HERE’S WHAT INDIA’S FIRST INDIGENOUSLY DEVELOPED ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLE IS LIKE TO RIDE

TORK KRATOS R
Battery 4kWh

Motor 9kW Axial Flux

Range 180km*

Charge time 4-5hrs*

Price ₹1.23 lakh (ex-showroom, Pune, inclusive of all subsidies)

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.
