Zero Motorcycles recently announced that its all-electric Zero S will be on display during this year’s WIRED Store in New York City from November 21 through December 27.

This is WIRED magazine’s fifth annual holiday store, which features all the latest cutting-edge products.

A Zero S will be featured in a special green section curated by Entourage star Adrian Grenier and Peter Glatzer of SHFT.COM.

The Zero S, which was developed to be aggressive in urban environments, integrates revolutionary technology with innovative motorcycle design. Instant acceleration and a lightweight design combine to form a power-to-weight ratio that increases the motorcycle’s range and handling abilities.

Those interested in going for a demo ride on a Zero S in New York can schedule it using Zero’s website at http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/locator/.

The WIRED Store is located at 415 West 13th Street between 9th Avenue and Washington Street in Manhattan’s Meatpacking/Highline District.
