Zero Brings Its Most Adventure-Ready Electric Dual Sport to US


Recommended Posts

Zero DSR Black Forest Dual Sport Announced

Zero Motorcycles has announced its updated 2020 electric bike lineup, featuring new colors, graphics and a revamped next-gen App. But the bigger news for 2020 is the introduction of the DSR Black Forest model to America – a bike the company proudly calls “the most capable adventure-ready electric motorcycle on the planet.”

The previous Europe-only model enters the U.S. market as the flagship dual sport motorcycle in the Zero 2020 lineup. Deriving from the DSR 14.4 kWh platform, the Black Forest Edition silently churns out 70 horsepower and a whopping 116 ft-lb of torque available from a standstill for instantaneous throttle response. Acceleration is delivered through a carbon-fiber belt that directly connects the motor to the rear wheel.

At the heart of Zero motorcycles is the Z-Force motor, which requires no liquid or forced-air cooling and no routine maintenance. The flagship bike is further equipped with three lockable cases for ample storage, a touring seat, hand guards plus crash bars, LED auxiliary lights and a headlight protector for off-road use.

But what about the most common concern with electric motorcycles?…Range. The DSR Black Forest comes with an exclusive 14.4 kWh power pack (double the range of the base DS model), good for a claimed range of 157 miles in the city and 88 miles on the highway. Battery capacity can be boosted further with an optional Power Tank that increases range to a claimed 196 miles in the city or 110 miles on the highway.

Like the other Zero dual sport models, the Black Forest Edition can be easily charged overnight from any standard household outlet without any additional installations. Adding the Charge Tank option allows you to charge the battery up to 95% capacity in just 2 hours, by making the bike compatible with faster Level 2 charging stations.

“With the year-over-year growth of fast charge stations around the United States, riding has become more accessible than ever,” said Sam Paschel, CEO. “The 2020 line ensures riders can experience their adventures and push for new places with the effortless experience of taking their motorcycle wherever they would like to go.”

Complementing the powerful Cypher operating systems, every 2020 Zero Motorcycle features updated Next Gen smartphone integration via a dedicated app. With a few toggles, riders can customize performance profiles such as top speed, torque and max regenerative braking. Charging status, updates and diagnostics can also be easily accessed through the Android and Apple compatible app.

The DSR Black Forest Edition starts at $18,995 and is available with various accessories and upgrades. If that sticker price is a bit hard to digest, the standard DSR model retails at $15,495. It is not kitted-out like the Black Forest model but it comes with the higher capacity 14.4 kwh battery. Also, keep in mind there are several states that offer attractive electric vehicle tax incentives to make it more affordable. Add to that the elimination of costs such as regular motor maintenance, oil changes, spark plugs, clutches, filters, fuel or chain maintenance and the price may begin to sound like a good value.
