2025 Zero DS 6kw Rapid Charger 

 
EFFORTLESS POWER 

 

The Zero DS is the tip of the spear in the Zero Motorcycles dual sport lineup. In 2025, this all-new iteration of the DS unleashes a formidable 97 ft-lbs of torque, ready to conquer everything from rugged backroads to your everyday commute. With its upgraded battery, fresh design, and innovative motor, the DS offers enhanced capabilities across the board. Whether it's your daily journey or an electrifying adventure, the Zero DS is a compelling choice. 

 

EFFORTLESS CONTROL 

 

The Zero DS is updated with a suite of standard performance features in Zero's latest Cypher III+ operating system. Bosch Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC), including the Offroad MSC that is also found on the DSR/X, is equal parts brawn and brains. Effortless power is paired with intuitive control, creating the new standard for premium performance at an incredibly attainable price point. The Zero DS is an adaptable motorcycle and powertrain combination that navigates diverse road terrain and conditions, effortlessly. 

 

Features may include: 

 

Battery

  • Z-Force 14.4 battery pack

The Z-FORCE 14.4 kWh lithium-ion battery requires no maintenance or upkeep and makes the DS capable of 144 miles of city range. Riders can extend their range even farther with the available Power Tank accessory (dealer install required). The battery's industry-leading power and energy density combined with an aluminum heat-sink housing and thermal transfer interface ensure consistent cell cooling and maximum long-term powertrain performance. 

 

Charger

  • Rapid charge system

Our Rapid Charge System is customizable for various charging levels but the baseline for the Zero DS is a powerful 3.0 kW charger. To get even faster charging you can elect to have your dealer install the available Rapid Charging Module accessory and boost your onboard charging power. Alternatively, you can use the included EVSE cord to charge the Zero DS from any standard 110V wall outlet for an overnight charge. 

 

Motor

  • Z-Force 75-7 Motor

The Z-Force 75-7 motor delivers 97 ft-lb of torque and 68 hp, effortlessly propelling the DS to a top speed of 104 mph. Pairing Zero's renowned internal permanent magnet brushless architecture and a passively air-cooled compact design creates class-leading performance and efficiency. 

 

Chassis

  • Chassis

While it may appear that the Zero DS shares the same steel-trellis frame as Zero’s street motorcycles, the similarities end there. Updated to maximize its strength while shedding as much weight as possible, the frame is reinforced for the rigors of any terrain thrown at it. The powertrain is perfectly distributed, resulting in a weight-optimized/mass-centralized design. The Zero DS componentry is also situated differently to optimize for adventure by providing a category-leading 9.7” of ground clearance. Paired with a coaxial power-pivot swingarm which has been reinforced to handle greater loads under harsher conditions, the architecture of the bike and Showa's adventure suspension delivers a nimble and controlled riding experience. 

 

Brakes

  • Linked braking

The DS features a linked braking system. Controlled by the integrated Bosch Advanced Stability Control System, it activates instantly upon sensing a loss of traction or any slippage. The system immediately applies the right amount of braking to the J.Juan front and rear brakes simultaneously, providing added control when climbing or descending steep, loose terrain.

Articles Essential Guide to Maintaining Your Electric Bike

Essential Guide to Maintaining Your Electric Bike

Electric bikes, or e-bikes, have revolutionized the way we commute, offering an eco-friendly and efficient mode of transportation. However, like any vehicle, they require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and durability. In this guide, we'll walk you through essential steps on how to maintain your electric bike. Regular Battery Maintenance The battery is the heart of your electric bike and requires careful attention. Always charge it according to the manufacturer's instructions to prevent overcharging, which can reduce its lifespan. It's advisable to store the battery in a cool, dry place when not in use and avoid letting it discharge completely. Regular checks for any signs of corrosion or damage will help keep your e-bike running smoothly. Tire Care and Inspection Checking tire pressure regularly ensures your electric bike rides smoothly and efficiently. Under-inflated tires can increase energy consumption and reduce traction. Make sure to inspect for any cuts or punctures that could lead to flats. Replacing worn-out tires promptly guarantees safety while riding. Chain Lubrication A well-lubricated chain minimizes friction and ensures efficient power transfer from the motor to the wheels. Clean your chain with a suitable cleaner before applying a high-quality lubricant designed for bikes. Avoid over-lubricating as excess grease can attract dirt. Brake System Check Maintaining a reliable brake system is essential for safety. Regularly inspect brake pads for wear and adjust them as needed. Ensure cables are properly aligned and taut; replace them immediately if fraying is present. Routine Electrical Checks Your e-bike's electronics should be kept in top condition, which includes regularly checking wires for wear or loose connections. Ensuring that all displays and lights work correctly aids both performance monitoring and night-time visibility. Whether you're commuting through Salt Lake City or exploring trails around Provo, maintaining your electric bike with these tips will ensure long-lasting reliability and enjoyment on every ride. We hope you find these maintenance tips helpful! For further assistance with your electric bike needs—or if you're looking to explore our latest models—visit Monarch Powersports located in Orem, UT.

