Zero Posts “Record Sales” for 2014

Exact numbers were not disclosed, but electric-purveyor Zero Motorcycles today reported “record sales” for 2014 and said it’s “poised for dramatic growth in 2015.”

Zero Motorcycles CEO Richard Walker cited expansion into international markets as helping to boost sales. “From Indonesia to Israel to Thailand – and in our core markets of North America and Europe – riders are embracing the advantages of our 100 percent electric motorcycles,” Walker said in a press release.

The company also reported “significant gains” in fleet sales. Zero began the year with 10 police departments in the U.S. using their models and ended 2014 with nearly 50 agencies using them, including the Los Angeles Police Department and the Philadelphia Fire Department.

For 2015, Zero is offering four consumer models, three police models and one military spec version. They are being produced at an expanded and remodeled plant near Santa Cruz, CA.

“Our police and authority partners consistently praise Zero patrol motorcycles for their stealth, maneuverability,  and low maintenance, while the local communities they serve also appreciate the quietness and move to a more sustainable mode of transportation,” Walker said.

The lone Zero dealer in New England is Great Bay Motorcycles in North Hampton, NH.
