Zero launches two new motorcycles, tough and the cheapest in the catalog, to once again beat the competition

It was a surprise to discover what Zero Motorcycles was hiding under the red fabric, and on the occasion of the EICMA 2024 in Milan we already know that these are two motorcycles for off-road use and enjoyment, completely new, to which they join a naked style concept.

The newly released frames are part of a strategy that seeks to make the range much more accessible, since until now the cheapest was the Zero FXwhich is around 14,000 euros, and that is a somewhat high budget to reach a wide audience.

The two new models of access to Zero

That just changed with the arrival of the Zero XE and the Zero XBwhich considerably reduce the price mentioned above, and are offered in two well-differentiated categories of motorcycles.

On the one hand, the Zero XBwhich is the new manufacturer access model. We are looking at a class motorcycle L1ethat is, a moped that can be driven with the AM permission from the age of 15 or with a B car driving license.

It is an option with hardened aspirations, which is obviously limited to a maximum speed of 45 kilometers/hour, and whose maximum power is 10 hpalthough the nominal one is lower, so that it can be placed in the moped category.

The removable type battery has a capacity of 2.4 kWh and can travel up to 75 kilometers for each full recharge, which takes about three hours.

The other bike is the Zero XEsimilar in style to its little sister, but of higher quality L3ethat is, a frame equivalent to a 125 cubic centimeter combustion chamber. Delivers a maximum power of 21 hp and the maximum speed it can achieve is 85 kilometers/hour. That is, you can drive with the permission A1 and with one of car B three years old.

For this, the battery pack, also removable, grows to 4.3 kWh in capacity, which can reach a autonomy of 100 kilometers by completely recharging the component. The time required is about five and a half hours for a domestic outlet.

Prices of the Zero XE and Zero XB

We move on to the price section, which is one of the main attractions of these motorcycles, since the Zero XB for access to the brand costs 4,475 euroswhile the Zero XE has an established rate of 6,510 eurosand you can still apply the Moves III Plan to the latter.

That would mean an extra discount of 1,300 euros with scrap or 1,100 euros if there is no other antique frame in the transaction. For now, what can be done is reserve themupon payment of 100 euros.

The third novelty of Zero has been a concept called Neutrinoa naked-style motorcycle of which there is little more than an image, but which indicates that in the future it will be a new entry model to the segment, possibly also in L1e and L3e options.
