The Zero S is an electric motorcycle made by Zero Motorcycles.

On 23 April 2009 the company announced it would establish a distribution network in the Canadian market while getting regulatory approval for selling the motorcycle in Canada. It expected to start selling in Canada by early July 2009.

The 2009 Zero S had a claimed expected range of 81 km (50 mi) on a full charge, and an advertised top speed of 112 km/h (70 mph), Zero claims the motor is rated at 22 kW (30 hp). The battery can be recharged using standard 120 V or 240 V plugs.
