(February 12, 2013) SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Zero Motorcycles, a global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced the launch of its all-new 2013 Zero Police and Security line-up. In 2012, the highly popular Zero DS Police Motorcycle led the market as the only law enforcement product offering by Zero, but 2013 will see both the Zero S and Zero DS outfitted for law enforcement and security details.

Appropriately titled the Zero S Police/Security and Zero DS Police/Security, both were developed specifically for police and security agencies.

Zero Motorcycles set out to offer two distinct models this year because the company saw a significant increase in demand for street and dual sport police motorcycles on a global level with many Asian, European and South American countries taking interest. North America continues to be in high demand as well.

After launching the 2012 Zero DS Police Motorcycle, many law enforcement agencies have now had the model in the field for more than a year and demand continues to rise for the popular motorcycle. Law enforcement agencies have found the motorcycle to be incredibly reliable, maneuverable and economically feasible.

Zero continues to work directly with a variety of international law enforcement, security and military agencies. This new model is the result of these collaborative efforts.

"After seeing the success the 2012 model had in the field, we decided to expand our 2013 police and security offerings. To have the support of so many different law enforcement agencies and security organizations is an incredible honor," said John Lloyd, vice president of Global Sales for Zero Motorcycles.

"As we stated last year, police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect and serve, so it's imperative that we give them all the tools necessary to allow them to be successful. The 2013 Police and Security line-up does that exceptionally well."

Law enforcement agencies continue to be one of Zero's fastest growing segments. In 2012, Zero worked with the Monterey Police Department, Santa Cruz Police Department, San Jose State University Police Department, Scotts Valley Police Department and the largest law enforcement agency in London, England – the London Metropolitan Police, to allow for thorough field-testing and review.
