SANTA CRUZ, Calif., July 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --Zero Motorcycles, the global leader in the electric motorcycle industry, today announced that the global leader in guided motorcycle tours, Edelweiss Bike Travel in Austria, now offers zero-emission Alpine tours on Zero's high-performance electric motorcycles.

Edelweiss Bike Travel has purchased a fleet of six Zero Motorcycles: four Zero S ZF11.4 and two Zero DS ZF11.4 are available for the tours. All motorcycles are equipped with the additional 2.8 kilowatt-hour Power Tank for maximum range, bringing the total battery capacity to 14.2 kWh per bike, making daily routes of 125 miles (200 km) possible, even in the Alps.
