The Zero S is an electric motorcycle made by Zero Motorcycles.

On 23 April 2009 the company announced it would establish a distribution network in the Canadian market while getting regulatory approval for selling the motorcycle in Canada.[1] It expects to start selling in Canada by early July 2009.[1]

The 2009 Zero S had a claimed expected range of 81 km (50 mi) on a full charge, and an advertised top speed of 112 km/h (70 mph),[1] Zero claims the motor is rated at 22 kW (30 hp).[2] The battery can be recharged using standard 120 V or 240 V plugs.

Zero made minor changes and small battery improvements to the 2014 Zero S, and added ABS brakes to the 2015 model, and further battery improvements in 2016.
