Exro Technologies Inc (CSE:XRO) (OTCQB:EXROF) is teaming up with Zero Motorcycles to develop an advanced coil-drive powertrain for the electric motorcycle market.
Under the collaboration agreement announced Monday, Zero Motorcycles will evaluate Exro's patented coil drive technology using Zero's SR/S powertrain platform.
Zero is a world-leading developer of electric-powered motorcycles, which are optimized from the ground up to leverage the revolutionary Z-Force powertrain that uses specially designed components to minimize weight, size, and complexity.

"We are excited to work with Zero on this development," Exro CEO Sue Ozdemir said in a statement. "The ZF75-10 design is already an elite motor and, in partnership with Exro, there are opportunities to elevate the powertrain performance even further. This partnership is another step in the commercialization of our technology, and we look forward to delivering."
The companies will collaborate to integrate Exro's coil drive technology into a Zero ZF75-10-based motorcycle, with Zero providing motor technology and integration support while Exro will provide power electronics design and supply.
"Zero is continually focused on innovation for our products," said Ryan Biffard, technical lead for powertrain development for Zero. "We're excited to work together with Exro to evaluate possible further enhancements to the performance of our bikes."
