Zero Motorcycles, which claims to be one of the best-known manufacturers of electric motorcycles, has announced a change in its top management. Pierre-Martin Bos is taking over as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with immediate effect. He succeeds Sam Paschel, who has led the company for the past eight years and will remain in an advisory role as Senior Board Advisor.

The pioneer in electric motorcycles plans to relocate its key global corporate functions from its current US headquarters to the Netherlands. This will make the Dutch office near Amsterdam the manufacturer’s new global headquarters.

The dispute between the European Union and the United States is escalating to a new level – and this could have serious consequences for motorcycle manufacturers such as Harley-Davidson, Indian Motorcycle and Zero Motorcycles.  The background to this are planned punitive tariffs of 50 percent on US motorcycles with a displacement of more than 500 cm³, which are due to come into force from mid-April 2025.  A measure that is likely to put considerable pressure on the European market for US bikes.

Zero Motorcycles has recently filed a patent application indicating a new clutch system for electric motorcycles.  This system could have a significant impact on the riding experience of electric motorcycles and brings traditional elements to modern electric motorcycle technology.

Zero Motorcycles’ “Design the Future” development program has once again produced an impressive concept motorcycle.  The SR-X model is a one-off and a reinterpretation of the premium SR/S electric motorcycle.  With this concept bike, Zero Motorcycles and Huge Design are showing the way for future electric motorcycle design.

Zero is recalling the SR, SR/F and SR/S models because it is possible that brake pads from the smaller sister models may have been installed.

With a picture in the social media Zero announces a presentation for the 07/13/2021. However, more detailed information has not yet been revealed.

The Zero SR/F and SR/S electric motorcycles will be recalled due to possible problems with the brake switch.
