Zero Motorcycles is giving U.S. dealers and customers the chance to save if they order 2026 Zero XB or XE electric motorcycles by May 18. Zero will raise the prices on both models on May 19, with the new pricing structure for U.S. deliveries to be announced later.
Global economics behind price hikes
According to Zero, the price changes are due to new “tariffs and recent changes in the global economic landscape.”
The original prices for Zero’s entry-level electric bikes were $4,195 for the XB and $6,495 for the XE. Customers who have already reserved one of those bikes and anyone who places a new reservation by May 18, 2025, will still pay the original price.
Avoid price hikes by acting now
Customers who reserve a Zero XB or XE after May 18, 2025, will pay the new, as-yet-not-determined price. The message is clear: avoid the price hikes by acting now.
Zero also announced the delivery schedules of the XB and XE motorcycles. Deliveries for all reservations before May 1, 2025, will start in the Summer of 2025. Zero estimates that reservations for the XB and XE made on or after May 1, 2025, will be delivered in the Fall 2025.
For international customers, Zero stated that buyers in Canada, Europe, and the rest of the world, except for the United States, will not have price increases. The reasoning behind holding prices in the rest of the world is that other countries will not be affected as much as the United States by global trade relationships and related tariffs.
