Introduction
Electric motorcycles have been around for years, but they’re still quite new to consumers. They are becoming more popular, though, as brands like Harley Davidson and Zero Motorcycles introduce more models that are affordable and easy to ride.
Zero Motorcycles
Zero Motorcycles is a brand that has been around since 2006, and their bikes are all electric. They have a range of models that offer different features at various price points. These include the Zero S, SR, DSR (dual sport) and FXS (fat tire).
Zero S: This model costs $11,995 and has an estimated range of up to 160 miles per charge in city conditions or 90 miles per charge on the highway. The bike weighs 380 pounds with its battery pack installed; it can reach speeds up to 93 miles per hour when fully charged and has power delivery via two brushless motors located in front as well as rear axles with torque-vectoring capability built into both systems so that you get maximum traction when accelerating or turning corners quickly–even if conditions aren’t ideal for riding motorcycles fast!
Zeros are the most well-known electric motorcycle on the market.
Zeros are the most well-known electric motorcycle on the market. They’re also one of the most affordable, starting at $12,995 for a single speed transmission and up to $15,995 for an upgraded six-speed model. The Zero S is by far their best seller; it comes with a 2kWh battery pack that can be upgraded to an 8kWh pack if you need more range or want faster charging times (which takes about 3 hours).
The SR offers three different battery options: 4kWh ($14,495), 6kWh ($16,495) and 8kWh ($18,495). The biggest difference between each model is how much distance it can travel before needing to recharge: about 100 miles on 4 kWh; 120 miles on 6 kWh; 140 miles on 8 kWh (for comparison’s sake–the average car gets around 25 mpg.)
The Zero S starts at $12,995 and comes with a single speed transmission, but it can be upgraded to a 6-speed transmission.
The Zero S is the most affordable Zero motorcycle and it comes in two models: base model and R. The base model has a single speed transmission, but it can be upgraded to a 6-speed transmission for an additional $600.
The R model costs about $1,000 more than the base version but comes with features like larger wheels and tires, higher capacity batteries (up to 15 kWh), faster charging times (up to 80{a5ecc776959f091c949c169bc862f9277bcf9d85da7cccd96cab34960af80885} in 30 minutes vs 90 minutes), regenerative braking system that captures energy from deceleration instead of wasting it as heat like most other electric vehicles do…
“The Zero SR,” says Dylan Dishell, the founder of Blue Valley Bicycles, “has better performance than any other electric motorcycles on the market.”
If you’re looking for an electric motorcycle, the Zero SR is the best choice.
The SR is the fastest bike in its class, with a top speed of 119 miles per hour and acceleration from 0-60 mph in 2.8 seconds. It also has the longest range at 240 miles (up from 186 miles on last year’s model), thanks to its improved battery technology and an upgraded charger that can provide faster charging speeds than before.
The bike’s new regenerative braking system gives riders more control over their ride experience by allowing them to use both engine power or regenerative energy when coming to a stop–a feature that gives riders more control over their ride experience without sacrificing performance or range capabilities
Harley Davidson Live Wire
The Harley Davidson Live Wire is an electric motorcycle that can go up to 80 mph and travel up to 50 miles on a single charge. It has two modes: Sport and Eco, which adjust the throttle response and maximum speed of the bike accordingly. The base model costs $29,000 while the limited edition model costs $34,000–but if you’re willing to spend that much money on an e-bike, why bother buying one?

The Harley Davidson Live Wire has a top speed of 80 mph and can travel up to 50 miles on a single charge. The motorcycle can be charged with a standard outlet, or you can opt for an optional fast charger that will get it up to full power in just 3 hours.

The Live Wire costs $29,000 for the base model or $34,000 for the limited edition model. This price is not including taxes and fees, so you’ll have to pay additional money when you purchase it from your local dealer.
The Live Wire is a two-wheel electric motorcycle that can go up to 100 mph with its dual motor setup (one motor powers each wheel). It has regenerative braking that allows riders to recharge their batteries while slowing down or stopping on hills or other inclines by using their feet as brakes instead of using traditional hydraulic disc brakes like most cars do today in order to stop safely without skidding out from under control (which would cause damage).
“It’s expensive,” says Dylan Dishell, “so the amount of money that you invest in it will be offset by how much you save on gas.”
The cost of an electric motorcycle is higher than that of a gas-powered one, but you’ll be able to recoup those costs by saving on fuel and maintenance.

Conclusion
There are many different electric motorcycles on the market, but they all have one thing in common: they’re expensive. If you want to lower the cost of buying an e-bike, then try looking into some of these derivatives. They might not be as flashy as Harley Davidson’s Live Wire or Zero Motorcycles’ SR model, but they will still get you where you need to go without spending too much money upfront.
