Zero DSR motorcycle smashes electric range record by 40%

Belgian rider Jelle Verstaen rode a stock Zero DS 271.23 miles (436.5 km) from the French-Italian Alps to the Mediterranean on a single charge, beating Verge Motorcycles' 93.05-mile record by 40% and taking the Guinness World Record. Two support bikes, an SR/S ridden by Louis Renaud (217 miles) and a DSR/X ridden by Zero's Jenny Brookes (239 miles), also beat the old mark. A factory Power Tank lifted the DS's battery to 19.2 kWh. The DS is not sold in the US.
