Zero Motorcycles Sr

The Zero Motorcycles Sr has a top speed of 164 km/h, produces 70 hp and weighs 188 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

La Zero SR a été présentée en 2013 en tant que modèle électrique haute performance phare de Zero Motorcycles, s'appuyant sur le succès de leur précédente plate-forme S. Il a été conçu pour offrir une puissance et une autonomie maximales aux conducteurs sérieux, grâce à des batteries ZF de plus en plus performantes et à la technologie du moteur Z-Force qui a évolué au fil des années modèles successives. La SR a fait de Zero une marque de véhicules électriques aux performances crédibles et est devenue une référence pour les motos électriques sur le segment routier.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

🔋

Battery Longevity Matters

The Zero SR's Z-Force lithium battery is rated for over 200,000 miles of charge cycles, but used buyers should verify the battery health report via the Zero app, as degraded packs are expensive to replace.

📉

Steep Resale Depreciation

Zero SR models depreciate quickly — often 30-40% in the first two years — making used examples great value buys, though rapid tech advancements can make older models feel outdated.

⚙️

Minimal Maintenance Costs

With no oil changes, spark plugs, or clutch to service, annual maintenance costs are dramatically lower than gas bikes, typically under $100/year for brake fluid and tire checks.

Urban commuters wanting fast, low-maintenance daily transport

"A genuinely impressive urban weapon if battery health checks out."

$7,000-$13,000 used

The Zero SR is genuinely quick — that instant torque will catch you off guard the first time you pin it. Used examples from 2019 onwards are the sweet spot; Zero sorted most of the early software gremlins by then and the motor itself is impressively bulletproof. Battery degradation is the big wildcard here. Always ask for the battery health report through the Zero app before handing over cash — anything below 85% capacity on a high-mileage unit is a negotiating chip or a walk-away scenario. Range anxiety is real but manageable once you adjust your riding habits. City commuting is where this bike absolutely shines — 80-100 miles is achievable in urban conditions. Long weekend blasts are a different story. Charging infrastructure still lags behind and DC fast charging on older SRs is painfully slow without the optional Charge Tank upgrade. Check whether that's fitted. Servicing costs are genuinely lower than comparable petrol bikes. No oil, no valves, no chain on some models. But when something does go wrong electrically, dealer knowledge outside the US can be patchy.
