13 2015 LAUNCH OVERVIEW ZERO MOTORCYCLES 2015 PRODUCT LINE ANNOUNCEMENT AS SEEN IN ZERO MOTORCYCLES CORPORATE PRESS RELEASE SANTA CRUZ, CA (Sept. 30, 2014) Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced its 2015 model line with premium new standard equipment including Showa suspension, Bosch anti-lock brake systems and Pirelli tires. The refinements are designed to transform the already exhilarating ride experience by offering incredibly smooth suspension, optimal braking responsiveness and unrivaled traction. To increase range, Zero introduced new battery cells with 10% greater capacity on the Zero S, Zero SR and Zero DS. When combined with the Power Tank accessory this yields an industry leading range of up to 185 miles in the city, 94 miles on the highway at 70 mph or 115 miles at 55 mph. For 2015 we have further redefined the motorcycle experience by creating a lineup that delivers, quite possibly, the most seamless and pure ride of any motorcycle ever manufactured, said Richard Walker, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. With no shifting, up to 106 ft-lb of instant torque and a host of new technical improvements that offer premium comfort and control, we invite all consumers to go for a ride on these impressive new machines. The new lineup will arrive at North American dealerships in December and during late February for Europe. Beyond improvements in suspension, brakes and batteries, the 2015 lineup features a host of new design elements and componentry. Freshly designed cast alloy wheels on the Zero S, Zero SR and Zero DS incorporate a carrier-less front rotor and hollow front axle to reduce unsprung weight. Riders will notice stylish new mirrors that provide excellent rearward visibility and reduce motorcycle width. Improved seat ergonomics and softer grips enhance comfort. A more robust throttle controls the Z-Force motor s instantaneous torque. The latest California-built electric motorcycles leverage proven Z-Force technology. Following years of evolution and refinement, the powertrain has been instrumental in Zero being awarded Best Electric Motorcycle by multiple publications around the globe. After years of development, thousands of customers around the world and the announcement of an industry leading 5-year power pack warranty, Zero Motorcycles is the driving force of the electric motorcycle industry. Zero worked in close collaboration with Showa to develop suspension systems that are optimized for each specific model, said Abe Askenazi, CTO of Zero Motorcycles. The resulting ride quality is fantastic. When combined with Bosch s carefully tuned ABS on newly engineered brake systems and Pirelli tires, every Zero has once again been transformed. By staying focused on carefully selected motorcycle categories, Zero has kept their product line diverse enough to meet the needs of a wide variety of riders and lean enough to offer customers refinements without substantial increases to suggested retail pricing. As a result, the premium upgrades to the 2015 line will only cost riders around $400 more for very significant improvements. 13
