In case you haven’t heard, Zero and Lightning have geared up to release a pair of next-generation motorcycles that could make your jaws drop. The two are set to shake the competition within the industry as the two have some serious plans to step up their game. Zero has been in the industry for 13 years and the SR/F electric street bike is set for launch on the 25^th of February. Details of the bike are scarce but sources have claimed that it is going to be a blinder, featuring nearly 20kWh of battery and 120hp (89 kW) of peak performance. The horsepower is capped at 120hp. It is expected that there will be both faired and naked versions of the bike in store, sending bike enthusiasts over the moon.

Apart from that, according to Lightning founder Richard Hatfield, the new middleweight electric sportsbike LS-218 is certainly something to set us over the edge. The teaser of LS-218 has been released and we could not help but think he is right. LS-218 is set for a range of 150 miles (241 km) and has a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h).
