2013 ZERO DS
The Zero DS has
undergone some cosmetic

>>Our Zero DS was powered by the
bigger and more expensive 11.4 kWh
battery pack.
>>There's an App for that: You can
control the Zero's performance levels
via your iPhone or Android device.

round-trip? Forget about it. In

at the 27.6-mile mark. Talk about
buzz kill. And I'm not even talking
about the full day at work part.
I also stated that the bike

feel more speed, more accelera- >>The 38mm inverted front fork
tion. I wanted to feel it in my chest offers up seven inches of travel.
