Designed for easy upgrades of both hardware and software, Zero Motorcycles’ 2022 SR is a refined sport-cruiser that delivers 227-mile range in-city & 113-miles on the open freeway at 70MPH. It boasts a top speed of 104 but with a hefty little app upgrade, it’ll rip up to 124MPH. The stock 14.4 kWh battery can be factory upgraded to 17.3 kWh for still better performance.
Referencing the ocean’s Mobula Rays and “coral reef structures,” informing the frame design, the latest one-off motorbike from Bandit 9 is called the Supermarine. It should go without saying that this entire bike was custom designed & fabricated. It is powered by a 1200cc Triumph twin.
After more than 2 decades as a beloved naked café bike, Triumph’s new Speed Triple 1200 RR is rolling out with a full fairing. Powered by the same 178 horsepower triple as its predecessor, the new model boasts improved ergonomics, ABS, traction control and four pre-programmed riding modes. Unique fold-away mirrors add a tech-touch and will work great for splitting city traffic.
The CE04 from Bavarian Motor Works’ 2-wheel Motorrad division, is an all-electric scooter that boasts a progressive design & innovative connectivity for today’s commuter. With a top speed of 75MPH it’s borderline freeway worthy & a range of 80 miles makes it a great option for the city. Low, sleek body lines, a “floating” seat design, and its 10-inch TFT color screen with integrated navigation mark it as an innovative high-performance entry in the category.
California-based Zero Motorcycles is one of the top producers of electric bikes. And if their new entry-level FXE model rides anything like their high-end SR series bikes, it’s sure to be a blast. It’s powered by a 34 kW (46 hp) motor and delivers a range of 100 miles. Top speed, about 86 MPH.
