Sure that doesn't sound like much but Zero is also offering a range extender as an option, which then boosts the riding range to 328 kilometres in the city and 160 kilometres on the highway. The range extender is priced at 3,000 pound or Rs. 2.76 lakh. The bike can charged to offer a range of 150 kilometres for every hour it is put on charge. Plus there is this optional extra charge tank, which allows the customer to hook the bike up to level two plug points, thus ensuring even quicker charge. The charge tank is priced at 2,300 pounds or Rs. 2.12 lakh.

In true adventure motorcycle fashion, the Zero DSR Black Forest will get luggage panniers as standard along with handlebar protectors, auxiliary LED lights and a touring windscreen as well. Deliveries of the bike will begin in April 2018.
