Zero’s “Intelligent Aero” Takes From F1, but True Benefits Remain To Be Seen

I’m going to offer you an electric motorcycle, with a realistic 90-mile range for around 150% of the cost of a comparable ICE. What do you say?

Electric motorcycles are going until manufacturers address the cost and/or range issues, and Zero is, but not in the traditional way. 

Zero Motorcycles collaborated with White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC), which is the company behind the British electric motorcycle land-speed world-record program, to incorporate WMC’s patented intelligent aerodynamic duct on a re-engineered Zero SR/S concept bike.

Although we don’t have any figures that’d indicate exactly how the duct would improve the SR/S’s performance figures, we know it’d result in a 10% reduction in aerodynamic drag.
