Zero Motorcycles announced recently that the Los Angeles Police Department purchased the new Zero MMX police/military motorcycle to add to the department’s patrol fleet. Powered by the 100% electric Z-Force motor, the Zero MMX was developed to meet the specific requirements of military, law enforcement and security agencies. After extensive testing, the L.A.P.D. chose Zero Motorcycles for their stealth, low cost of operation, maintenance-free powertrain, and minimal environmental impact.
“Police agencies expect that their fleet of motorcycles be reliable, perform in the line of duty, and provide a tactical advantage, and we are proud to provide motorcycles that exceed those expectations,” said John Lloyd, Vice President of Global Sales for Zero Motorcycles. “Zero continues to work closely with several police agencies, including the L.A.P.D., to produce a world class engineered police line-up. We continue to grow the support of law enforcement worldwide and are thrilled that the L.A.P.D. will be using our motorcycles.”
The MMX features a quick-change lithium ion power pack
Zero's police motorcycles are fully electric and designed exclusively for police and security departments as a cost-effective means to patrol a wide variety of terrain and excel in areas with noise and pollution limitations, including indoors. They can be customized with pursuit emergency lighting and sirens, safety components, and plenty of functional storage options to carry gear, patrol items, and emergency medical equipment. Motorcycles are currently available for a three-day evaluation program.
