Zero Motorcycles marked its 20th anniversary at EICMA 2026 with several new electric two-wheelers and technology plans. The headline announcement was Project Ventura, a lightweight electric street motorcycle with a targeted price below $8,000. The company also revealed a street-legal XE dirt bike for the US market and announced plans for its LS3 scooter to launch in Europe.
Project Ventura has supermoto-inspired styling, 17-inch wheels and a new powertrain producing more than 20 kW (27 hp) at peak. Zero estimates a sustained top speed of 65 mph (105 km/h), with a short-term maximum of 81 mph (130 km/h), and a real-world range of 93 miles (150 km). Battery capacity has not been disclosed. The bike will include onboard Level 2 AC charging, ABS and Bluetooth connectivity, and is expected to arrive in summer 2027.
The road-legal XE adds street equipment, including front and rear lights and a centrally mounted dashboard, to Zero’s lightweight electric dirt bike. Revised gearing is intended to balance off-road ability with road speeds; Zero claims a top speed of 60 mph (97 km/h). The model is expected in spring 2027, with prices starting at $6,295.
Zero is bringing the LS3 electric scooter to Europe in spring 2027. It has a claimed top speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and a range of up to 93 miles (150 km) from three batteries with a combined capacity of 5.6 kWh. One battery can be removed from beneath the seat, freeing up storage space. The scooter also includes heated grips and a heated seat.
A redesigned Zero smartphone app is planned for 2027 and is being developed for the LS3, Project Ventura and the company’s 2027 Street and Dual Sport motorcycles. It will let riders customize selected riding-mode settings, find charging stations, review optional ride histories and adjust dashboard layouts. The app will also offer battery-management controls and tools for sending feedback and support requests.
Zero is targeting 2027 for the launch of DC fast charging on compatible Street and Dual Sport motorcycles. The system is designed to charge batteries from 20% to 80% in less than 30 minutes. European models will use CCS connectors, while North American models will use NACS. Zero is also developing a retrofit option for eligible existing motorcycles, but has not yet announced pricing or a full compatibility list.} Jiova_end%timeout平台总代}
