On August 17, Indonesia's 81st Independence Day, 30 Zero SR/S electric motorcycles from a military police unit escorted the procession from Monas to the State Palace. The SR/S puts out 111 hp and 190 Nm of instant torque, and it previously served VVIP escort duty at the 2022 G20 Bali summit.

A column of electric bikes gliding silently toward the State Palace looks like a scene out of science fiction. A ceremonial procession with no engine roar breaks from the 'heavy rumble' aesthetic that military parades have built for decades. Zero's quiet march is shaping a new visual language for state ceremony — and I love discovering that, even as someone who fell for motorcycles before I understood them.

Had no idea an electric bike could even be a ceremonial escort vehicle. TIL.

Used at G20 and the ASEAN Summit too, apparently — that's more than enough track record already.

190 Nm instantly is an insane spec on paper, but does it even matter at ceremonial parade speed?

It does matter — response speed in an emergency situation would be way faster.

Silent motorcycles in a ceremonial procession feels so futuristic. Loud gas engine parades might be a thing of the past.

Being that quiet actually kills the intimidation factor though — isn't that low rumble kind of the point of an honor guard?
