It’s not surprising that every year the electric motorcycle market continues to grow. Thanks in large part to Zero Motorcycles, riders now have more viable alternatives to gas powered bikes. As the technology gets better and battery efficiency grows, it might not be too long before electric bikes become the standard. In fact, with the release of the new 2020 Zero SR/F, many experts in the industry are claiming that the future of motorcycles is electric. Here’s a little background on what makes the new Zero SR/F so special.

So What’s Different?

Zero Motorcycles have been improving their bikes year to year with mostly minor upgrades to previous versions. That isn’t the case with the 2020 SR/F though. This bike was built from the ground up and boasts the most impressive specifications of any electric motorcycle on the market. With its 110 horsepower and 140 ft-lbs of torque, this bike is powerful enough to stack up against its gas-powered cousins. With a top speed of 124 mph, you won’t have to go gas to go fast.

Additionally, the engineers at Zero Motorcycles have boosted the range of the 2020 SR/F as well as its power. It now supports up to 161 highway miles and 99 city miles on a charge that will only cost you $1.61! So not only will stand up in terms of power, it does so without compromising efficiency. Depending on where and how frequently your ride, it may even be your most cost-effective option.

What About The Price?

The upgraded performance of this Zero SR/F motorcycle doesn’t come without cost. The price point sits at around $20,000, which is a bit steeper than other Zero models like the 2019 Zero FXS or the 2019 Zero S motorcycle. Though this is a significant investment, it still figures to be around $10,000 cheaper than the new Harley Davidson Livewire electric motorcycle set to release later this year. Compound that with the savings of riding a premium electric motorcycle and the investment becomes a little less daunting. In fact, if you’re looking to use the Zero SR/F as a commuter bike, it will wind up paying for itself after 5-7 years on fuel and maintenance savings alone.
