Zero DS | DSR | BLACK FOREST
Effortless Adventure
For those eager to push electric into uncharted territories, the true hero of the Zero Motorcycles dual sport lineup is the DSR Black Forest Edition. It is the most capable adventure-ready electric motorcycle on the planet. Explore new roads without all the noise.
Torque Beast
The Zero DS delivers silent stump-pulling torque, churning up to an outrageous 116 ft-lb—more than any fuel-burning production literbike. Twist the throttle. With this stealth force hurling you forward, you’ll easily leave gas bikes behind.
No shifting, vibration or fumes. The industry leading Z-Force® power-train effortlessly drives your adventure as your motorcycle seems to silently disappear beneath you.
Always Dialed
Crossing from smooth asphalt to loose gravel fire roads? All good. Change performance profiles at the press of a button to master any terrain. The Zero DS is pre-programmed with Eco or Sport modes and performance can be fully customized using the Zero Motorcycles app where you can also see detailed ride stats.
Charge up to 6x faster
Grab lunch. Have a coffee. Recharge. Live your life while adding up to 94 miles of range for every hour you’re plugged in. The Charge Tank option is compatible with Level 2 charge stations and delivers roughly 6x faster charging than when compared to a standard wall outlet. Depending on the battery, a typical recharge can now take as little as an hour.
Charging.
Meet household outlet.
No special equipment required: your standard household outlets can be used as fueling stations for a fraction of the cost of gasoline. Plug in at night and start the day with a full tank.
Pull the plug on maintenance
Blast down a fire road. Get dirty. Live in the moment. At the end of your adventure the Zero DS only asks that you plug in. No need to replace clogged filters or dirty oil. The Z-Force® powertrain eliminates the fossil burner mess, trading oil, spark plugs, clutches and filters for a motor with a single moving part. The Zero DS’s ripping acceleration is delivered through a carbon fiber belt that directly connects the motor to the rear wheel. Chain maintenance is a thing of the past.
Zero’s Z-Force® power-trains are constantly advancing with code updates that deliver performance improvements. These updates are delivered through the Zero App, which download directly from your mobile device to your bike.
Long Range Battery Tech
The Zero DS carries the highest power and energy density battery in the EV industry. With over thirteen years of rigorous off-road experience, the Z-Force® battery confidently delivers you to your destination.
Select the battery size that works for you. Ride up to 328 kilometers city / 156 kilometers highway with an 18 kWh battery by adding a Power Tank accessory to the Zero DSR ZF14.4. Or, shed weight and gain storage space with the Zero DS ZF7.2.
Builds
The Zero DS is available with performance, range and charging options to fit your daily adventures. Each build is compatible with the Charge Tank option or Power Tank accessory. Add a Charge Tank to recharge in 1-2 hours (based on battery size). Need maximum range? The Power Tank adds about 60 kilometers of range in the city or 30 kilometers on the highway.
