Zero Motorcycles — a brand long associated with premium electric motorcycles — has just taken a bold step into urban mobility with the all-new Zero LS1 electric scooter. This launch is more than just a new model: it marks Zero’s strategic expansion into practical, accessible electric two-wheeler transport alongside its low-power offerings like the XE and XB electric bikes. For riders in the UK seeking efficiency, style, and everyday usability, the LS1 further rounds out Zero’s portfolio with a compelling commuter-friendly choice.
Why the LS1 Matters for Zero
Historically, Zero’s lineup has focused on full-size EV motorcycles and lightweight electric off-road bikes — delivering impressive performance and range. The LS1 disrupts this by bringing scooter practicality into the mix, hitting a sweet spot for city commuters and licence-friendly riders. Since the XE and XB already opened the door to lower-power, more affordable electric bikes, the LS1 now completes that accessible ecosystem with a low-power scooter built for everyday life.
By targeting urban riders who want a zero-emissions, low-maintenance, and cost-effective alternative to conventional scooters and bikes, Zero is extending its reach and relevance in a growing EV market.