Essential Steps for Pre-Ride Inspection of Powersports Vehicles

Keeping your powersports vehicles in optimal condition is key to ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride. Whether you are gearing up for an adventurous trail or hitting the road for a weekend trip, conducting a pre-ride inspection is an essential practice. These checks not only enhance the longevity of your machine but also prevent unwanted surprises during your ride. Inspecting Tires and Wheels The first step in your pre-ride inspection involves checking the tires and wheels. Look for any visible signs of wear or damage, such as cracks, punctures, or uneven tread wear. Ensure that the air pressure in each tire meets the manufacturer’s specifications. An overinflated or underinflated tire can affect handling and stability, posing safety risks. Additionally, check that the wheels are properly aligned and secure. Checking Fluid Levels Fluids are vital to keeping powersports vehicles running smoothly. Start by inspecting engine oil levels and topping them off if necessary, adhering to the OEM recommendations for oil type and quantity. Don’t overlook other fluids like coolant, brake fluid, and hydraulic fluid if applicable. Maintaining proper fluid levels ensures that all systems function reliably. Examining Brakes Effective brakes are crucial for safety during any ride. Test both front and rear brakes to ensure they provide adequate stopping power without delay or noise. Inspect brake pads for thickness; thin pads need replacing to prevent damage to rotors. If you notice any sponginess when applying brakes, bleeding may be required to remove air from the brake lines. Testing Lights and Controls Lights enhance visibility during low-light conditions while signaling intentions to others on trails or roads. Verify that all lights work correctly, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. Furthermore, ensure controls like throttle response smoothly without sticking—this guarantees precise control over vehicle speed. Visit Monarch Powersports located in Orem, UT—also serving enthusiasts from Salt Lake City and Provo—for expert guidance on maintaining your powersports vehicles with confidence before every adventure! Our friendly team looks forward to supporting you with top-notch customer service so you can embark knowing everything has been checked thoroughly by professionals who care about getting out there just as much as you do!

Mastering Motorcycle Maintenance: Tips for Peak Performance and Longevity

Riding a motorcycle offers thrills unlike any other experience on the road, but ensuring your bike remains reliable requires regular maintenance. Whether you are cruising through scenic routes or navigating urban jungles, keeping your motorcycle in top shape is essential for both performance and safety. In this guide, we'll explore the best practices for motorcycle upkeep so you can enjoy years of smooth rides and optimum longevity. Regular Inspections: Your Bike's Best Friend Routine inspections are crucial to catching potential issues before they become costly problems. Make it a habit to check tire pressure, and tread condition, and look for any signs of wear and tear. Ensuring proper tire inflation not only improves fuel efficiency but also enhances handling. Don't forget to inspect your brakes regularly—squeaky brakes or decreased responsiveness are signals that warrant immediate attention. Oil Changes: The Lifeline of Your Engine Oil acts as the lifeblood of your motorcycle’s engine by lubricating moving parts and reducing friction. Over time, oil breaks down and loses its effectiveness, which can lead to engine damage. For optimal performance, follow the manufacturer's recommendations for oil type and change intervals. Fresh oil not only protects critical components but also extends the lifespan of your engine. Chain Maintenance: Keeping It Smooth A well-maintained chain ensures efficient power transfer from the engine to the rear wheel. Regularly inspect your chain for slackness or rust, and clean it with an appropriate chain cleaner followed by lubrication with a high-quality chain lube like those from brands such as Yamaha® or Harley-Davidson®. Proper tension adjustment is key; too tight or too loose can cause unnecessary strain on both the chain and sprockets. Battery Health: Power Up Your Ride Checking battery terminals and ensuring they are clean and free from corrosion is essential in maintaining reliable starts every time you hop on your bike. While newer batteries require minimal maintenance, keeping them charged during long periods of inactivity helps avoid unexpected flat starts. Air Filter: Breathing Fresh An unobstructed air filter enhances airflow into the engine, promoting better fuel combustion and overall performance. A clogged air filter can lead to reduced power output. Depending on riding conditions, cleaning or replacing your air filter should be part of routine maintenance—common practice suggests more frequent changes if you’re riding in dusty environments. At Monarch Powersports located in Orem, UT—with proximity to Salt Lake City and Provo—we're committed to helping you maintain peak vehicle performance through expert advice tailored to meet individual biking needs. Visit us today where our dedicated team offers insights into optimizing bike longevity while delivering comprehensive care knowledge so every ride becomes truly unforgettable!

Articles How Ground Clearance Impacts Your Motorcycle Purchase

How Ground Clearance Impacts Your Motorcycle Purchase

Deciding to purchase a new motorcycle involves many factors to consider, one of which is ground clearance. But how much does ground clearance really matter when choosing your new ride? What Is Ground Clearance? In brief, ground clearance refers to the distance from the lowest point of your motorcycle's frame to the ground when the bike is upright. This measurement significantly impacts how your vehicle performs on different terrains. From riding over speed bumps or potholes in Orem, UT, to navigating gravel paths outside Salt Lake City and Provo, UT — a bike's ground clearance can make all the difference. Why Ground Clearance Matters A greater ground clearance allows for improved handling over obstacles commonly found on off-road trails or poor-quality roads. On the flip side, motorcycles with lower ground clearances are often better suited for highway cruising and offer easier maneuverability due to their lower center of gravity. Making the Right Choice Depending on where and how you plan to ride, you'll need to select a motorcycle with an appropriate level of ground clearance. Consider your typical routes — will you encounter lots of speed bumps and potholes? Or are smooth highways more your style? Identifying these patterns will guide you toward making an informed decision. We invite you to bring these considerations when visiting Monarch Powersports located in Orem, UT. We cater not just to bikers in Orem, but also those from Salt Lake City and Provo, UT. Our team will gladly assist you in exploring our top-of-the-line options tailored specifically to your unique needs. Experience first-hand how different ground clearances can impact your ride and understand why it plays a pivotal role in choosing the right motorcycle for you.
