Electric motorcycle breaks world record with 436.5 kms without stopping

A Zero DS covered 436.5 kilometers on a single battery charge. According to the company, Zero Motorcycles is now the new Guinness World Record holder for the longest ride without a charging stop on an electric motorcycle.

Zero Motorcycles, a manufacturer of electric motorcycles founded in the USA in 2006 and now relocated to the Netherlands, has shattered the previous range record for an electric motorcycle by a significant margin. Last year, a Verge TS Pro from Verge Motorcycles achieved a record ride of just under 311 kilometres without stopping to charge. Now, a Zero DS from Zero Motorcycles has covered 436.5 km on a single battery charge.

In fact, it wasn’t just one machine from Zero Motorcycles that participated in the record attempt — three different models from the manufacturer took part. For a potential entry in the Guinness Book of Records, three riders set off on three standard electric motorcycles in the French-Italian Alpine region, heading south through France, over mountain passes, through villages, and along country roads all the way to the Mediterranean coast.

In the end, all three electric motorcycles surpassed the previous record of just under 311 kilometres: Louis Renaud rode his Zero SR/S for 350 kilometres, finishing his journey with 4% battery remaining. Jenny Brooks took the Zero DSR/X to 384 kilometres. For part of the route, she rode with the videographer as a passenger through torrential rain, covering an additional 15 kilometres even after the display showed a battery level of 0%.
