2015 Zero Electric motorcycles

Electric bike manufacturer Zero has entered full production for its 2015 model line, with manufacturing underway for the new bikes at its Scotts Valley, California facility.

Following record sales in 2014, the company has made substantial investments in technology and people, placing additional resources to expand its “Crafted in California” vision.

"We've taken everything learned from building thousands of electric motorcycles and applied it to new manufacturing processes. To meet the increased demand from customers, we've added new jobs here at our California factory," said Kai Hypko, VP of Operations for Zero Motorcycles.

"Highly advanced tools, improved systems and more skilled workers will allow us to continue to increase our production capacity and ensure premium quality," he added.

The 2015 motorcycles rolling out of the California factory feature numerous advancements from their predecessors. Showa suspension improves comfort and control. Zero's class-leading range—now up to nearly 300 kilometres—is extended on most models. And, Zero becomes the first production electric motorcycle to feature anti-lock brakes (ABS).

"Our 2015 lineup continues to lead the industry in overall range, performance and technology," said Abe Askenazi, Chief Technology Officer at Zero Motorcycles. "For 2015, we focused our efforts on refining virtually every element of the vehicle—from the tires up—to give riders the most pure, seamless experience available."

Dealerships in North America will start receiving the new models by end of January 2015, while European delivery is scheduled for February 2015. Initial production will be dedicated to motorcycles that will be used for test rides via Zero Motorcycles dealers.
