Frame – Sculpted Aircraft Grade Aluminum Means Lighter, Stronger, and Faster
At the core of the Zero X lies the ultimate dirt bike frame that we’ve engineered from the ground up and hand crafted using aircraft grade aluminum. The resulting combination of lower weight and higher strength means more responsiveness. In the turns and off the line this translates into greater acceleration. To make the frame even more durable each one is shot-peened and anodized.

In engineering it’s about the little things. This is your frame if you’re looking to take on technical trails.
  • Hydroformed top tube for increased strength & reduced weight
  • Massive swingarm for increased strength & torsional rigidity (better cornering and tracking)
  • Large cylindrical swingarm cross tube for increased stiffness & suspension response
  • Thru-axle rear hub for exponentially increased strength & rigidity
  • Entire frame is shot-peened and anodized for resistance to corrosion and abrasion
  • Organic frame gusseting for increased strength & smoother body lines
  • Bodywork is highlighted with new color graphics

Motor and Energy– High Torque and Acceleration
Fueled by Zero Motorcycles’ latest proprietary lithium ion power pack, the Zero X delivers more torque than any other motorcycle in its class. This is made possible by our power pack’s ability efficiently dump an incredibly high amount of power as soon as you twist the throttle. Using an advanced monitoring system, each cell in the power pack is individually controlled during charge and discharge. The charger integrates into this system and uses a specially developed charge profile to optimize the power pack’s recharge time.

Think of it this way, fuel systems are to gas motorcycles what electrical systems are to electrical motorcycles. Where others use a small carburetor and fuel pump, we use a highly tuned fuel injection system. We’ve found a way of rapidly flowing more energy out of our power pack than any of our competitors. This means more acceleration and more fun.

Zero X Electric Motorcycle Power Pack and Frame

Drivetrain – Larger Chain and Sprockets for Increased Durability & Longer Life
To accommodate the Zero X’s increased traction and ability to accelerate in the dirt we use a hardened steel 420 chain and direct drive gearing. The result is a stronger and more durable drivetrain that puts the power from the throttle directly into the dirt.
  • Hardened steel 420 Chain
  • Front & rear accompanying 420 Sprockets
  • Larger rear sprocket mounting/bolt pattern for increased durability and better management of high torque acceleration

Handling – Faster Turns and Bigger Berms
We want you to be able to take full advantage of the rapid acceleration the Zero X has to offer. To do this we’ve taken our riders’ handling wish list and built in the features. The result, this electric dirt bike gives you the control you need to for the acceleration you want.
  • Direct mount (to fork crown) double clam stem for increased rigidity and control
  • Increased rise and reduced reach stem for better control & stability
  • Wider, taller, and stronger full sized dirt bike handlebar
  • Higher strength hardened race headset for longer life & smoother turning

Brakes – Stopping on a Dime in the Dirt
Because you’ll be going faster and harder on our electric dirt bike we’ve added a few things to help slow you down. The 2010 Zero X electric motorcycle features beefier brakes all around.
  • 4 piston calipers front and rear
  • 9”(224 mm) rotors in the front and rear
  • Increased reservoir size for more responsive braking under high strain

Instrument Panel & System Upgrades – Quick Look & Easy Access

A quick look tells you everything you need to know on the Zero X. We’ve taken all the important dials and switches and securely located them in a new instrument panel. Accompanying this, is a newer wiring system for increased safety and electrical system longevity. With a bike this desirable, you’ll also be excited to know that this motorcycle comes with a keyed ignition.

  • Easy access to gauges and switches – ‘quick look’ clustered instrumentation
  • “Armed” light for increased awareness & safety
  • Key switch with solenoid for added safety, peace of mind, security and ease of use
  • Flush mounted rockers switches for speed settings (easy/sport and 30/50mph)
  • Integrated battery power connector for ease of use and durability
  • Integrated battery fuse for added safety in handling and adverse circumstances

Rear Wheel & Tire – Hook Up on Technical Trails
The Zero X comes with a beefy tire and wheel on the rear for increased traction and durability. This means quicker acceleration, faster hill climbs, and more fun.
  • Tall knobbed and grippy full size rear tire - 17X3.5
  • Large lugged high strength rear rim 17 x 2.5”
  • Thicker 12g spokes
  • Custom oversized & reinforced hub

Extreme Package – Adding more power to already high performance
The ‘extreme package’ is for those wanting to ride even harder and faster. Upgrades include a more powerful motor and a stronger/smoother front fork.
    Higher Power Motor – More Acceleration & Speed
    This is your motor if you’re looking to leverage all the latest Zero X upgrades and push your motorcycle (or yourself) to the limit. It offers higher torque and increased acceleration.
    • German built high torque/ high power perm motor
    • 10% more power than the stock motor for greater acceleration
    • Greater acceleration
    • Lighter weight and more compact
    • Higher efficiency
    Stronger & Smoother Fork
    Internals are Custom Made Specifically for the Zero X
    For more aggressive riders this package includes a new stronger and smoother front fork that’s fully adjustable. Using an inverted design this White Brothers fork takes the pounding of the trail and hides it away in custom designed springs, valves, and dampening.
    • Inverted design for rigidity & increased responsiveness
    • Custom valved & sprung for the 2010 Zero X with manufacturers' engineering team
