Sales figures for full-power battery-powered bikes are still a big concern, but American electric specialist Zero Motorcycles, is continuing to upgrade its model line-up. It’s just released the 2024 versions of the SR roadster and DSR dual sport bikes, which now come with a new powertrain, more kit and updated styling. Zero promises more performance and range from the bikes and offers the stats to back that up. The DSR weighs in at 242kg and boasts a 155-mile urban range (or 100 miles on longer open road journeys), while the 223kg SR roadster claims a 162-mile urban range and 102 miles out of town.
Both bikes are available in A2 licence form or derestricted for full licence holders. The new motor and battery setup peak at 70hp, with 103ft-lb of torque, and the bikes can be fast charged in under 90 minutes from empty.
Prices start at £16,200 for the 2024 SR and £17k for the DSR, with a five-year unlimited warranty on both the battery and the bike.
