Company profile
researched Aug 2026Zeno is an electric mobility company that designs sport utility electric motorcycles together with the batteries and energy services that power them. Its flagship product, the Emara, is specified at 8 kW peak power, up to 100 km of real-world range, a 90 km/h top speed, 250 kg load carrying capacity, 30-degree maximum gradeability, 190 mm ground clearance, dual disc brakes, four ride modes including a tractor mode, a 6.3-inch display and a Class D LED headlight. The bike is offered with a long bench seat and a set of add-on accessories, including 5 litres of front storage, 5 litres of under-seat storage, a flexible rear mounting plate supporting 100 litres of lockable rear storage, a rear crash guard, side guards with mounting points and knee guards with storage space, for up to 150 litres of secure lockable storage. Custom vinyl wraps are also offered.
A second variant, the Emara ADV, adds extra battery capacity with the ability to carry two additional batteries on the bike, 10 kW peak power, a 100 km/h top speed and 19-inch front wheels for higher ground clearance. Zeno also operates energy infrastructure around the vehicles, supporting multi-modal charging via battery swapping, fast charging at its own chargers, and home charging, alongside a companion Zeno mobile app.
Business model
Zeno sells motorcycles and packages the battery and energy layer separately under three commercial options: full ownership, in which the customer buys the bike and batteries outright and charges at home or at Zeno fast chargers; a subscription, in which the bike is bought without batteries and battery use plus charging access are paid for monthly; and pay-as-you-go, in which the bike is bought without batteries and the customer pays only for the energy consumed. All three options give access to swapping, fast charging and home charging.
Revenue comes from vehicle sales, with battery and energy access monetised either through upfront battery purchase, recurring monthly battery subscriptions, or usage-based payment for energy consumed.
