The S (naked street bike), DS (modern scrambler) and FXS (supermoto) models will now only be available in 11kW form (125cc petrol equivalent) with the S and DS also offered with the bigger battery option.

In terms of higher power models, there’s a new accessory touring screen available for the SR/S with two options for the SR/F and colours have been updated throughout, including this ‘Skyspark Effect’ mint green and black option on the SR/F and matt green ‘Sonora’ on the DS.

Prices are unchanged with the exception of the FXS, which rises by £458 to £10,448 (including £1500 government grant).

“The challenges that have come to everyone in 2020 have created some unique bright spots and opportunities for Zero Motorcycles including an amazing boost to our already healthy dual sport model sales” said Sam Paschel, CEO.

“Our facility also had a pair of closures due to pandemic-related lockdowns and recent wildfires which allowed us to stop and take a strategic look at our manufacturing footprint and make improvements that will prove beneficial for years to come.”

Zero dealers in the UK are also currently in the process of selling off their 2020 demonstrators in anticipation of the arrival of the new 2021 bikes, offering the opportunity for more potential savings.
