Tork Motors has launched two e-bikes — the Kratos and Kratos R — for the Indian market. The Kratos is priced at ₹ 1,92,499, while the R version retails for ₹ 2,07,499 (ex-showroom, Pune). FAME-II subsidies knock a significant ₹ 60,000 off these prices, bringing the effective ex-showroom prices down to ₹ 1,32,499 and ₹ 1,47,499.
Tork says it will roll out the bikes in a phased manner across India, with phase 1 cities comprising Pune, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Ahmedabad and Delhi. In phase 2, it will target 100 cities. In states where a state subsidy for EVs is applicable, there are further benefits on purchasing the bikes — in Pune, state subsidies bring effective ex-showroom prices down to ₹ 1,07,999 and ₹ 1,22,999, while in Delhi, the Kratos’ ex-showroom price is as low as ₹ 1,02,499.
The Kratos is powered by a 7.5kW, 28Nm motor, while the R gets a 9kW, 38Nm unit. This is good enough for a 0-40kph sprint in 4sec for the Kratos and 3.5sec for the R, and a top speed of 100kph and 105kph, respectively, as per Tork. Both bikes get three riding modes — Eco, City and Sports — as well as a reverse mode, and the motors are mid-mounted, sending drive to the rear wheel via a chain.
