This e-bike is going to be launched after the second quarter of 2019 and will be the fastest and most powerful e-bike in India. The first prototype was built in June 2016 and there have been several updates to it, moreover, it has been tested over 10,000 km. The bike will be offered at a price point equivalent to 200-250cc bikes so as to increase the accessibility of this green electric technology.

The start-up is in the process of filing nine utility patents which are based on the bike’s technology and engineering.

TVS Motors has already invested Rs. 11 crore and has a 25.76 percent of start-up’s stake. The company will be setting up a plant in early 2019 where it can produce 10,000 vehicles. The e-bikes will be firstly sold in Bengaluru and then following to other metros. But before the launch, the firm is going to set-up a network of charging point within the city.

The bike when launched will take on the e-scooters of Ather Energy who are being supported by Hero MotoCorp Ltd.
