Zero Motorcycles company history timeline

2006

A timeline of Zero motorcycle tech, starting in 2006

2008

However, the severe recession of 2008 let the air out of the bubble and even some established companies were suddenly struggling.

2010

The 2010 models had used the Agni axial-flux brushed motor.

Zero did not begin shipping the Zero-S “Street” model is significant numbers until 2010.

2012

The 2012 cells were flat pouch cells made by Energy Innovations Group (EIG) from South Korea and were configured as an 18S pack, which had a nominal voltage of roughly 65V (this is the only year that this voltage was used). From this point forward, Zero has used flat pouch cells.

2013

Starting in 2013, the flat Farasis cells were potted in a polymer.

2015

In 2015, Zero upgraded their products with Showa suspension parts, Bosch anti-lock brakes (ABS), and an optional battery range of 186 miles…this shows that the large global suppliers of motorcycle parts now wanted to be associated with Zero, rather than being afraid of taking that risk with them.
