2026 Zero Motorcycles Lompico Concept — First Look
A glimpse into Zero's future
Zero Motorcycles used the 2025 EICMA show to introduce two new projects: the LS1 scooter and this, the Lompico Concept. Both models reflect Zero's efforts to reach a wider audience, from urban commuters to tech-focused riders looking toward the next generation of electric mobility. Both of these models are also part of Zero's "All-Access" initiative of having a line of models all under $10,000USD.
What Is The Lompico Concept?
While the LS1 focuses on accessibility, the Lompico Concept represents the opposite end of Zero’s development spectrum. The Lompico is aiming for the 400cc-equivalent ICE market, as evidenced by its 8.8kWh battery and approximately 30kW (40 hp) of peak power. Zero says its fast-charging capabilities will allow it to reach 80% in under an hour and its chassis is designed for agile handling, with premium suspension and "advanced traction management." Judging by its appearance, we think the Lompico has gas bikes like the Kawasaki Z500, Aprilia Tuono 457, Yamaha MT-03, and others in this category in its sights.
From a software standpoint, Lompico serves as a testbed for new design language and introduces Cypher 4, Zero's next-generation operating system.
Zero says Cypher 4 will deliver "enhanced connectivity, adaptive performance settings, predictive diagnostics, and expanded security features." The system will integrate with both an onboard display and a mobile app, allowing riders to monitor and adjust ride modes remotely. More details about the Cyper 4 operating system will come later in 2026.
The Lompico Concept’s styling signals where Zero might be heading with its next generation of bikes — sleeker, more integrated, and designed around the compactness of an electric powertrain. What, exactly, these next bikes are remain to be seen.

I could see some people liking the scooter for local city rides, but I like to be able to hop on my bike and drive all day and not spend half the day charging. It would have taken me months to drive to the 4 corners of the country on EV bike last year.
Electric mobility has its place for commuting. I ride a 2020 Zero FXS electric supermoto to commute to work and it's perfect for that. It's about 20 miles each way and a mix of urban and freeway traffic. As a bonus I get to charge at work for free. But for fun, I agree, an ICE bike is superior.
