California-based electric bike brand Zero has unveiled a new electric motorcycle, called the Zero FXE. The bike shares a somewhat similar design with the off-road oriented Zero FX, but with a more premium design, the result of the brand's cooperation with San Francisoco-based HUGE Design. Zero had previewed the style with a one-off concept bike back in 2019, and now the production model has been unveiled, which will be available on sale sometime in September 2021. The Zero FXE will be priced at around $ 11,795 (approximately Rs. 8.85 lakh under current exchange rates) in the US, when it goes on sale.

The bike comes with an interior permanent magnet electric motor with 46 bhp and peak torque of 106 Nm in a kerb weight of just 135 kg. The bike has a claimed top speed of 137 kmph, and has 160 km range in city riding speeds, dropping to around 80 km at around 90 kmph, and 65 km at 110 kmph. The direct-drive "Z-Force 75-5" motor and the 7.2 kWh lithium-ion battery pack sit inside the aluminium frame, and the FXE comes with an on-board three-pin charger which allows 0 to 100 per cent charging in 9.7 hours.

The FXE rides on 17-inch wheels shod with Pirelli Diablo Rosso II tyres. The overall design does look similar to the Zero FXS, and with a street/supermoto styling, the Zero FXE offers a premium, and likely to be entertaining electric roadster. But at close to its 9 lakh price tag, it's still an expensive proposition, although it's not available on sale in India, and not likely to be offered in the Indian market anytime soon.
