Coimbatore-based start-up eMotion Motors is set to unveil on Tuesday the prototype of its first product, Surge, a geared electric motorcycle.
The launch has been planned to coincide with the World Environment Day.
Pranav Singanapalli, founder and Chief Executive of eMotion Motors, claimed that this would be the country’s first geared electric motorcycle. Currently, there are companies manufacture electric scooterettes with basic features, low power and low range, and questionable total cost of ownership. Their sole benefit is they are not polluting.
Surge, he said, would be a feature-rich motorcycle, with 40 innovations that would make it stand out from other bikes.
It will have two variants. The top variant would clock a top speed of 120 km/hour and rapid acceleration of 0-60 km/hour in less than four seconds. Surge will be able to run up to 100 km on a single charge, with rapid charging of the battery in just half an hour.
