Eko Tejas, an electric vehicle manufacturer based in India, unveiled the 'E-Dyroth,' the first electric muscle motorbike manufactured in the country. This e-motorbike is equipped with a 4 kW mid-drive motor that results in a top speed of 100 kmph.
The E-Dyroth is powered by a 72 V/60 Ah battery pack that results in a quoted range of 150 km per charge. However, customers are able to order a secondary swappable battery pack, bringing the range to upwards of 300 km on a single charge, which is more than enough for most use cases.
In addition to being an electric muscle motorbike, the E-Dyroth boasts smart features such as mobile app connectivity, a smart heads-up display, and various driving modes catered to the conditions on India's roads. Additionally, Eko Tjeas offers a dedicated charging station with its bike, which the company can install in customers' driveways and parking spaces.
