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? You don’t need to answer, sales figures and the general vibe of the motorcycle community have answered for you. 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.
