Review
Part of Zero Motorcycles' 'All-Access' initiative, the LS1 brings two decades of electric powertrain expertise to the scooter market. Aimed at urban professionals, it features two 1.86 kWh removable batteries housed in the floorboard for a low center of gravity. In its standard configuration, it offers a range of 71 miles (115 km), which can be extended to 106 miles (170 km) with an optional third battery stored under the seat. The mid-mounted motor produces 8.4 kW (11.3 hp) and a massive 240 Nm of torque at the wheel, delivered via a quiet, maintenance-free carbon-reinforced belt drive. Standard safety features include ABS and Traction Control (TCS). Weighing just 132 kg with a low 30.7-inch (780 mm) seat height, the LS1 is engineered for agility and ease of use in dense city traffic. It features a 5-inch high-contrast TFT color display and full mobile app connectivity. Charging from 0 to 90% takes 4.5 hours with the standard 800W charger, while the optional 1500W fast charger reduces this to approximately 2.6 hours.
