Zero Motorcycles says that “unprecedented demand for electric motorcycles” has motivated its early release of new 2022 models, which are available now. Zero added that getting these models into dealers early will help them put “more riders on electric motorcycles than any other manufacturer.”
The 2022 Zero S, DS, and DSR are all powered with the company’s proprietary Cypher II Operating System that orchestrates all of the motorcycles’ subsystems into a transformational riding experience. That includes Bosch ABS which is standard on all three models, motor, battery, and Bluetooth connectivity module to pair the machine to the mobile app for rider customizations. In addition to the industry standard in OS for electric motorcycles, these models also received updated hardware in the form of a full-color, optically bonded, 5” TFT display that is as sharp as the performance of the underlying motorcycle.
2022 Zero S
At the heart of the new 2022 Zero S naked street bike is a proprietary Z-Force 75-5 passively air-cooled, radial flux, interior permanent magnet, brushless motor, with energy supplied by a 7.2 kWh lithium-ion battery. The same setup can be found in the 2021 Zero FXE. Zero claims the new S can manage 143km of range through city streets though that range drops to 109 km for mixed riding and produces 106 Nm of torque and 34kW of peak power with a top speed of 98 mph. The S is finished in Twilight and is priced at US $11,195 ($15,330 AUD)
2022 Zero DS
The trail-ready 2022 Zero DS (as in Dual-Sport) shares the same base configuration as the S including motor and battery, and Zero says the DS offers the same motor and battery, though gets around an 8% lower range due to its off-road optimization. The DS is available in Quicksand and is priced at US$11,195 ($15,330 AUD)
2022 Zero DSR
The 2022 Zero DSR is a high-performance variant of the DS. Although it shares the same Z-Force 75-7 brushless motor, a more powerful 14.4 kWh power pack provides a claimed putting out 52 kW and propelling the bike to 164 km/h. With the larger battery (actual capacity of 12.6 kWh) it offers a range of 262kms when used “on city streets or off road.”The DSR is finished in black and is priced at US $15,695. (AUD $21,490)
All of these new models are available for order and will be shipping today to all Zero Motorcycles Dealers worldwide. In saying that, Zero officially stopped selling their motorbikes in Australia in 2017. They've continued servicing existing units here since then but have yet to announce any return to the new bike market, but hopefully, we’ll see a return soon due to the E motorcycle boom.
