OAKLAND, Calif., (Sept. 15, 2011) – Zero Motorcycles,
the global leader in electric motorcycle manufacturing, today announced
that United States Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood received a
personal demonstration of Zero’s 2011 electric motorcycle product line.
The program was held in conjunction with the Asia-Pacific Economic
Cooperation 2011 (APEC) Senior Officials Meeting being held this week in
San Francisco. Zero participated in the Innovative Technologies in
Sustainable Transportation program hosted across the bay at FedEx
Oakland Airport. Zero highlighted its electric motorcycle technology
amidst a wide variety of alternative fuel transportation solutions,
including the Nissan Leaf, Honda Clarity, Chevy Volt, BMW Mini-E and
Ford Focus EV.

“We are honored to be here and to see the interest from Secretary
LaHood. Not only did he see the potential for these electric
motorcycles, he was very encouraged by the green transportation jobs
Zero Motorcycles is creating here in America,” said Jay Friedland, Vice
President of Strategy and Sustainability for Zero Motorcycles. “Our
motorcycles are truly game changing and once you ride one, you
immediately realize that electric motorcycles are here to stay. Our
motorcycles are high performance, fun to ride and the best part is, you
can buy one today.”

Besides an overall interest in the Zero product line, LaHood showed
particular interest in the efforts to extend Federal Tax credits for
electric motorcycles. In a brief discussion with Zero staff, LaHood
expressed support for seeing that these valuable incentives remain
available to consumers and help create more American jobs.
