Zero Motorcycles has announced that its newest line of electric motorbikes will see a price increase in the US due to the Trump Administration\u2019s tariff policy. But the saving grace is that the company is allowing reservations made in the next few weeks to secure pre-tariff pricing.<\/p>\n

Zero launched its new X-line of smaller electric motorcycles late last year<\/a>, ushering in a Sur Ron-style pair of bikes that cost a mere fraction of the company\u2019s larger street bikes.<\/p>\n

Designed for off-road use in the US or both on and off-road use in Europe, the Zero XB and XE<\/a> were designed to be as affordable to new riders as they are approachable. <\/p>\n

The XB was unveiled with a price tag of a mere US $4,195 or \u20ac4,500,\u00a0while the larger and more powerful XE carried a price tag of US $6,495 or \u20ac6,500.<\/p>\n

The pair were part of the motorcycle maker\u2019s plans to have six unique models all priced at under US $10,000 in the next two years. However, those plans may face increasing pressure after the Trump Administration imposed harsh new tariffs on imported goods to the US, forcing many manufacturers to increase prices.<\/p>\n

Zero\u2019s push for more affordable electric motorcycles is made possible mainly by its partnership with Chinese electric motorcycle manufacturers like Zongshen. While such companies have years of experience manufacturing motorcycles at more affordable prices, their relative cost advantage could take a serious hit under the US\u2019s aggressive stance towards foreign-produced goods.<\/p>\n
