Zero Owner's Manual (FX and FXS).book Page 6 Thursday, April 5, 2018 10:32 AMGeneral InformationGeneral InformationEmissions InformationVehicle RangeThe Zero FX/FXS electric motorcycle is a truefreeway-capable zero-emissions vehicle under CaliforniaAir Resources Board (CARB), U.S. Federal (EPA), andEuropean Union standards. It uses no gasoline or otherliquid fuel. It has no tailpipe and therefore no tailpipeemissions. It also has no exhaust or evaporativeemissions. Because the Zero FX/FXS runs solely onelectricity, it is the only kind of vehicle which actually getscleaner in terms of air pollution each year, as the electricitygrid gets cleaner and more renewable. Zero EmissionsVehicles (ZEV’s) offer greater efficiency, and can helpsolve the serious air pollution, global warming, and energysecurity problems facing the country and the world.The range of an electric vehicle is defined as the distancethe vehicle travels on a single full charge of the powerpack. Just like EPA mileage estimates on an automobile,“your mileage may vary.” Your range results are a directreflection of your riding habits. The more conservativelyyou ride, the better range you can expect from your ZeroFX/FXS motorcycle.CAUTION: Please use only Zero approved parts andaccessories for your Zero Motorcycle. Parts andaccessories for your Zero Motorcycle have been checkedand tested for safety and suitability. Zero is unable toaccept any liability whatsoever for parts and accessorieswhich have not been approved.We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first getyour Zero FX/FXS motorcycle, and get to know yourmotorcycle and your commute. Once you become familiarwith the range versus performance of your motorcycle,then you can adjust your riding characteristics if you sodesire. This applies mainly to riders with trip profiles whichare at the edge of the performance envelope.Some of the factors which affect range include: speed,acceleration, number of starts and stops, ambient airtemperature, as well as changes in elevation. Thecombination of these factors, as you travel from one pointto another, defines your trip profile. In addition, tirepressure and payload are important considerations.The reported motorcycle range values in this Owner’sManual are measured using different standards accordingto the country the Zero motorcycle is being sold in.1.6
Zero Owner's Manual (FX and FXS).book Page 7 Thursday, April 5, 2018 10:32 AMGeneral InformationFor Zero motorcycles sold within European countries,range is calculated using European Union regulation EU134/2014 Annex VII.For Zero motorcycles sold in all other countries, range iscalculated using the following types of industry standardtest procedures:1. “City”: This range test is specified to determine ridingduring “stop-and-go” operation typically found in urbanareas. This estimate is provided following the SAEJ2982 Riding Range Test Procedure for On-HighwayElectric Motorcycles to provide a reasonable andconsistent basis for manufacturers to informprospective owners of the riding range that can beexpected under specified operating conditions. Actualrange will vary based on riding conditions and habits.2. “Highway”: This test procedure uses two separateconstant speeds of 55 mph (89 km/h) and 70 mph(113 km/h) to simulate highway riding.Both of these test procedures are run on a single charge,in order to report the associated measured range values.Range values labeled “Combined” are based on acalculation that assumes a duty cycle comprised of 50%City / 50% Highway.Maximizing Your RangeRange varies in electric motorcycles similarly to how itvaries in gas motorcycles. However, the big differencebetween electric and gas is that energy consumption isaveraged over a shorter distance on an electricmotorcycle. Electric motorcycles are designed forconvenient daily recharges versus less frequent and lessconvenient trips to the gas station. As a result, the sameelectric motorcycle often yields different ranges from onefull recharge to the next.How to Predict the RangeTo generally predict how an electric motorcycle’s range willbe affected, you can use the four factors: routeriderweathermotorcycleBy considering each of these factors, you can usespecifications such as ‘city range’ as standards to estimatewhat the motorcycle’s real world range will be under yourparticular usage case.See technical specification charts on page 8.1 throughpage 8.7 for these ranges.1.7

Zero Owner's Manual (FX and FXS).book Page 2 Thursday, April 5, 2018 10:32 AMGeneral Safety PrecautionsImportant Operating InformationSeveral operating considerations are listed below: Always turn the key switch and motor stop switch to theOFF position when not actively riding. It is very easy toforget that the motorcycle is powered up because it issilent. An accident can occur if the motorcycle is leftpowered up while getting on or off the motorcycle. Turn the motor stop switch OFF when backing up orpushing the motorcycle while dismounted. Use the rear brake when you are stopped on an incline.Do not hold the motorcycle using partial throttle ordamage to the motor may occur. Plug your motorcycle into an AC power source torecharge it after each use. Once recharged, disconnectfrom the AC power source. Leaving your motorcycleunplugged between charges will maximize thelong-term health of the power pack. You should alsouse the supplied cable as it is designed for use withyour motorcycle’s electrical components. While unplugged with the key in the OFF position, themotorcycle’s electronics will consume a very smallamount of power and the power pack will drainextremely slowly. If you don’t ride for an extendedperiod of time (30 days or more), you may want to plugthe motorcycle into an AC power source to charge it fora few hours prior to your next ride.2.2CAUTION: Only charge the Zero power pack with themotorcycle’s on-board charger or the approved Zeroaccessory charger. The power pack does not require nor benefit from deepdischarging. To get the most power pack life, rechargeeach power pack immediately after each ride. Leavinga power pack in a discharged state will cause damage. Failure to follow power pack storage and charginginstructions as described in this Owner’s Manual mayvoid the warranty of your Zero Motorcycle. Theseguidelines have been rigorously tested to ensuremaximum power pack efficiency and service.
