This is the Tork Kratos R, one of the few electric motorcycles to have ever been launched in the country. Over the last six months, we’ve seen a flurry of electric two-wheelers being launched in India, but most of them are scooters. The Kratos R was launched in Jan 2022 this year along with a standard Kratos model. The bike we’re test riding today, the R which is the higher-specced version, is in its pre-production form. So it will undergo a couple of tweaks here and there, but right now we’re going to get a taste of what it brings to the scrimpy electric motorcycle segment.
