With its all-new DSR/X model, Zero’s impressive entry into the Adventure Bike category represents an increasingly important opportunity for adventure riders to explore the backcountry with minimal impact while taking advantage of the unmatched power delivery and reliability inherent in EV (Electric Vehicle) technology.
Adding to its vast resources of off-pavement route planning, BDR has enhanced its website’s interactive maps to now display EV charging stations within a 25-mile radius of all BDR routes. This new feature will make EV ADV ride planning easier and give riders confidence in their ability to explore some of the best backcountry roads on an electric motorcycle.
As technology for charging and range improves at lightning speed, so do opportunities for OEM’s, advocacy organizations, public land managers, and government agencies to work together for the broader benefit of the outdoor community. Always at the forefront of expanding outdoor access, BDR’s partnership with Zero is a precedent-setting effort and one that both organizations’ leadership hope will have a sustainable and positive impact on outdoor recreation and local communities alike.
