Electric bikes are a contentious topic in the motorcycling world, but Zero is one manufacturer that’s managed to prove the concept. Since its founding in 2006, the California-based brand has released a number of different models — some more successful than others — leading the charge in the effort to convert even the most diehard of petrol heads.
When Zero debuted the SR/F in 2020, it marked the first significant release from the brand in years. Along with a refreshed design language, the bike also introduced a new motor, controller unit, and operating system. Even the display was swapped out to keep things current.
Consequently, the SR/F made for a pretty dramatic departure from past Zero models — especially with regards to performance. When combined with the brand’s ZF14.4 lithium-ion battery, the air-cooled ZF75-10 motor was good for a claimed 110hp and 140lb-ft of torque. At the time, this made it the biggest and most powerful motor Zero had sold in a production bike.
In order to accommodate the extra go, the SR/F came standard with Showa suspension, Pirelli tires, and J.Juan four-piston brakes. Per Motorcycle News, such a feature set made the bike “a huge leap forwards in speed, sophistication and recharge time over the firm’s previous generation of bikes. The result is easily the best road-going electric bike yet, offering truly comparable power, weight, handling and excitement to a regular roadster.”
The Premium model of the bike (which this one is), came with an upgraded 6kW rapid charging system, versus 3kW on the base version. This feature offered a big improvement on charging time when using Level 2 charging systems (220V), juicing up the bike from 0-95% in about one to one and a half hours, whereas the base model can take up to four hours.
