ZERO Motorcycles: America's Anti-Oil Answer on Two Wheels
With global oil markets increasingly tied to geopolitical instability — including ongoing tensions in the Middle East — more Americans are asking a simple question: What can I do to stop depending on foreign oil? The answer might be sitting in your garage, or better yet, waiting for you at your local powersports dealer.
Enter ZERO Motorcycles.
What Is ZERO Motorcycles?
ZERO Motorcycles is a California-based electric motorcycle manufacturer that has been building 100% electric bikes since 2006. With a lineup that includes street bikes, dual-sport, and adventure models, ZERO offers a real-world alternative to gas-powered riding — without sacrificing performance.
The Oil Problem
The United States imports millions of barrels of oil every day, and a significant portion of global oil supply flows through regions of ongoing conflict. Every time you fill up at the pump, a portion of that money flows through a global supply chain deeply entangled with foreign governments and volatile markets. For riders who put on serious miles, that adds up — financially and geopolitically.
ZERO: Ride Free from the Pump
ZERO motorcycles run entirely on electricity. That means:
- No gas. Ever. Charge at home, at work, or at a public charging station.
- No oil changes. Electric motors have far fewer moving parts than combustion engines.
- Lower operating costs. Electricity is cheaper per mile than gasoline — often dramatically so.
- Energy independence. Your electricity can come from solar, wind, nuclear, or domestic natural gas — not Iranian oil fields.
Performance That Doesn't Compromise
ZERO bikes aren't golf carts. The ZERO SR/F, for example, produces 110 horsepower and 140 ft-lbs of torque — available instantly, the way only an electric motor can deliver. Whether you're commuting, canyon carving, or hitting the dirt on a ZERO FX, these bikes are built to perform.
The Bigger Picture
Choosing an electric motorcycle isn't just a lifestyle choice — it's a statement. Every mile you ride on a ZERO is a mile that didn't require a drop of imported oil. Multiply that across thousands of riders, and you have a meaningful shift in energy demand.
At a time when energy independence has never felt more urgent, ZERO Motorcycles offers something rare: a way to ride hard, spend less, and opt out of the global oil game entirely.
