POLLUTION CONTROL DISTRICT ALTERNATIVE FUEL

WHEREAS, the Lodi Police Department would like to apply for two Zero
motorcycles for park patrol and enforcement at a cost of $20,000 each; and
WHEREAS, Lodi Police Department staff chose the Zero DS motorcycles
because of their reliability, low maintenance, battery range and capacity, maneuverability
and lightweight chassis; and
WHEREAS, the Zero has a top speed of 95 mph and can travel a maximum of
164 miles on a charge. It has regenerative braking and has options for on or off-road

essential. Officers can stealthily take off from a hideout and pursue subjects without
engine noise.
