Electric Motorcycle News / Zero Electric Dirt Bike Finishes National Hare and Hound Desert Race
« on: March 22, 2021, 11:07:19 PM »
In October 2020, a Zero DSR built by DirtFirst Racing/Hollywood Movie Bikes finished the final round of the National Hare and Hound Series in Lucerne, California.
The 2018 DSR completed the technical 40mi course in 2hr 17min with 29% battery remaining, and finished ahead of most of the gas bikes in the overall results for the 40mi loop.

Yeah, I thought the mudguard/hugger would get destroyed because of the close fit to the tire, but it has held up well. Thanks for reminding me- I need to order a couple of spares, I think they only cost like $20 or so.
I removed the onboard charger for less weight and more ground clearance.
The stock footpegs and mounts are cheap metal, and I couldn't trust them to hold up. I wanted to use as many CRF parts as possible, so I used CRF mounts and pegs. I added an extension plate on the front of the CRF mounts to pick up the rear battery mount bolt. I think this is a pretty bulletproof design and I haven't had any problems with it.
The PowerTank is quite exposed, and I started making a perforated cover/guard for it, but it just didn't look good. The only thing I worry about is crashing and hitting the battery or plug on rocks, but I guess that's a chance I'm willing to take. The "tank" only looks/works good in the position it's in currently.

The rear shock on my bike was built by Race Tech in SoCal.
I brought the bike to them and they set it up for me.
The rear suspension is a problem area on this chassis- the shock is really short and there is no easy way to move the shock mounts.
I haven't noticed any rock damage. The 3/16" thick alum skidplate runs back under the motor and guards it well.
The stock plastic rear wheel hugger is still hanging in there- I thought it would get ripped off a long time ago.
Thanks for the compliments. I'll try and help anyone doing mods to their DSR.
