• Lightning-fast acceleration with no gears or clutch

• Up to 227 miles of range on a single charge (model dependent)

• Minimal maintenance — no oil changes, spark plugs, or filters

• A connected riding experience with smartphone integration

We offer both new and certified pre-owned Zero Motorcycles, including the popular Zero SR/F, DSR/X adventure bike, and the city-smart FXE. Whether you're commuting in San Jose, carving through the Santa Cruz Mountains, or planning a cross-state adventure, we have a Zero model to match your style.

Come visit us to test ride, explore the latest models, and talk to our electric motorcycle experts. Our Bay Area team is here to support your shift to the electric frontier — because the future of motorcycling doesn’t roar, it flies.

Super Excited that Kali Protetives is back at Santa Clara Cycle with the Safest Helmets on the Market!

Northern CA's own Kali Protectives is back in the motorcycle market and back at Santa Clara Cycle!! We are super excited to be partnered up with this great Morgan Hill based manufacture with their new helmet line! 

Unlike anything else on the market, these helmets have safety features that go above and beyond others making them the safest, lightest weight, most compact and technology packed lid that $ can buy! 

Owner , founder and super nice guy Brad Waldron said it best " Kali is about safety, technology and family. Our promise to you is we will continue to
develop the safest helmets in the world, so you can continue to enjoy life as it was
intended to be lived, surrounded by friends, family and great rides."

The Catalyst 2.0 and Octane helmets are both made from super lightweight carbon fiber, have multi density conehead EPS foam ( reduces impact to riders upon impact ) and utilize a bonded outer shell to the inner EPS liner. This bonded shell process makes the helmet stronger, safer, more compact and slim. In short, the helmets Kali Protectives produces are some of the most advanced in the safety department.
