Would love to give it a spin…

Zero Motorcycles and Deus Ex Machina have unveiled their latest collab, teaming up for an all-electric Zero Motorcycles SR/S model. The bike (which is the first electric motorbike Deus has ever worked on) features a carbon colour scheme with clear-coated panels, with an electronic screen for a dashboard. The bike also includes a custom thumb brake from Spain which is just totally badass.

Speaking on the collaboration, world-renowned custom fabricator Michael “Woolie” Woolaway said “The Zero bike build is the first electric motorcycle I’ve ever been involved with on any level — and I have always been intrigued… That bike is the perfect platform to build something with because there’s no gas tank really. And there’s this trellis frame that’s beautiful and everything else comes off and there’s nothing there. So in my mind quietly, I was thinking, ‘I’d love to do something with that bike because it’s a blank sheet of paper.’”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever been able to just sit down and organically shape something,” Woolaway said. “You’re thinking about function and seating position and weight distribution, distance to the pegs… I’ve never been able to just organically create a shape for a motorcycle like this ever. And it was a great experience and I hope everybody likes it.”

It’s pretty dope, check some pics of the new bike below.
