The electric motorbike is styled after a cafe racer and has a 100 km range. The early bird pricing for the first 1,000 customers is kept at Rs 99,999.

On a full charge, the battery can take the scooter up to 100 km. The design of the electric motorcycle consists of a tubular chassis fitted with LED lighting on indicators and LED tail light.
