Zero expands DSR and SR electric bike performance and range

Electric motorbike maker Zero has upgraded two of its models for 2024, bringing new drivetrain technology alongside cosmetic updates.

The mid-level DSR has been given a visual refresh and new battery and motor to offer improved range and performance. Priced from £17,000, the 2024 DSR is offered as a A2 licence-compatible bike, with the option to upgrade to a full A licence-spec bike. In standard guise, it offers 70bhp and 125lb ft of torque, which can be derestricted to 80bhp and 144lb ft.

The new 15.6 kWh battery brings a city commuting range of 155 miles or high-speed commuting range of 100 miles, and can be charged in just under 2 hours with an optional 6kW charger.

The DSR’s smaller sibling, the SR has also been upgraded with an improved city range of 162 miles (102 miles on the high-speed cycle) and torque boosted to 76lb ft. The SR is available now, priced from £16,200.

The company is also offering a major discount on its premium package. The bundle, which unlocks more power and torque and also includes a 6kW Rapid Charger for three times the charging speed, is currently reduced from £4,000 to £350.

Dale Robinson, UK country manager for Zero, said: “We are really excited about the launch of the new DSR and SR. It marks a really exciting time to be a part of Zero, expanding our range and improving products which have already shown to be a success.

“The EV bike market is, by our own admission, a challenging space to be, but we are consistently proving doubters wrong time and time again with technology we are developing, the product we have on offer, and the myths we love to bust.”
