What Experts Are Saying

Cycle World (2024 S Review) ★★★★★
“The 2024 Zero S represents a genuine leap forward. The motor upgrade to 68 bhp feels responsive; real-world acceleration is satisfying. The doubled battery capacity (14.4kWh) eliminates range anxiety—113 miles combined is more than most urban commuters need daily. The price-to-performance ratio is outstanding. Suspension quality belies the price point. This is Zero finally offering no-compromise entry-level electric motorcycling.”
Electrek (2024 Lineup Analysis) ★★★★★
“Zero’s 2024 expansion is significant. The mid-range models (S, SR, DS, DSR) fill a critical gap between entry-level FX and flagship SR/F. The new Z-Force 75-7 and 75-10X motors deliver meaningful power increases. Crucially, the expanded battery options mean riders can choose their own range/weight/price tradeoff. This is mature product thinking—not one-size-fits-all.”
BikeWale (India Perspective) ★★★★☆
“Zero Motorcycles’ partnership with Hero MotoCorp signals serious commitment to India. While the 2024 international lineup may not arrive here immediately, the testing of Zero FXE and ZXE models suggests Hero/Zero are developing India-specific electric bikes. For the Indian market, this is genuinely exciting—access to proven electric motorcycle technology at potential Hero-competitive pricing.”
The Pack (2024 Lineup Unveiling) ★★★★★
“EICMA 2023 proved Zero Motorcycles has become genuinely comprehensive. From 46.6 bhp entry-level models to the 113 bhp flagship, from lightweight urban commuters to adventure bikes with real suspension travel, every riding preference finds representation. The pricing—$12,495 to $23,895—positions Zero competitively against gas bikes in many markets. This is electrification maturity.”
