ZERO XU — COMPletely neW fOr 2011The Zero XU is new for Zero Motorcycles in 2011 and marks the fifth model to be added to the product line. With instant torque from zero rpm, a low

weight, a low seat height and a removable power pack, the Zero XU is the ultimate electric motorcycle for those who live in the city. Designed to be

incredibly robust and durable, it leverages the time tested Zero X platform and features a complete set of specialized street gear that is highlighted by a

stylish body. In addition, its comfortable riding position and no-shift operation allows riders of any experience level to feel both comfortable and confident.

Bringing Zero Motorcycles product offerings to a completely new population, the Zero XU is the world’s first street motorcycle that enables owners to

essentially charge anywhere by way of a removable power pack and optional stand-alone charger. This opens the doors to interested buyers who do not

have access to garage or street-level charging at their homes or apartments. The removable pack also allows for essentially non-stop usage by enabling

individuals, or fleet users, to quickly swap power packs. As with all Zero Motorcycles products, the Zero XU is offered with a quick-charge option that

cuts the recharge time down by around fifty percent. The additional charger that enables quick-charging can also be used to charge the power pack

separately from the motorcycle. Those who own a 2011 Zero X or Zero MX can use their power packs interchangeably with the new Zero XU.
