Zero MX Features

At the core of the Zero MX 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.

• Hydroformed top tube 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
• Bodywork is highlighted with new color graphics

Fueled by Zero Motorcycles’ proprietary lithium ion power pack, the Zero MX delivers more torque than any other motorcycle in its class. This is made possible by our power pack’s ability efficiently dump an incredibly high amount of power as soon as you punch the throttle. Using an advanced monitoring system, each cell in the power pack is individually controlled during charge and discharge. The charger integrates into this system and uses a specially developed charge profile to optimize the power pack’s recharge time.

Think of it this way, fuel systems are to gas motorcycles what 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.

To accommodate the Zero MX’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

We want you to be able to take full advantage of the rapid acceleration the Zero MX 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

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 2010 Zero MX electric motorcycle features beefier brakes all around.

• 4 piston calipers front and rear
• 9” (224 mm) rotor in front and rear
• Increased reservoir size for more responsive braking under high strain

The Zero MX custom alloy wheels are designed to reduce unsprung weight while not comprising on strength. During acceleration instant torque is efficiently channeled into the dirt through a beefy rear tire and directed using an equally aggressive front.

• Tall knobbed and grippy full size rear tire - 17X3.5
• Large lugged high strength rear rim 17 x 2.5”
• Thicker 32h 12g spokes
• Custom oversized & reinforced hub
• 1.6x19 front wheel
• Aggressive front tire 19x3.0

• Zero designed lightweight front end
• Inverted front fork to reduce unsprung weight (48 mm fork leg)
• Fully adjustable rebound and compression damping on the front
• Custom rear shock with adjustable spring preload and damping
• Unique double diamond aircraft grade aluminum rear swingarm for reduced weight and increased torsional rigidity
