Munich, 20 September 2013 – A little bit to get the right already like in a science fiction. The bike started under accelerated as the catapult, it hums but almost inaudibly to himself. No clutch, no gear lever. Only fly to the next space station can not unfortunately. The DS IF 11.4 is the latest generation electric motorcycles from Zero Motorcycles.
also looks finally like a motorcycle and not like an accident between a bicycle and a shoe box. That the California electric motorcycle manufacturer presented with quite pleasing sleek details like the delicate tail, a entliehenem of the Yamaha MT-03 headlight, black anodized aluminum handlebars and trendy rear view mirrors. Only at second glance you will notice the lack of internal combustion engine. Cleverly concealed by a belly pan, put it between the massively oversized aluminum frame tubes, a large battery. Actually, it is even of four modules – each about 2,000 euros expensive for themselves – with a total capacity of 11.4 kilowatt-hours.
Fastest Production Electric Motorcycle
This is the Zero to amazing performance and capable of carrying the blue ribbon of the fastest production electric bikes . Electric motorcycles so far suffered from a lack of dynamism and often reached only with a lot of start-up speed 100 But above all, it came with one battery charge hardly from downtown to the city limits without holding already dashing for the nearest power outlet out.
The days are gone. The Zero DS provides 40 kilowatts or more understandable: 54 hp. Even more impressive, however, is the torque of 92 Nm. By comparison, the BMW F 800 GS with a 798-cubic-combustion engine, it just brings to 83 Nm. With a weight of 179 kg, the Zero DS is able therefore to imposing spurts.
