General Information
Emissions Information
The Zero FX/FXS electric motorcycle is a true
freeway-capable zero-emissions vehicle under California
Air Resources Board (CARB), U.S. Federal (EPA), and
European Union standards. It uses no gasoline or other
liquid fuel. It has no tailpipe and therefore no tailpipe
emissions. It also has no exhaust or evaporative
emissions. Because the Zero FX/FXS runs solely on
electricity, it is the only kind of vehicle which actually gets
cleaner in terms of air pollution each year, as the electricity
grid gets cleaner and more renewable. Zero Emissions
Vehicles (ZEV’s) offer greater efficiency, and can help
solve the serious air pollution, global warming, and energy
security problems facing the country and the world.
CAUTION:
Please use only Zero approved parts and
accessories for your Zero motorcycle. Parts and
accessories for your Zero motorcycle have been checked
and tested for safety and suitability. Zero is unable to
accept any liability whatsoever for parts and accessories
which have not been approved.
Vehicle Range
The range of an electric vehicle is defined as the distance
the vehicle travels on a single full charge of the power
pack. Just like EPA mileage estimates on an automobile,
“your mileage may vary.” Your range results are a direct
reflection of your riding habits. The more conservatively
you ride, the better range you can expect from your Zero
FX/FXS motorcycle.
Some of the factors which affect range include: speed,
acceleration, number of starts and stops, ambient air
temperature, as well as changes in elevation. The
combination of these factors, as you travel from one point
to another, defines your trip profile. In addition, tire
pressure and payload are important considerations.
We suggest that you ride conservatively when you first get
your Zero FX/FXS motorcycle, and get to know your
motorcycle and your commute. Once you become familiar
with the range versus performance of your motorcycle,
then you can adjust your riding characteristics if you so
desire. This applies mainly to riders with trip profiles which
are at the edge of the performance envelope.
