Three years ago, I leased a Chevrolet Bolt, with its EPA range of 238-mile range from a 60 kWh battery. I really liked the powertrain and the overall EV experience. When the lease ended recently, I replaced the Bolt with a Tesla Model 3, which offers a significantly better overall experience. The time has now come to get rid of the remaining gas-powered car in our household. I bought an electric motorcycle, namely a Zero SR 13 \u2014 my 7th motorcycle since the age of 16.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lets_talk_about_torque\"><\/span>Let\u2019s talk about torque<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Established in 2006, Zero Motorcycles designs and produces a range of fully electric motorcycles near Santa Cruz (Northern California).

Image: Zero Motorcycle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>These torque values are not only very high in absolute terms, but \u201cpeak\u201d torque is available at any speed and delivered instantly, thanks to the intrinsic characteristics of electric motors. These values compare very favorably to those of gas-powered bikes. The torquiest production bike, the Triumph Rocket with its 2500 cc engine, is slightly stronger with 220 Nm, but it weighs 291 kg, plus gas. The high performance Suzuki Hayabusa (1300 cc) \u201conly\u201d delivers 158 Nm (266 kg). How about BMW? The German brand\u2019s torquiest bike, the 6-cylinder K 1600, stands at 175 Nm.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Charging_range_Can_e-motorcycles_go_the_distance\"><\/span>Charging &amp; range: Can e-motorcycles go the distance?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Zero SR 13\u2019s reported range is 100 to 150 miles depending on riding conditions. Similar to a battery electric vehicle, the range of an e-motorcycle is highest when riding includes a combination of accelerations and decelerations because of regenerative braking. On the contrary, cruising on the freeway delivers the lowest range \u2014 and is the most boring! I have also experienced fewer than 100 miles when riding hard on twisty roads. Charging is simple. The provided cable plugs into a 110V or 220V electric outlet to charge at 1.5 kW (3 kW for latest models). Zero offers an optional 6 kW onboard charger, enabling Level 2 charging.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, energy cost for an e-motorcycle is a fraction of that of its gas equivalent. A full charge costs me $1.50 (night rate: $0.12\/kWh)! Assuming a consumption of 100 Wh\/mi (62 Wh \/ km), that\u2019s 1.2 cent \/ mi or 0.65\u20ac \/ 100 km. This compares with 8 cents \/ mi or 7.40\u20ac \/ 100 km (at local premium gas price*) for the sporty Suzuki Katana Sport. Not only is energy cost a 1\/10th of its gas counterpart, but oil changes (and brake pads to a large extent) are also gone. However, rear tires on e-motorcycles likely need to be replaced more frequently given the impressive torque \u2014 which I can say I do play with, given the smile it brings on my face every single time.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, electric motorcycles are still more expensive upfront than their gas-powered siblings. The current Zero SR\/S, with 14 kWh, costs about $20k \/ 20k\u20ac vs. around $15k for the nearest equivalent fuel-burning 2 wheeler. But the negative trend observed in the cost of Li-Ion batteries (currently about $120\/kWh vs. $1000 in 2010) means the gap will continue to close.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded wp-image-7740 lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" alt=\"\" width=\"668\" height=\"302\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface.jpeg 875w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface-300x136.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface-768x348.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface-500x226.jpeg 500w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 875px) 100vw, 875px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface.jpeg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface.jpeg\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface.jpeg 875w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface-300x136.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface-768x348.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/zero-motorcycle-connected-interface-500x226.jpeg 500w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/shift\/2020\/11\/18\/electric-motorbikes-are-great-so-why-arent-there-more-syndication\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fshift%2F2020%2F11%2F18%2Felectric-motorbikes-are-great-so-why-arent-there-more-syndication%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: Zero e-motorcycles are connected\" data-title=\"Share Zero e-motorcycles are connected on Twitter\" data-width=\"685\" data-height=\"500\" class=\"post-image-share popitup\" title=\"Share Zero e-motorcycles are connected on Twitter\"><i class=\"icon icon--inline icon--twitter--dark\"\/><\/a>Zero e-motorcycles are connected<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Zero\u2019s motorcycles are connected, to some extent just like my Tesla.

A number of startups have emerged with a purpose similar to Zero\u2019s.

Nevertheless, Zero is the dominant player, in a sort of Tesla-like role.<\/p>\n<p>How about the incumbents? Harley-Davidson is probably the last one I would have expected to offer an e-motorcycle. Yet, they \u2014 and Austria-based KTM \u2014 were the first and are the only ones to do so today. Introduced in 2018, the LiveWire is not as convincing a product as its Zero equivalent. At $30k, it is about 40% more expensive than the Zero SR\/F, is heavier, offers a shorter range but is quicker to 60 mph. KTM has introduced two electric dirt bikes priced below $10k and has yet to offer their street bike counterparts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\">\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyloaded wp-image-7742 lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" alt=\"A Zero e-motorcycle\" width=\"693\" height=\"488\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-1024x720.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-500x352.jpg 500w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1.jpg 1200w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-1024x720.jpg\" data-was-processed=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-1024x720.jpg\" data-lazy=\"true\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-1024x720.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-300x211.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-768x540.jpg 768w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1-500x352.jpg 500w, https:\/\/urbanmobilitydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/harley-davidson-highwire-electric-motorcycle-1.jpg 1200w\"\/><figcaption><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/shift\/2020\/11\/18\/electric-motorbikes-are-great-so-why-arent-there-more-syndication\/#\" data-url=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fthenextweb.com%2Fshift%2F2020%2F11%2F18%2Felectric-motorbikes-are-great-so-why-arent-there-more-syndication%2F&amp;via=thenextweb&amp;related=thenextweb&amp;text=Check out this picture on: The Harley-Davidson LiveWire e-motorcycle.

Last year, the four Asian competitors announced a\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/electrek.co\/2019\/04\/03\/honda-yamaha-kawasaki-electric-motorcycles\/\">partnership<\/a>\u00a0to develop swappable batteries for electric motorcycles, which could pave the way for a much needed, bigger ambition.

However, the pleasure of driving or riding an electric car or motorcycle \u2014 which easily makes you forget the sound of a revving engine \u2014 combined with my dedication to clean mobility made me swap gas for electrons. And there is no going back! The electrification of motorcycles is lagging behind that of passenger vehicles, but I suspect it will pick up once incumbents put products on the market.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article was written by <\/em><em>Marc Amblard, Founder &amp; Managing Director,\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.orsayconsulting.net\/\"><strong>Orsay Consulting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0on <\/em><em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/urbanmobilitycompany.com\/content\/daily\">The Urban Mobility Daily<\/a>, the content site of the Urban Mobility Company, a Paris-based company which is moving the business of mobility forward through physical and virtual eve<\/em><i><span>nts and services.
