more responsive braking under high strain
High thermal mass rear rotor for improved heat transfer
Instrument Panel & System Upgrades – Quick Look & Easy Access
A quick look tells you everything you need to know on the Zero X. We’ve taken all the important dials and switches and centrally located them in a new instrument panel. Accompanying this, is a newer wiring system for increased safety and electrical system longevity. With a bike this desirable, you’ll also be excited to know that this motorcycle comes with a keyed ignition.
Easy access to gauges and switches – ‘quick look’ clustered instrumentation
"Armed" light for increased awareness & safety
Key switch with solenoid for added safety, peace of mind, security and ease of use
New flush mounted rockers switches for speed settings (easy/sport and 30/60mph)
Integrated battery power connector for ease of use and durability
Integrated battery fuse for added safety in handling and adverse circumstances
Rear Wheel & Tire – Hook Up on Technical Trails
The Zero X comes with a beefy tire and wheel on the rear for increased traction and durability. This means quicker acceleration, faster hill climbs, and more fun.
Tall knobbed and grippy full size rear tire - 17X3.5
Large lugged high strength rear rim 17 x 2.5”
Thicker 12g spokes
Custom oversized & reinforced hub
Horsepower:23 Suspension Front:7 - 8 inches (178 - 203 mm) Suspension Rear:9 inches (229 mm) Brakes Front:4 Pot Hydraulic, Stainless Rotor, Hand Actuated Brakes Rear:4 Pot Hydraulic, Stainless Rotor, Hand Actuated Tires Front: 20 x 3.0 inches Tires Rear:17 x 3.5 inches
