Zero Electric Motorcycle Sets a Record, but Not on One Charge

A Zero electric motorcycle has claimed a new distance record during an endurance run. The result highlights the model’s ability to cover long distances with limited downtime, but it does not represent the range achievable on a single charge.

The record was built by adding several charging cycles. That makes it a significant result for electric reliability and charging speed, but it should be viewed differently from absolute-range records, which require covering the greatest possible distance without plugging in.
