A2 Licence
Intermediate licence
A2 is an intermediate licence which allows holders to ride motorcycles with a continuous power output of between 20 and 35kW. The Zero SR, Zero DSR and Zero FX represent a collection of models ideal for individuals with some riding experience who have not yet obtained their full A licence.
Upgradability
After two years of riding with an A2 licence, or at the age of 24, riders can take a further test to upgrade to a full ‘A’ licence. Upon obtaining the A licence, SR and DSR riders are able to de-restrict their motorcycle – unlocking the full performance of the Z-Force 75-10 permanent magnet AC motor without the need to purchase a new motorcycle.

LICENCING REQUIREMENTS FOR ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES
Electric motorcycles offer a unique riding experience as compared to their internal combustion counterparts, in part, due to the power delivery. With an electric motorcycle you get instant torque and power from 0 rpm. The power delivery also tends to be smoother throughout the rpm band.
There are different licencing criteria for electric motorcycles in the EU. The main difference is that, unlike internal combustion engine (ICE, or petrol engine) motorcycles which are rated on max power, electric motorcycles are rated and homologated on continuous power.
MAXIMUM V. NET V. CONTINUOUS POWER
- Maximum power (or peak power) is defined as the absolute maximum power that a drivetrain can produce. Electric vehicles are rated on this in regions following SAE standards.
- Net power is defined as the amount of power the motor is capable of sustaining following a three-minute run at 80% of maximum power, according to UNECE Regulation No 85. Electric vehicles are rated on this in regions following EU standards.
- Continuous power is defined as the amount of power the motor is capable of sustaining continuously for 30 minutes, according to UNECE regulation No 85. Electric vehicles are rated on this in regions following EU standards.
