That is a good thing. But will Trump allow government agencies purchase an electric motorcycle, especially if he finds out that it uses Chinese-made components? ::)
Speaking of that sort of thing: I wonder what the latest tariff plan is going to do to Zero's manufacturing costs and the MSRP of their motorcycles? Probably nothing good. :(

It would be interesting to see the GSA pricing schedule. Perhaps someone with buying access could look this up.
-
GSA prices are public. Here's the only Zero I was able to find:

1,200 pounds weight? :o
-
That weight seems impossible. Maybe the shipping weight with the crate and some extra batteries?

Maybe the shipping box also includes one of these. After all it is an "authority" vehicle. ;D

That's the shipping weight, the item weight your agency will have to pay to ship/able to receive. Crate and all accessories, correct.

This is very good for Zero's health as a company. I am very glad to see this work come to realization.

At least the recoilless rifle would help explain the $18k price for an FX with a blue light.
-
If I recall, the MX / FX came into being because the government required a 60 second from empty to full charge time.
The price and weight could be reflected in an extra set of batteries and cabling to charge off board.

Here is the link for the DSR (trigger warning on the price):

Have to love that government "discount"!

The DSR IS fully equipped, including the rack and trunk, saddlebags and mounts, crash bars, fairing, hand guards....are any of the accessories Zero offers NOT on this bike? It may even have a charge tank or power tank, and/or fast charger mounted in the trunk or a saddlebag. It may also have special equipment like radios and such, though I don't see any extra lighting mounted to the crash bars. All told, including labor for installation of all that stuff, crating, shipping and a reasonable profit for the supplier, and I don't think the price is that far out of whack. All that crap adds up.
Can anybody figure out what that thing is that appears to be suspended above the "gas tank"?

Interesting take - how does the FX becomes $18,407.51? 8 Grand worth of accessories?
-
It's a DSR, not an FX.
The thing on the tank looks to me like a CB radio.
-
Link earlier in the thread is for an FX with $8,000 of accessories.

Heh, yep... just saw that 8)
-
Alright, let's do the FX. I'm seeing a non-standard fairing, handguards, rack, top box (w/ radio/gps/other equipment in it?), I'm sure the "approved" blue light isn't cheap, and as someone mentioned, very possibly extra battery packs and/or charger(s).
Let's put it this way. How much would YOU charge to purchase, set up and deliver an FX like that? It's gotta be worth your time and energy, doesn't it?
-
Oops, forgot the crash bars. I'd bet those alone are $600 or more just to purchase, not including installation cost.
-
The radios and equipment will be different for every agency. It’s unlikely any communication hardware will ship with it. The crash guards are $175 everywhere I look. $250 for DSR. (Example: https://www.af1racing.com/store/Scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=90911&sku=ZM10-08028&description=Zero+MC%27s+Crash+Bars+for+%2714%2D%2717+FX%2FS+%2D+ZM10%2D08028)
There’s no mention of extra battery. Wow, FXP is 303lbs. https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/fleet/police/specs.php
I’ll have my procurement guy reach out and see what the extra ~1,000 pounds is for in shipping. Maybe it’s a 4 pack and a great discounted price? Lol
