The Zero DSR is an ambitious concept, an electric motorbike intended for adventure riding. Despite the Zero DSR’s 69bhp and 108ftlb of torque (that’s more torque than a KTM 1290 Superduke R), the current rules mean that it can be ridden on an A2 licence.
MCN have been running the previous version of the Zero DSR as a long term test bike in 2018 and it is a capable and fun machine, but the long charge times (in comparison with filling up a petrol bike) make it difficult to live with apart from as a commuter.
The 2019 version takes the 69bhp, 108ftlb motor in the existing models and adds the new ZF14.4 battery and a host of adventure riding accessories including dual-sport windscreen, tank grips, hand guards and a 12V accessory socket.
