A COLCHESTER dealership is to be the only one in Essex to sell a new electric motorcycle.

Parkinson Motorcycles, in Cowdray Avenue, has been chosen by US firm Zero Motorcycles to stock its 2013 electrical bike.

The bikes can be fully charged within an hour and travel at more than 95mph, at a cost of 1p per mile.

“Parkinson's is a well-respected motorcycle dealer in Essex and we are looking forward to building a longstanding relationship with them,” said Dan Lynch, country manager for Zero Motorcycles UK.
