ZERO SR/S Electric Motorcycle
Zero SR/S is a battery-powered fully electric motorcycle launched by a well-reputed electric motorcycle manufacturer, Zero. This fully electric motorcycle will be an improved and fully faired version of the previous bike launched under the name Zero SR/F.
In this article, we are going to review Zero SR/F fully electric motorcycles and let you know if it will be the ideal electric bike for you or not.
About the manufacturers
Since 2006, the Scotts Valley, California-based company Zero Motorcycles has only produced all-electric motorcycles. It was established by Neal Saiki, a former NASA engineer, and was previously known as Electricross.
The era of electric cars is quickly approaching, and since Zero Motorcycles has a complete line of electric motorcycles and has been producing fully electric motorcycles for the past 16 to 17 years, they are prepared more than anybody else to rule the market.
One of the many well-known electric motorcycles produced by Zero Motorcycles is the Zero SR/S.
Design and looks
The Zero SR/S electric motorcycle’s body design has several characteristics of sports bikes and bears some resemblance to them. Additionally, its aggressive styling and unique component placement set it apart from other electric motorcycles on the market and improve its performance.
Due to the sporty appearance of the Zero SR/S electric motorcycle, the riding position feels more like that of an adventure bike, and the quality of the seats is also adequate. Additionally, the handlebars are slightly further back and the foot pegs are put high enough to be out of the way but not at race bike rear set levels.
Speaking of its rear, Zero SR/S has compact yet aggressive LED lighting with incredibly flexible turn signals that prevent it from braking even if you drop the electric motorcycle. Additionally, the front of this electric motorcycle includes two LED lamps.
The 43 mm huge piston separate function fork and 40 mm reservoir rear shock on the Zero SR/S fully electric motorcycle are more than sufficient for vigorous street riding.
Despite being an electric motorcycle, Zero has maintained a typical petrol tank appearance and repurposed the space as a highly useful storage place. The charging spot is located right behind it.
Furthermore, the huge gauge display on the Zero SR/S shouldn’t be mistaken for a touchscreen. The manufacturers have also reduced the need for physical switches by utilizing the sliding mode button’s full functionality. The cruise control is even activated by simply pressing the start button.
The Zero SR/S mirrors are positioned exceptionally low, which prevents vibration and gives riders some of the clearest views of the back of any motorcycle.
Price
The Zero SR/S fully electric motorcycle has a starting price of $19,995. If you want a power tank and/or a 6kW rapid charger for your electric motorcycle, you will need to spend an additional $3,220 and $3,000, respectively.

The Z-Force motor and Z-Force 17.3 kWh battery pack, which give the Zero SR/S its largest stock capacity ever and enable it to perform better than anything else on the market right now, enable it to produce 140 ft-lb of torque and 110 horsepower with the simple twist of a throttle.
Because chain-driven motorcycles make more unneeded noise, the Zero SR/S totally electric motorcycle is belt-driven rather than chain-driven. Chain drives also need frequent lubrication and tension adjustments, making them the most maintenance-intensive type of drive.
In addition to that, a unique coaxial power pivot design offers the best architecture for maintaining continuous drive-belt tension and delivering the most torque to the back wheel.
Features
The Zero SR/S has a start button, but you don’t need to press it to drive; instead, you just need to start the key, raise the kickstand and wait for the green light to appear on the screen.
The intuitive next-generation App and Dash interface on the Zero SR/S completely electric motorcycle offer a variety of ride modes that let the rider adjust the bike’s performance.
The Rain, Eco, Standard, Sport, and Canyon modes are pre-loaded on the SR/S, and there is essentially a limitless amount of custom-adjusted riding mode tweaks possible.
Additionally, this electric bike has two USB ports to simultaneously charge other devices. In addition, the Zero SR/S has a unique app called Cypher III+, which features software enabling each rider to personalize their riding experience via the Cypher Store.
Conclusion
This appears to be one of the best and most maneuverable electric motorcycles on the market right now judging on performance and feedback from customers. The Zero SR/S fully electric motorcycle is the one for you if you’re seeking for an adventurous yet practical electric motorcycle.
