Terms of use
These terms apply to the Moto Zero website and course material. By using the site you accept them. They are written to be read: if anything is unclear, ask.
01Educational purpose
Moto Zero is an open educational programme of Transitions Lab. It explains how motorcycles work and how they are inspected, diagnosed and repaired. It is a learning resource, not a service manual for any particular machine and not professional advice.
02Licence
Text, course plates, 3D models, renders and the interactive tools are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 licence (CC BY-SA 4.0). You may copy, adapt and share them, including commercially, if you give credit (“Moto Zero, Transitions Lab, CC BY-SA 4.0”) and release adaptations under the same licence.
- Photographs from the Transitions Lab collection are excluded from the licence and may not be reused without permission.
- Source documents cited on the Sources page belong to their authors and publishers and are not covered by the Moto Zero licence.
03Workshop procedures
Procedures, job sheets and reference values are general guidance. Specifications differ between machines, so always follow the manufacturer’s service manual for the motorcycle in front of you, including its torque settings, service limits and safety instructions. Use suitable protective equipment and tools.
04High-voltage systems
The traction systems of electric motorcycles operate at voltages that can kill. Work on high-voltage components must only be carried out by people trained and authorised for it, following the manufacturer’s isolation procedure. Module 05 explains the principles; it does not qualify anyone to do the work.
05Interactive tools
The values in the Overview, Cockpit, Wiring Lab and other interactive tools are teaching approximations. They show how systems behave, not the exact figures of a particular motorcycle, and must not be used for design, setup or diagnosis of a real machine.
06No warranty
The material is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. We work to keep it accurate but cannot guarantee that it is complete, current or free of errors. To the extent the law allows, Transitions Lab accepts no liability for loss, damage or injury arising from use of the site or the material. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
07Links to other sites
The site links to third-party sites such as Sketchfab. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content or their terms.
08Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the site develops. The current version is always on this page, and significant changes are noted on the Updates page.
