Higher Demand Drives Increased Capacity from California Manufacturing Facility
SANTA CRUZ, CA – December 2, 2014 – Zero Motorcycles,
the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, announced today
that it has entered full production of its 2015 model line. The new
motorcycles are being manufactured at its expanded Scotts Valley, California
facility by an increased number of technicians using state-of-the-art
tools. The first shipments of motorcycles are now in transit, with all
North American dealerships receiving the new models by the end of
January. European delivery is scheduled for February 2015.
Following record sales in 2014, the company has made substantial
investments in technology and people, placing additional resources to
expand its “Crafted in California”
vision. “We’ve taken everything learned from building thousands of
electric motorcycles and applied it to new manufacturing processes. To
meet the increased demand from customers, we’ve added new jobs here at
our California factory,” said Kai
Hypko, VP of Operations for Zero Motorcycles. “Highly advanced tools,
improved systems and more skilled workers will allow us to continue to
increase our production capacity and ensure premium quality.”
The 2015 motorcycles rolling out of the California
factory feature numerous advancements from their predecessors. Showa
suspension improves comfort and control. Zero’s class-leading range—now
up to 185 miles—is extended on most models. And, Zero becomes the first
production electric motorcycle to feature anti-lock brakes (ABS).
“Our 2015 lineup continues to lead the industry in overall range, performance and technology,” said Abe Askenazi,
Chief Technology Officer at Zero Motorcycles. “For 2015, we focused our
efforts on refining virtually every element of the vehicle—from the
tires up—to give riders the most pure, seamless experience available.”
Initial production will be dedicated to motorcycles that will be used
for test rides via Zero Motorcycles dealers. Interested riders can
