On the features front, the Zero SR/S offers a reverse mode, a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster with smartphone connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation and six riding modes (Rain, Eco, Standard, Sport, Canyon and Custom). Other notable features include a Cypher III+ operating system that offers downloadable upgrades, Bosch’s motorcycle stability control system and heated hand grips.

The Zero SR/S electric bike is available in two variants in Europe: Standard and Premium. The Standard version uses a 14.4kWh Z-Force Li-Ion battery that takes 2.2 hours to fully charge via the standard 220V outlet while the Premium variant gets a 15.6kWh unit that requires 2.4 hours.

Powering the bike is a Z-Force 75-10 permanent magnet AC motor that puts out 82Kw and 190Nm. This motor lends the e-bike a top speed of 200kmph.

The Zero SR/S is priced at CHF 23,580 (around Rs 19.48 lakh). In India, if you are looking to buy an affordable electric bike, the Revolt RV400 and the Tork Kratos are a few options you can consider.
