Electric motorcycles have spent years trying to answer one very annoying question: why are they so damn expensive? It’s not a fun question, either. Nobody wants to be the person at the dealership explaining that the motorcycle costs more because it has fewer moving parts.
Yet that’s been the reality for electric bike manufacturers since day one. The technology is cool. The performance is impressive. The price tag, however, tends to make people suddenly very interested in used motorcycles again. That’s why a new promotion from Zero Motorcycles in the Netherlands caught my attention. On paper, it’s a celebration of the company’s 20th anniversary. In practice, it’s something much more interesting.
