Tork Kratos electric motorcycle launched in India priced from Rs 1.08 lakh – EQ Mag Pro
Tork Kratos electric bike price starts from Rs 1.08 lakh in Pune post Fame II and state subsidies. Tork Kratos price in Delhi starts from around Rs 1.02 lakh including subsidies.
- Two variants, Kratos and the more powerful Kratos R launched.
- Tork Kratos EV features a conventional motorcycle appearance, LED lighting and digital instrument panel with connected tech.
- With Fame II and state subsidies included, the Tork Kratos and Tork Kratos R are priced at Rs 1,07,999 and Rs 1,22,999 plus taxes respectively in Pune.
Tork Motors has launched two versions of its long-awaited electric bike – Tork Kratos and Tork Kratos R. Tork claims that all the designing and manufacturing has taken place in India. The Tork Kratos is priced at Rs 1.92 lakh while the Kratos R is priced at Rs 2.07 lakh (both prices ex-showroom, Pune). While the price tag may seem high, applying FAME II subsidies slashes Rs 60,000 and further state subsidies bring down the effective price to a very competitive Rs 1.08 Lakhs and Rs 1.23 lakh for Kratos and Kratos R, respectively in Pune.
“We are proud to showcase the fruit of our labour and learning, with the launch of India’s first electric motorcycle – Kratos and its variant Kratos R. As the name indicates, Kratos is the personification of strength and power. We believe our rigorously tested product will be a gamechanger in the mobility segment, that will not only benefit our customers in making an informed choice but also offer financial benefits such as saving money on fuel,” said Kapil Shelke, CEO and Founder of Tork Motors on the new launch.
Tork developed the bikes by the learnings of its racetrack campaigns, therefore the Kratos is made with high-strength steel used for the signature split trellis frame. The battery pack has been cleverly placed inside the frame to keep the balance high and the centre of gravity low. The style approach is sporty and reminiscent of many other petrol-powered motorcycles in the same price bracket. There are LED DRLs, engine cowl, hazard lighting, smartphone handle mount and guide me home lights. The Kratos is available only in White, while the Kratos R can be specced in three more colours like Red, Blue and Black.
Features are something that electric 2-wheelers are packed to the brim with, and the Tork Kratos is no exception. The bike gets a Digital instrument cluster, front storage box, reverse mode, battery indicator, multiple drive modes, crash alert, anti-theft systems and others. The bike is able to receive Over the air updates. In the Kratos R, additional features like geofencing, find my vehicle, track mode, track analytics, smart charge analytics and vacation mode are available.
Tork Kratos gets a 4kWh battery pack that powers the 7.5kW electric motor making 10bhp and 28Nm of torque. The performance figures for the Kratos are commendable, with a 0-40kmph sprint in 4 seconds and a top speed of 100kmph. Single charge range for the bike in ideal driving conditions is claimed at 180km, while real world range is claimed to be 120km. Charge time with a regular home charger is 4-5 hours.
Kratos R too gets a 4kWh battery pack, but a more powerful 9kW motor is used with 12bhp and 38Nm torque resulting in a quicker 0-40kmph sprint time of 3.5 seconds and a higher top speed of 105kmph. The charging tech is also an upgrade, with fast charge capable of 80 per cent juice in an hour and access to the charging network for 2 years. Range is the same as the Kratos.
Kratos will be sold in phases, starting with tier I cities like Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune and Ahmedabad and expanding further to 100 cities in the second phase. Tork Motors is set to deploy charging stations for popular routes. Competition includes the Revolt RV 400 and RV 300.Live TV
