Quite lovely move from Zero, we might say, as there surely are a lot of electric riders who are longing for some branded gear and aftermarket parts to seamlessly suit their bikes.

However, Zero makes no difference when it comes to pricing their new products. We all know that branded, manufacturer-specific upgrades can be expensive at times, but in some cases, thing are out of hand.

Unfortunately, this is happening in the US market: if we discussed European pricing, maybe we could be more understanding with overseas shipping and import duties. But selling a Givi top case with room for one helmet and some handkerchiefs and its rack for $600 (€454) is really far out, even with European prices in mind.

Similar or higher-quality full case systems and racks, such as Krauser or Hepco & Becker are twice the price, and offer triple the storage, all with heavy touring-worthy building. As for the top case world, a top-drawer Zega Pro for the 2013 BMW R1200GS is $735 (€556) and we're talking PRO-grade for the Touratech!

There are other things in the new accessory and apparel line from Zero which are a bit over the top, too. While each manufacturer sets the prices they see fit, we're really waiting for top-notch aftermarket names to start making their own parts, really.
