Zero Motorcycles’ 271-Mile Range Record

PR Campaign
Tuesday 13th October, 2026

Zero Motorcycles sent a DS electric motorcycle from the French Alps towards the Mediterranean on a single charge, covering 271.2 miles and setting a Guinness World Record. The brand turned a practical question about electric-bike range into a clear, verifiable challenge, with GPS tracking and a sealed charging port adding credibility.

Why it worked: They turned a fuzzy range claim into a Guinness-certified, GPS-verified endurance feat with a clear rival-beating number and simple rules.

The lesson: Consider creating a measurable, third‑party‑verified challenge that turns a common customer doubt into a single, headline‑ready number.

Where does the data come from?

Finchling is a news monitoring tool that analyses lots of news from across the internet.

Does this track sponsored posts, or is it earned media only?

It's built to only track earned media - we use AI to filter out anything that we think is a sponsored placement.

What does "ranked by coverage" mean?

It's ranked by the volume of coverage that talks positively about the campaign. We count the outlets covering it, then give a boost to campaigns whose coverage is positive, and those with negative coverage drop down. We're not weighting by outlet size or reach.
