ZEV7000
THE WORLD’S FASTEST AND MOST POWERFUL PRODUCTION ELECTRIC MOTOR SCOOTER !
130 kph / 80 mph 7 Kw (7100 WATTS) OF CONTINUOUS OUTPUT POWER 8 Kw (8000 WATTS) of peak power. 14 KW launch or standing start power
ZEV has heard all of the claims by various companies that they have the fastest street legal production bike around. We tell them to bring their street legal production bike and to bring their betting money. There can be only one “fastest” street legal production electric motor scooter in the world. While there are lots of promises by companies showing prototypes or promises from non volume production bike companies, the ZEV7000 is real and available today, not vaporware and promises.
This bikes primary design goal was to be a commuter bike that could run on the highway and complete a 50 mile round trip.
The ZEV7000 will run 130 kph / 80 mph from a dead stop in a 1/3rd mile run on a standard conditions day. The bike can run +116 kmph / 72 mph speeds with a 6 ft tall, 190 lb. rider sitting upright in only a 1/4 mile / .4 km standing start.
Look closer and you will see that this bike is really a sport bike in disguise. The visual cues are there. The big, no flex swingarm for excellent handling. The high end gas shocks that only expensive sport bikes approaching $10,000 have. (All ZEV7000 made after June 2010 have the gas shocks) Notice the modular wheel and motor system that is only sold on a ZEV. Under the bodywork is a highly torsionally rigid frame unlike any "scooter" comprised of 1.25 OD steel tubing. This is not a little scooter despite its very light weight. The wheelbase is 2.5 inches (6.35 cm) Longer than a Honda CBR1000 RR chassis for excellent high speed handling.
Take the 7000 out on the highway and run. Punch the shift button for the power boost into second and third as you go up through the “gears” on our “Electronic Transmission” and feel the power roll on.
Cruising at less than all out speeds this bike has yielded 70 to 55 miles (112 – 88 km) of useful range for beta test riders (depending on terrain, speed, and rider weight).
Faster than any of the advertised speeds of any other electric motor scooter (advertisements which may or may not be true). Compare the ZEV to the advertised specifications listed on other company web sites and brochures.
Faster than the $10,000 or the $8,700 Vectrix scooter. Save $2,000 and get better performance with ZEV.
- At least 10 mph Faster than the Vectrix VX-1E and faster with more range than the $2,450 more expensive $10,500 Vectrix VX-1.
- The ZEV has an 84% higher continuous rating power than the 3.8 Kw Vectrix.
Faster than the production electric motorcycles.
- Faster with 17% more range than the $1908 more expensive $9,950 Zero S.
- Faster than the Brammo Enertia Bike, but the ZEV has 41% more range at least.
Faster than any of the Chinese gasoline motor scooter tested in actual comparison tests.
41% more range than the $10,000 Vectrix. (based on advertised specifications)
17% more range than the $1908 more expensive $9,950 Zero S electric motorcycle.
41% more range than the best of the Chinese built electric scooters claim to be capable of. (based on advertised claims that may or may not be real)
Range equal to the far more expensive, $9,995 Brammo Empulse.
More hill climbing ability than any other electric motor scooter on the market with the standard motor. (Even more hill climbing ability is available in the 7000 Alpine with a special torque motor offering over 240 Nm of peak torque-at the expense of some speed)
Lighter than the heavy Vectrix by 205 lbs.
Best warranty in the industry. Two years
Maximum Speed - 130 kph / 80 mph + (rated in a 1/3rd mile run)
Range - depends upon terrain, speed, weather, load. Our range is measured on flat land on standard day conditions. - 62 miles at 50 mph -70 miles at 45 mph - 83 miles at 28 mph

96 Volt peak power battery pack. 84 Volt nominal. 3.84 Kw battery capacity. 28 batteries, 40 Ah Thunder Sky.
Revolutionary BMS (Battery Management System) built into the connectors between the battery
Energy saving 3 speed “Electronic Transmission”
Regenerative braking
Longer wheelbase than a Vectrix for high speed handling.
Battery pack as low as possible in the chassis to put the bike mass at the axle. Only 6.5 inches from the ground to the battery box bottom. This is a radically lower CG than bikes like the $13,995 Brammo Empulse that carries all of its battery weight above the axle and its CG near the top of the wheel.
Seating For Two The 7000 has a big seat ample for two full sized adults, not the single seat only of bikes like the ZERO or any of the Brammo Enertia or Empulse. That lack of seat space and a luggage rack on those bikes means it is not very usable in daily use. You have no place to strap down your load or carry your girlfriend or wife or friend.
Curb Weight - 294 lbs / 134 kg Gross Weight - 670 lbs / 304kg Passenger and load carrying ability 376 lbs.
This bike is assembled in the USA with a US VIN number and USA Certificates of Origin. There are no registration problems like may occur with the Chinese LX Vin Series bikes.
The ZEV7000 is fully compliant with all EPA and DOT rules and regulations.

ZEV7000 ALPINE OPTION
This bike is available in two "ALPINE" versions. While this was designed at the request of customers for requirements involving steep terrain, some sport bike riders choose the Option 1 to increase acceleration for stop light to stop light fun.
Option 1 - The vehicle is available with a higher electrical power supply to the motor which increases climbing torque 28%, but which cuts range 15-20% depending upon rider driving habits.
Option 2 - The vehicle is available with our Torque motor which increases available torque by 31%, but reduces top speed to 50 mph. (79 kph).
All ALPINE bike motors have special motor casings to keep the motors cool under prolonged loads.
