Electric motorcycles may be slotted as the new black for our future two-wheeled industry, but the spike in charging rates haven’t been popular at all… and neither has the lack of federal electric vehicle tax incentives for US bikes.
Zero agrees; in fact, Zero Motorcycles has even gone so far as to offer incentives to the eco-conscious rider as a gesture of thanks for choosing zero-emission scoots.
According to the recent press release from Zero Motorcycles on BusinessWire, the program to get hooked into is called the “Go Electric Incentive” a limited-time offer that provides up to $4,250 USD of a 2022 showroom model.
“Despite the current absence of federal tax incentives, Zero is making it easier than ever to switch to electric with an instant incentive on our latest showroom models,” enthuses Bill Stone, Zero Motorcycles National Sales Director.
“Zero is dedicated to encouraging more EV adoption, and our program offers another opportunity to join the movement at a great price.”
