2024 Zero FXE
FUTURISTIC DESIGN
Partnering with Huge Design, we crafted the future of motorcycles - the FXE. Breathtaking profile, record-breaking performance, and cutting-edge technology that totally redefines motorcycling. Only from the global leader in electric motorcycles. The future is here.
FROM CONCEPT TO REALITY
In 2018, Zero partnered with Bill Webb for a custom FXS build, inspiring future motorcycles. Webb's approach pushed boundaries yet maintained relatability and functionality, and from that the FXE was born. The FXE has been embraced by the motorcycle industry and exceeding even our own lofty expectations. The FXE has advanced design influenced by Huge Design in San Francisco that advances transportation thinking. Affordable luxury combines unmatched performance and style. Redefine your ride with the FXE.
BRIGHT DESIGN
Vivid design means a brighter road ahead. With new LED head and taillights, plus a full-color TFT dash, the FXE outshines motorcycles above its class. Brains and brawn in one stunning package. Illuminate your ride with the FXE.
EFFORTLESS CONTROL
Crossing through variable road conditions in the city? All good. Change performance profiles at the press of a button to master any terrain. The powerful and capable Zero FXE is also pre-programmed with Eco or Sport modes and performance can be fully customized using the Zero Motorcycles app where you can also see detailed ride stats.
CHARGE SIMPLY
Wake up, ready to ride, with a “full tank” every day. No high-power public charge station required. A simple 110 V household outlet satisfies all the needs of the Zero FXE’s 650-watt onboard charger. Every outlet is now a “fueling” station. Crave faster refills? Pick up an accessory Quick Charger to cut charge times by over 60%.
CONTROL THROUGH CONNECTION
By pairing through your smartphone, the FXE’s full capabilities are unlocked with the Zero NextGen app. Data driven performance is at the tips of your fingertips when you can monitor everything about your FXE from charge times, speed and regeneration levels, and so much more. Plus, the core architecture of the FXE and NextGen app ecosystem are built on the Cypher II operating system so the potential for future feature availability is as wide open as the road ahead.
BATTERY
Zero Motorcycles’ Z-Force® batteries are the most power and energy dense in the EV industry. The Z-Force® 7.2 offers a maximum battery capacity of 7.2 kWh that delivers up to 105 miles of city riding. The battery is designed to last and is backed by a five-year, unlimited mile warranty. The Zero FXE also features Long Term Storage Mode to optimize the battery’s state of charge and further improve long term battery health when the seasons keep you from riding for months at a time.
ONBOARD CHARGER
The Zero FXE’s discreetly accessible 650 W onboard charger can be plugged into any household outlet. When you can refuel your FXE from anywhere you can charge your cellphone, charge options per square mile are greater than the density of gas stations anywhere in the world. For when you need even faster recharges, charge times can be slashed by using optional Quick Chargers.
MOTOR
The Zero FXE powerplant produces up to 78 ft-lb of torque. The air-cooled Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor delivers impressive performance and fierce acceleration, which works in conjunction with regenerative braking to channel energy back into the battery. No heavy, complicated or expensive liquid cooling. No routine maintenance. No fuss. This is the industry’s most efficient, powerful, and compact motor.
FRAME
The Zero FXE’s robust aircraft-grade aluminum frame has been refined for over ten years. A descendant of Zero’s early motocross-style bikes, the frame’s optimized strength-to-weight ratio is the perfect delivery mechanism for the Z-Force® powertrain’s adrenaline pumping acceleration.
BRAKES
The Bosch anti-lock brake system (ABS) delivers confident braking. Tested for just about any situation you can imagine, the system optimizes deceleration under hard braking. The brakes are equipped with adjustable levers for improved ergonomics. And for those who would like, the ABS can be switched on or off at the rider’s discretion.
DASH
Full-color and optically bonded 5” TFT dash. The Zero FXE dash projects the specs you need: speed, state of charge, power output, selected riding profile, projected recharge time. Sync with your smartphone to turn it into a secondary customizable dash or view detailed ride stats.
SUSPENSION
Custom-tuned by Showa specifically for the power and weight of the Zero FXE, this suspension is perfect for anything you find in your path. The FX’s rugged 41mm inverted cartridge front forks and 40mm rear shock are enough to handle jagged ruts and rock-strewn trails, while offering 7” of front travel and 8.94” of play at the rear.
WHEELS & TIRES
The FXE rips through the concrete jungle on a pair of lightweight and strong 17-inch cast wheels. Wrapped in high-performance Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tires, the Zero FXE slices through any type of tarmac you encounter.
BELT DRIVE
Strip away clutches, gears, shifting, chains and all their weighty complexities. Seamlessly accelerate with pure efficiency as energy quietly transforms into propulsion. The Zero FXE is direct drive, and its state-of-the-art motor connects directly to the rear wheel using a carbon fiber belt from Gates Carbon.
FACE
The Zero FXE’s distinctive face features an LED bulb element with a more traditional round reflector vs. projector bulb for wide, even illumination in both high and low beams along with an integrated fly screen, leading the way with a visual style matched to the bike’s sharp attitude.
