ZERO MOTORCYCLES ANNOUNCES DELIVERY UPDATES AND PRICE INCENTIVES FOR XB AND XE CUSTOMERS

Customers Encouraged to Secure Current XB and XE Pricing Before May 18, 2025

 SANTA CRUZ, Calif., (May 1, 2025) – Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in electric motorcycles and powertrains, today announced updates to model XB and XE reservations. Adjustments will be made in delivery timelines and pricing structure in the U.S. market as Zero navigates the effects of tariffs and recent changes in the global economic landscape.

To better serve the riding community, Zero is providing U.S. customers and dealers the opportunity to secure current pricing on the XB ($4,195) and XE ($6,495) models and will honor the original price for any customers with existing reservations. Additionally, U.S.-bound deliveries of existing reservations will begin Summer 2025 as planned, while new reservations placed from May 1, 2025, onward will have an estimated delivery in Fall 2025.

U.S. customers who place reservations from May 1, 2025, through May 18, 2025, will lock in the current listed pricing for their orders. Reservations made after the May 18 deadline will reflect updated pricing to account for added import fees.

Customers in Canada, Europe, and around the world, less impacted by global trade relationships, will not be affected by the new pricing structure and delivery timeline.

“Zero Motorcycles remains committed in our mission to deliver industry-leading electric motorcycles while maintaining an accessible price point for consumers around the world,” said Sam Paschel, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. And by honoring prices for early reservation holders – despite the shifting global economy – we’re reinforcing our position as the leader in the electric space and building the future of two-wheel transportation.”
