Zero Motorcycles shatters EV world record for traveling on two wheels
Zero Motorcycles smashes world record as its all-electric DS travels 271-miles without stopping.
Zero Motorcycles has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest distance traveled on a motorcycle using a single charge. Their Standard Zero DS adventure bike covered over 271 miles on a single charge of its 19.2 kWh battery pack, which is 40% further than the previous record holder. The record was set in a mountainous region of France, using factory standard tires and the Power Tank battery upgrade.
Three riders completed the journey, with the Zero SRS and DSR/X models achieving 217 and 239 miles respectively. Zero Motorcycles' Senior Director Global Marketing, Jarno Middelbosch, highlighted range anxiety as a major concern for electric motorcycle riders, but the record attempt demonstrates what is possible with planning and efficient riding.
However, advancements in battery technology, such as solid-state batteries, could lead to even more impressive records in the future.
