Zero Motorcycles UK has announced a significant increase in UK registrations during the first eight months of the year, as it continues to carry strong momentum into the second half of 2026.
Zero recorded a year-on-year registration increase of 330% to 142 in the period of January to August 2026.
The standout contributor to the increase has been the arrival of the LS1. Designed to provide accessible and practical urban transport, the LS1 has broadened Zero’s range and introduced the brand to new riders and fleet customers. In August, the Zero LS1 became the UK’s best-selling electric motorcycle in the <11 kW category.
Zero’s performance is particularly notable against the wider UK electric two-wheeler market, where registrations declined by 10.3% year-on-year during the first eight months of 2026.*
Dale Robinson, Country Manager of Zero Motorcycles, said: “To see our registrations more than quadruple in a year, with the LS1 becoming the UK’s best-selling electric motorcycle in its category during August is a fantastic result for Zero.
