Zero Motorcycles presents the new range for 2024 at EICMA 2023.

The well-known Californian brand, which has made two-wheeled electric mobility a true revolution, has in mind an even broader market. For the next year of 2024, Zero Motorcycles takes advantage of the EICMA event to reach a larger number of potential users who will be seduced by the features of the 2024 range models. The first aspect to highlight is that, for the entire upcoming campaign, Zero announces a price limit for all models on offer and presents important news for the Street and Dual Sport ranges and, not least, especially in terms of the market, the 11 kW range.

The Dual Sport range sees the introduction of a new DSR/X configuration which, for 2024, now comes with spoked wheels equipped with Pirelli Scorpion tires to ensure, from the start, a more adventurous performance. For the first time, the DSR/X will be offered with a motor that can be registered up to 11 kW and can therefore be ridden from the age of 16 or with a B license; this market approach also involves the Zero DS and the DSR MY24, which will be available to A1, B, and A2 license holders to satisfy all potential users who want 100% electric motorcycles without sacrificing quality finishes and a performance that, especially in terms of torque, is certainly very interesting.

The Black Forest Edition is the top of the range of the DSR/X, a novelty for 2024, which offers a super complete setup, a color scheme entirely in glossy black and stands out from the standard version by a large windscreen, hand guards, engine guards, headlight guards, supplementary headlights, center stand, and a set of panniers. As if that weren’t enough, a chain kit is also available instead of the final belt drive for more demanding off-road situations. The Street range has the SR/F and SR/S as flagship models, and at EICMA 2023, all the details of the new “S” are revealed, built on the platform of its larger-displacement sisters, but registered as 11 kW and therefore also suitable for 16-year-olds with an A1 license or 18-year-olds with a B license. The new Zero S MY24 is equipped with the new Z-Force 75-7 engine with excellent performance, particularly compared to an endothermic engine of equal power. It also features the same external hardware derived from the more powerful SR/F. The result is a weight of 223 kg, a more than good value in the electric naked segment. Among the models in the Street range that have evolved for potential users is the SR, which in 2024 will be available for A2 license holders, but with the possibility of an upgrade to an A license.

Thus, the 11 kW range is the subject of the introduction of the Zero S, Zero DS, and Zero FXE. By 2024, the goal is to open the market to young drivers and favor those who use or intend to use their motorcycles mainly in city centers, where electric mobility can have a very convincing appeal, considering the limited operating costs and increasingly favorable laws for this type of motorcycles. In this segment, the advantage of an electric vehicle is also provided by the typical power. By its very nature, the electric drive unit offers a high torque value for the pleasure of driving and the feeling of power, when compared to an internal combustion engine of equal power.

Zero Motorcycles wants to capitalize on this advantage in the new year and, with the strength of renewed and high-level technology, both in terms of electronics and the ability to switch between different power levels, depending on the type of license held, it aims to expand its limits.
