Zero Motorcycles is aggressively pursuing the title of frontrunner in electric motorcycle technology. It beat its competitors to the punch by being the first with a multi-bike line up. It hosted the first international endurance competition for off-road all-electric vehicles, a 24-hour event held at the 408MX Motocross Track in San Jose, California, where 50 riders on 10 electric dirt bikes thrashed Zero’s electric MX bike unmercifully to prove the company’s electric bikes could endure the same abuse as its gas-powered counterparts. All 10 teams completed the race with the winning squad logging 1015 laps and an average best lap speed of 27.5 mph. Zero has also developed an international presence after opening a new European headquarters in Amsterdam and signing independent representatives in the UK, Germany, France, Austria, Italy and Spain.
