Five motorcycle enthusiasts founded the ZPmoto GbR, in October 2009 with the aim to build motorcycles in Zschopau. In small series and by hand, with modern technology. The first model of ZPmoto is the ZPsport, a handy classic Enduro with 450er engine. A prototype already exists. According to ZPmoto, frame and rear frame are made of steel; the Central tube construction with shared joists to the chassis provide high rigidity and be still easy. Aluminum to be used for the rear Guide and guards. The ZPsport should weigh no more than 140 kg ready to ride.
On the suspension components is not saved: specially for ZPmoto produces Ohlins fully adjustable shock absorbers. Develop a tensile and compression, as well as spring base adjustable fork the makers of ZPmoto itself: "That was a great challenge." We deliberately opted for the sophisticated in-house development. "Available on the market tele forks were simply not in the construction and an upside-down fork was never eligible for the ZPsport", so ZPmoto designer Jorg Hubler.
A 450er single cylinder four-stroke gas gas propels the ZPsport. The water-cooled engine with electronic fuel injection has convinced the developers because it linearly and good usable makes his performance, as well as provides much torque. The ZPsport is started either with Kick-or E-starter, and thanks to Euro 3 emission standard the Enduro classic in many countries can be approved. The final vote of the engine is in Zschopau, also the production of various parts.
After the trend towards modern motorcycles is growing more and more in retro design with modern technology, the ZPsport could have success. To wish, it would be the ZPmoto team.
