2021 Zero SR/F: A Naked Motorcycle With Unlimited Torque

The 2021 Zero SR/F is one of the top models that Zero Motorcycles offers in their 2021 lineup; a naked version of its SR/S full-fairing street-bike-styled brother. This model has all the industry leading features you would expect to find in a $21,000 EV motorcycle making it the most expensive model that Zero currently offers.

To put the capabilities of EV motorcycles into perspective, the 2020 Ducati Panigale V4 – maxed-out Ferrari of the motorcycle world – generates 91 lb-ft of torque. This year’s Zero SR/F produces a neck-snapping 140 lb-ft of torque. That’s 35% more torque than the industry-leading gas-powered motorcycle.

Where does all this power come from? 14.4 kWh Z-Force Li-Ion batteries power the electric motor efficiently as possible to give riders a range of around 161 miles in the city and 99 miles on the highway after a 1.8 hour charge at a 6 kW Rapid Charge station (8.5 hour charge time with EVSE cord and standard outlet).

The American-built SR/F also includes other features such as multiple ride modes, BOSCH Motorcycle Stability Control (this is probably good to have when riding a motorcycle that produces 140 lb-ft of torque at any rpm), and if you get the premium model, there are tons of extras like a full color LCD display, cruise control, heated grips, and much more.

The 2021 Zero SR/F starts at $21,495 USD / $28,626 CAD.

2021 Zero SR/F Features

ZF14.4 Battery Pack

The ZF14.4 lithium-ion battery makes the SR/F capable of a 200-mile maximum range.* The battery’s industry-leading power and energy density combined with an aluminum heat-sink housing and thermal transfer interface ensure consistent cell cooling and maximum long-term powertrain performance.

* Note: Maximum city range includes addition of Zero’s Power Tank, available March, 2020.

ZF75-10 Motor

The ZF75-10 motor delivers 140 ft-lbs of torque and 110 hp, effortlessly propelling the SR/F to a top speed of 124 mph. Pairing Zero’s renowned internal permanent magnet brushless architecture and a passively air-cooled compact design creates class-leading performance and efficiency.

Rapid Charge System

Our all-new scalable Rapid Charge System allows the bike to be configured for 3 kW, 6 kW, 9 kW or 12 kW of charging at any standard Level 2 charge station.* The SR/F Rapid Charge System will be able to charge at 38 miles of range per hour of charging (mphc) on 3 kW, 76 mphc on 6 kw, and 153 mphc on 12 kW which can recharge the battery pack to 95% capacity in 1 hour of charging.

* Note: SR/F requires use of included EVSE cord in order to charge on a standard 110 V wall outlet.

Power Pivot

A proprietary concentric motor and swingarm pivot design provide the optimal architecture to ensure constant drive-belt tension and maximum torque delivery to the rear wheel. A custom-designed, large-bearing swingarm pivot allows ample space for the high-performance motor while allowing a slim chassis waist to enhance rider ergonomics and bike maneuverability.
