Technical Overview
2016 Zero Engineering Type 5-B Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Zero Engineering's custom - cruiser motorcycle platform, the 2016 Zero Engineering Type 5-B relies on a 1570 cc (95.8 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 88.8 x 108.0 mm (3.5 x 4.3 inches).
On the scales, the Type 5-B measures 250 kg (551 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 660 mm (26 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,600 mm (63 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 8.4-liter (2.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
