Zero Motorcycles

This Santa Cruz, Calif.-based electric motorcycle manufacturer has accelerated from zero to hero in a hurry. Starting several years ago with bicycle-themed engineering, the company quickly improved, advancing through various clean-sheet designs before arriving at the latest Zero SR/F, Zero SR, Zero S, Zero DSR, and Zero FX and FXS motorcycles. Completely highway legal, these bikes offer numerous attributes that are comparable to internal-combustion alternatives. For instance, the SR, S, and DS will deliver a claimed 171 miles “city” riding per charge, accelerate briskly to over 95 mph, and handle well. Plus, a built-in Bluetooth function lets you use your smartphone to fine-tune powertrain operation—and also as a secondary real-time instrument panel.
