Zero Motorcycles, a leader in premium electric motorcycles, introduced its All Access initiative at EICMA, aiming to attract a broader customer base with six new models priced under $10,000.
This bold step into the affordable electric motorcycle market is supported by Zero’s collaboration with China-based Zongshen, enabling cost efficiencies on motor and battery components for the U.S.-based company.
The first models in the All Access lineup are the Zero XE and Zero XB, which offer trail-ready features at notably accessible price points. The Zero XE, positioned as the brand’s first true trail bike, is equipped with a 4.3 kWh removable battery and a 15.5 kW motor, reaching speeds up to 85 km/h (53 mph).
The XE starts at $6,495 in the U.S. and €6,500 in Europe, where it will also be available as a street-legal model. Meanwhile, the compact Zero XB, closer in specifications to the lightweight Sur Ron and Talaria bikes, boasts a 7.5 kW motor and a smaller 2.4 kWh removable battery, offering a range of up to 75 km (47 miles) and a top speed of 45 km/h (28 mph). The XB is priced at $4,195 in the U.S. and €4,500 in Europe, targeting entry-level riders and off-road enthusiasts.
“The new X Line delivers high-performance options in one of the fastest-growing market categories,” stated Sam Paschel, CEO of Zero Motorcycles. “From the beginning, our goal has been to redefine two-wheeled transportation, and we’re committed to delivering this vision to our expanding rider community.”
The X Line’s models are expected to appeal to a wide range of users, with Zero’s focus on balancing Zongshen’s cost-effective technology with signature features like precision throttle control, factory-tuned suspension, and a high-quality TFT display. As part of Zero’s expanding portfolio, the All Access initiative marks a pivotal shift in its strategy to make electric motorcycles more attainable for a global audience.
