amply announced, Zero Motorcycles He has finally unveiled the wait SR/F, naked sportiva 100% electric built on a totally new platform, fruit of the experience acquired by California House for thirteen years in the electric motorcycle production.
A completely new platform.
New chassis, with a beautiful trellis reminiscent of Italic and a nice powerful swing, the new operating system – baptized Cypher III – the new components with radially mounted brake calipers and stability control MSC (Motorcycle Stability Control) of Bosch and again motor ZF75-10 able to 190 Nm di coppia e 82 kW (110 CV) power. Enough to quickly reach 200 times…
The SR/F it is certainly the first of a new series of branded Zero motorcycles, a family that is placed in the high end of the range and aims to always perceive more electric bike like a real motorcycle and not a “techno-whim” per radical chic. I remember that the other models that make up the list are FX ed FXS (enduro and motard) and the series S, SR, DS and DSR, I'm using it in motion My long test.
More powerful, more efficient, more connected
The more polished look and aggressive is coupled with a performance increase Zero than we already know. It should also improve driving pleasure thanks to a more advanced chassis and electronic controls: the anti-skid becomes very pleasing when you have all that torque available to handcuff.
The new operating system and the possibility of having the always connected motorbike Finally let some cool features like “Find my bike” if there is not more we remembered where we parked (really it happens?) and configure the recharge parameters.
As introduced by the Harley-Davidson LiveWire, also the Zero SR / F allows store all the data of our motorcycle ride, by location, the speed, the angle of inclination to power, couple, energy consumed or regenerated. We can then share – if we want – all this data and make us beautiful with our friends.
Beyond our company reputation, it is information that could become important in the event of an accident or an offense.
How far does the SR / F with a refill?
The autonomy of the Zero SR / F obviously varies from the use and ranges from 130 km on the highway to 160 km around in mixed use up to 260 about urban use. If we equip with an additional Power Tank, or an additional battery installed in the home production, autonomy can overcome 300 km in the city.
On Zero SR / F is mounted a battery 14.4 kWh. This One, combined with a greater efficiency, allow the motion autonomies higher than those already on the market that mount batteries… identical.
This point for me is quite a disappointment. Not so much because battery 14.4 kWh It is not sufficient for the kind of utlizzo for which it is designed this naked, but because at least on paper there is a real breakthrough compared to previous models. We'll see the evidence shows.
As the time when charging the Zero SR / F?
The charging times improve compared to the past, however, also depend on the purchased version. The Zero SR / F will in fact be available in the spring in two versions: the Standard e la Premium. The first mounts a charger 3kW, so fast but not fast, while the premium it mounts one from 6 kW. Moreover, the latter is also equipped with fairing, heated grips and counterweights to aluminum handlebars.
For the Standard is thus about a refill 100% in 4,5 hours, while the Premium 2,5 hours. Times that you can greatly reduce if we stick to a column by 6 kW and become 1,8 hours for 100% Standard and 1,5 for the 100% the Premium! And this is good news.
How much is all this technology?
We therefore in the usual sore point of the price: 20.990 € for Standard and 23.290 the Premium.
Lo so, I know, It is a blow to the heart.
As I always say, however,, with electric bikes have to make an account on more years and kilometers. Smearing the list price and adding it to what it saves in terms of maintenance and fuel, the initial request appears much less exaggerated or unattainable.
Anyhow, it is over ten thousand euro less than the Harley-Davidson LiveWire…
