Described as "an unprecedented combination of industry-leading power, control and connection", Santa Cruz, California based Zero Motorcycles' SR/F is said to be their most "innovative and powerful" motorcycle yet.
The new streetfighter styled zero emissions motorcycle is said to be the first "fully smart" motorcycle, incorporating a "revolutionary" new operating system - Cypher III, building on the brand's 13 years of "industry-leading motorcycle and powertrain development, setting a new standard for premium electric performance."

| With a 3 kw rapid charger, prices for the Zero SR/F start at $18,995 |
The SR/F delivers 140 ft-lbs of torque and 110 horsepower. The bike is propelled by Zero's new ZF75-10 motor and ZF14.4 lithium-ion battery. "The compact powertrain boasts innovative air-cooling that increases longevity, eliminates most routine maintenance and effortlessly launches the SR/F to top speed. A single charge delivers up to a 200-mile range with the addition of Zero's Power Tank, which will be available fall 2019."
The Rapid Charge System works on the "large and growing" network of Level 2 charge stations and provides a platform that allows for up to three independent charging modules. This enables "unique adaptability and the fastest recharge capacity in Zero's line-up. With all three modules installed, the SR/F can charge from 0 to 95 percent capacity in one hour."
Features include a steel-trellis frame and concentric swingarm. "As much brains as brawn, the SR/F ensures the rider is in control regardless of conditions, thanks to Zero's new Cypher III operating system and Bosch's Motorcycle Stability Control (MSC)."
Cypher III acts as the central hub, integrating all systems on the motorcycle to a "next-gen app and dash - everything is seamlessly connected for easy and intuitive control."
The SR/F is the first electric motorcycle to integrate Bosch's MSC system, recognized internationally for dynamic acceleration and improved stability regardless of road surface or conditions. Zero says that when combined with Cypher lII, the MSC's "full capabilities are unleashed, resulting in best-in-class straight-line ABS and cornering brake control, traction control and drag torque control.
It is equipped with a dual radial front brake system, adding a level of control that makes shedding speed as effortless as building it.
The SR/F alerts riders regarding bike status, including interruptions in charging and tip-over or unexpected motion notifications, and is equipped with a "Find my Bike" function. Riders can remotely set charging parameters, including Targeted Charge Levels, notification of State of Charge (SoC), Charge Time Scheduling and Charge Tracking. Riders can also gather, relive and share extensive data about their ride through the app.
New updates and diagnostic capabilities will be available, and "the benefits of connectivity are offered free-of-charge for the first two years."
With a 3 kW Rapid Charger, the Xero SR/F starts at $18,995 USD. The premium SR/F model with 6 kW Rapid Charger, fly screen, heated hand grips and aluminum bar ends is $20,995 USD. Both models began shipping to U.S. dealers in May.
