Zero DSR Electric Motorcycle to be Awarded in AMA Club 1924 Sweepstakes

PICKERINGTON, Ohio — One lucky winner will ride away on a 2016 Zero DSR electric motorcycle just for entering the 2016 AMA Club 1924 Motorcycle Sweepstakes at one of the nation’s major motorcycle rallies, the American Motorcyclist Association announced today.

“The Zero DSR is a great motorcycle that will provide years of enjoyment for the winner, both on the road and on the trail,” said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. “We are glad to be able to partner with Zero Motorcycles on this sweepstakes.”

The Zero DSR is an amped-up version of the Zero DS, delivering 56 percent more torque and 25 percent more power. A 660-amp controller is paired with a Z-Force® motor with higher temperature magnets to ensure better performance during extended durations at higher speeds.

The Zero DSR boasts 106 ft-lb of torque on demand and a 0-60 mph time of 3.9 seconds. Its custom-tuned Showa suspension and Bosch ABS make it equally at home on pavement or dirt.

“We are proud supporters of the AMA and feel both a sense of honor and responsibility to be part of the future of motorcycling,” said Scot Harden, Vice President of Global Marketing at Zero Motorcycles. “The fortunate winner of the new Zero DSR should prepare to have their mind blown by its performance.”

AMA Club 1924, named in honor of the AMA’s founding year, is the association’s presence at these events, celebrating the fun of motorcycling, connecting with riders and looking back on the history of motorcycling in America.

Throughout 2016, the AMA will be collaborating with partners to enhance members’ experience at AMA Club 1924 locations, where anyone 18 or older can enter the sweepstakes.
