Public Charging Stations
There are more public charging stations coming online
every day and there may be some in your area. You can
charge from a public charging station with either the
optional J1772 Zero Motorcycle accessory or a CHAdeMO
Zero Motorcycle accessory. These stations are often
available at a variety of locations including shopping
centers, city parking lots, airports, hotels, government
offices, and other businesses. We recommend that you
search the internet for locations in your area. For example,
search for “charging stations.”
CHAdeMO Charger
Your Zero Motorcycle can utilize a quick charging
CHAdeMO charger system. A CHAdeMO charger can
charge your motorcycle in about one hour. For additional
information contact your Zero Motorcycle dealer.
Maximizing Your Range
Range varies in electric motorcycles similarly to how it
varies in gas motorcycles. However, the big difference
between electric and gas is that energy consumption is
averaged over a shorter distance on an electric
motorcycle. Electric motorcycles are designed for
convenient daily recharges versus less frequent and less
convenient trips to the gas station. As a result, the same
electric motorcycle often yields different ranges from one
full recharge to the next.
How to Predict the Range
To generally predict how an electric motorcycle’s range will
be affected, you can use the four factors:
route
rider
weather
motorcycle
By considering each of these factors, you can use
specifications such as ‘city range’ as standards to estimate
what the motorcycle’s real world range will be under the
your particular usage case.
