The latest generation of Zero Motorcycles have been introduced today, and will begin shipping in March 2011. Boasting new looks and several technical improvements, the 2011 Zero bikes seem to be ready to take over the world.Not only do the bikes come with a quick-charge optional upgrade that allows them to charge nearly twice as fast, but riders can now also benefit from J1772 public charging stations by using an optional accessory.

The entire lineup is equipped with upgraded suspension systems, an enhanced Z-Force powertrain, more precise charge indicators, new higher performance brakes and industry-standard component features to provide owners with more aftermarket options.

Other highlights include street legal configurations of the dirt bikes and a new maintenance free belt drive for the street and dual sport models. Street-legal versions include additional components such as headlights, taillights, sidestands, dashes, sensors and different gearing.

Both the Zero X and Zero MX have stouter wheels, new tires, a more robust HB Performance braking system, new aggressive foot pegs and an integrated ignition switch and lock.

"During the past year, our Engineering and Manufacturing teams have benefitted from experienced new leadership and the results are clear. In close coordination, they have been working overtime to design and build the world's finest collection of electric motorcycles," said Gene Banman, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. "Our 2011 model line is composed of exceptionally high quality electric motorcycles that balance performance, range, weight, affordability and availability. We are excited to announce such major changes across the entire model line and to also be setting new industry standards in the way we report on our motorcycles' performance specifications."
