We are confident that like our previous vehicles, these technologically advanced electric two-wheelers will also find a sizeable market, and generate measurable interest & demand across all prominent regions”.
"E-vehicles are clearly the favoured mode of transport in the near future since there is a pressing need to bring down the emission of harmful gases that are hurting the world climate and causing wide spread disruption in weather patterns. It is important that people are made aware about the advantages of e-vehicles over traditional means of transport and encouraged to make a switch so that we make our planet healthy once again for future generations.” he further stated.
These Li-Ion battery operated two-wheelers can reach the top speed of 25kmph and will be available in four colour options.
