Indian Motorcycle Company has teamed up with an electric bike manufacturer to make this Indian-themed e-bike, as part of their electrification plans.
This is the second time that Indian Motorcycle has associated the FTR badge with an electric two-wheeler. The first time it did so, was in collaboration with Razor. Back then, the eFTR turned out to be a kids electric dirt bike. But the iconic and oldest motorcycling company has gone ahead and revived the badge again with Super73 this time with the eFTR Hooligan 1.2, which big enough for adults to ride.
Going by its initial images, the eFTR Hooligan 1.2 is largely based on the Super73s well-known S2 electric bike. However, Indian Motorcycles has done some considerable work on this bike. The Super73 bones are still there, however, modifications in the form of inverted front forks, mid-height, moto-style handlebars, and a unique LED headlight with FTR-inspired wind deflectors, and more aggressive tires.

The 960Wh battery is on the downtube, and it loses out on those rear fenders. Despite, visibly resembling the S2, this is without a doubt an Indian Motorcycle product. As for its performance specs, the Hooligan 1.2 is powered by an electric motor that can put out 2,000 watts of power. It rides on 20 fat bike wheels tires and can do a top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) with full throttle. Theres also a pedal-assist system that allows you to do 28 mph (45 km/h) of top speed. This makes it legal in the United States to operate without a license.
Unfortunately, the Indian Motorcycle+Super73 eFTR Hooligan 1.2 is not available in India. Would you want this to launch in India as well? If so, how much do you think it will be priced? Our guess is around Rs. 7-8 lakhs.
