Odysse Electric VADER

Odysse has launched the Vader, its second electric bike. More about it in our launch story here. For a visual reckoner of the Odysse Vader, check out our visual story.

The Odysse Vader is priced at Rs 1,09,999 in Ahmedabad, Rs 1,11,999 in Mumbai and Rs 1,29,999 in Delhi, all prices ex-showroom, including FAME II and state subsidies.

The Vader packs a hub-mounted motor with 3kW nominal and 4.5kW peak output, four riding modes (including a reverse mode) and a claimed top speed of 85kmph. Its 3.7kWh Lithium-battery pack, meanwhile, can be charged in about four hours. Odysse claims a 125km range in Eco mode, 105km range in Drive mode and 90km range in Sport mode. 

The bike rolls on 17-inch wheels with a 240mm front disc and 220mm one at the rear, and CBS as standard. In terms of convenience, it gets 18 litres of storage in its faux fuel tank. Tipping the scales at 128kg, it’s a whole 20kg more than the Revolt RV400. Its smartphone-compatible 7-inch LCD console, along with the usual information such as speed, riding modes and range readings, also shows readouts for the battery temperature, music selection, call and message alerts, and google maps-based navigation.

The Odysse Vader goes up against the Revolt RV400 and standard variant of the Tork Kratos.
