Coimbatore based eMotion Motors, an electric
two-wheeler manufacturer recently revealed the renderings of the Surge, which is the first ever geared electric motorcycle. It's still unconfirmed whether the bike will go
into production or not, but we would love for it to see the light of the day
soon.
It has a 40 Ah lithium-ion battery pack which will
give it a range of 100 kilometres on a single charge. The company will also
offer a range extender battery pack, which will extend the range on the bike to
200 kilometres. The battery will have an express charging time of 30 minutes.
The company says that the bike will have a top speed
of 120 km/h and will do the 0-60 km/h sprint in less than 4 seconds. The Surge
makes 28 Nm of torque at the motor and an astounding 517 Nm at the wheel. The eMotion Surge was developed over a
period of seven years and has undergone 30,000 kilometres of rigorous testing.
Like many other electric two-wheelers, the eMotion
Surge too will support smartphone integration. The bike will also have a 7-inch
LED touchscreen instrument panel, which will show all sorts of information
needed by the rider.
Some of the features of the bike include
over-the-air updates, geo-fencing, navigation, cloud-connectivity and
anti-theft tech as well. The company will also offer a low-speed reverse gear
on the bike. Talking about gears, the bike will have a 4-speed manual
transmission as well, which should up the fun quotient when riding the bike.
There will also be customised riding modes along with a storage space which
will be big enough to swallow a normal sized helmet.
