Zero Motorcycles is rumoured to be looking for enough funding to undergo expansion ... which will include a road bike. The new Zero S on-road electric motorcycle that the company is currently rolling out will come complete with everything needed to register it on the street, including lights and indicators, and is expected to be available this summer.

According to Zero Motorcycles the battery unit used on the new bike contains 168 individual lithium ion cells and is expected to endure six years of hard riding.
