Indian startup Tork Motors has released the Kratos electric motorcycle in India and it is priced from Rs. 1.08 Lakh ($1,442) which is a bit more affordable than some of the current bikes with similar configurations. The new e-bike packs several impressive features including having a range of 120km on a single charge and a new battery technology.
The Tork Kratos electric motorcycle can deliver a top speed of 100km/h while the Kratos R which is also launched, will deliver a top speed of 105km/h. Both the Kratos and Kratos R will begin deliveries from April 2022, while preorders have begun for Rs. 999. It is noted that the more powerful Tork Kratos R electric motorcycle is priced at Rs. 1.23 Lakh ($1,642). Both model prices are ex-showroom and they will both enjoy some degree of subsidies from the state and FAME II.
The Tork Kratos electric motorcycle had evolved within the past six years when the concept design was showcased in 2016. The new models are a clear departure from the T6X prototype that was showcased by the company, with several modifications and improvements done. These include a new design language, the battery pack, and a newly designed electric motor for the e-bike. The Tork Kratos lineup is wholly designed and manufactured in India thus aligning with the Make in India initiative.
While the Tork Kratos has a 4kW motor, the Kratos R comes with a 9kW motor. In addition, the Kratos R supports fast charging and its owners will be offered a two-year free charging network access. There are loads of features present in both models and Tork Motors says it will undertake a phased sales strategy of both models in the Indian market.
