2014 Zero SR on Totalmotorcycle.com

More power. Higher top speed. Greater acceleration..

The “R” configuration of the Zero S is designed for riders who simply want to go faster and accelerate harder. Aptly named on account of its performance and ability to dominate, the Zero SR features a larger 660 amp motor controller that provides 24% more power and 56% higher torque, delivering 106 ft-lbs. To accommodate the increased power, the Zero SR motor uses higher temperature magnets to ensure better performance during extended durations at higher speeds.

Capable of doing 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and of hitting over 100 mph using direct drive, the Zero SR offers spirited riders an edge in competitive riding. The only motorcycle in the lineup available in red, the tank section of the motorcycle is highlighted with a sophisticated “Zero SR” emblem and the tail section features the motor controller with a bold and elegantly designed heat sink.

Sorry for the day late on putting this up. I have to blame the American Thanksgiving and Black Friday! DOH!!

Thanks to blues2cruise for the PM to remind me!

Mike

[JackoftheGreen]

I know someone will criticize this bike on account of it's range, but 130 miles is all I'm used to getting between fuel stops anyway. Granted the charge time is sure to be longer than to top up a tank at the corner station, but then we have to compare $12.00 to fill my tank versus ~$1.80 to charge the Zero's battery. With that sort of operational cost, Zero is bringing entirely new strata to the 'motorcycle as economy buster' field. Granted, THIS bike isn't the embodiment of that business model, but seeing these sort of performance numbers lined up alongside the economic numbers, it boggles the mind. And there's no clutching or shifting, so a beginner may very well glom onto a Zero and never look back. Once the pricing comes down, it'll be tough selling a typical standard to a bikecurious shopper alongside these dream machines.

Now, to be fair, THIS Zero has all the same problems for me that the KTM had -- just not the bike for my riding preference. So let me apologize in advance, because this vote is purely political...

Awesome.

[blues2cruise]

I think they are very cool. The leg position, price and range prevent it from being awesome. It would be a good commuter, but that limited range would prevent any day tripping with it.

[Gummiente]

Awesome. Electric motorcycles have come a long ways in the last decade and Zero is right at the forefront of the progression. The technology and features on this bike are amazing and the warranty is better than most offered on gas powered bikes. The price is finally coming down to a more affordable range, which IMO has been the main reason why they've never been a strong seller, so maybe now they'll get more interest.

I would love to have one of these to commute with, especially if it could handle a sidecar.

[BobK]

I'd really like to take a test ride on one of those.

[BRUMBEAR]

I voted cool I really like where the E machines are going and it is a great looking platform. I can't give it an awesome cause it has no exhaust tune and I need a tune . Seriously though in hindsight I could have voted awesome the machine is pretty cool.

[Gummiente]

I can't give it an awesome cause it has no exhaust tune and I need a tune.

Very good point. Part of the whole motorcycling experience is the sound of your bike, that glorious noise that emanates from within the machine's heart. I love the sound of my Road Glide's exhaust (and before anyone throws out a comment from the peanut gallery, my bike has the stock mufflers) and the all the whirring and clicking from the motor, it feeds my soul and brings a smile to my face.

But what does one listen to on a Zero? Is there at least even a little bit of mechanical noise to let one know that the heart of the beast is pumping? It must be an eerie experience to wick up the throttle to pass a car and hear only the wind rushing past your ears. I'll bet none of the "loud pipes" crowd could handle riding one of these.

[sunshine229]

I voted Cool, for the looks and the benefit to the environment.

What a neat looking bike. And not just neat as in "neat-o" but it's so neat and clean too!

Zero's are looking better and better each year, and the mileage is getting better as well. The price is just a little too high still though.

Anyone else notice the hole in the middle of the bike???

[JackoftheGreen]

The lack of any exhaust note is an interesting viewpoint. I'm a 'loud pipe' guy myself.

Somewhere here on TMW is a long-standing thread about folk who ride with earplugs in, I remember reading through it with interest a few months ago. I may even have commented. So perhaps the earplug people would welcome a dead-silent ride beneath them, then, it's just wind noise to compete with.

The auto industry had this debate with electric cars a few years ago, and IIRC there was actually a regulation passed that requires a minimum decibel level for all vehicles. I remember an episode of the CNET CarTech podcast where they discussed multiple possible sounds for one in particular - I forget which - to make, utilizing an amplified speaker concealed somewhere on the car. They ranged from electronic hums to the raspberry 'Jetsons' sound to an oscillating wave form, all of which increased in amplitude or pitch under harder acceleration. I also think the sound shut off above a certain MPH, maybe 20? It was mainly to prevent parking lot pedestrians and such from mistaking a moving vehicle for a stopped one. Quite an interesting episode, and I wonder when that debate will fall on Zero's doorstep. Having to run a speaker during low-speed maneuvers is going to put a damper on their battery life.

And Andrea, I hadn't noticed the hole there in the middle. That'd be a great place to stash your registration...
