Ten years ago, I rode the Zero S ZF9, the first electric motorbike with a range of over 100 miles.
Its top speed was 88mph, the acceleration was breathtaking and the handling was light, but it was an £11,795 bike that looked like a £2,000 one.
Not any longer, I thought as I walked up to the beautifully finished Zero SR/S, the company’s new sports tourer.
