The 2022 SR from Zero Motorcycles comes with in-app purchases

Zero, one of the biggest electric motorbike brands, has announced the 2022 SR, which allows you to upgrade its capabilities through in-app purchases. The Cypher Store, where you can buy upgrades to abilities such as torque or speed, will be available via the Zero app or online.

A mixture of comfort and performance features will be available via the app, such as extended range, on-dash navigation, faster charging and a parking mode. The cost of each element will depend on the model of your bike.

The 2022 SR comes with a 14.4 kWh lithium-ion battery, which can be upgraded to a maximum of 20.9 kWh through a combination of software and hardware changes. At the maximum capacity, Zero claims that you can travel 227 miles (~365 km) at lower speeds or 113 miles (~182 km) at 70 mph (~113 kph).

With 122 lb-ft (~152 Nm) of torque and 74 horsepower, the 2022 SR has a top speed of 104 mph (~167 kph). You can upgrade to up to 113 horsepower, which increases your maximum speed to 124 mph (~200 kph). The 2022 SR will be available to buy early next year, costing US$17,999 (~€15,580).
