Chinese electric motorcycle,
Super Soco TC made a spy image debut on Indian shores this week. The
retro-style electric two-wheeler was seen in Noida. In case you are unaware, the
recently unveiled Revolt Intellicorp RV 400 is based on the Super Soco TS
electric motorcycle. Both motorcycles look nearly identical, although Revolt
Intellicorp has made some changes to the styling that makes the Indian-spec
model more appealing. The sighting of the Super Soco TC hints that Revolt
Intellicorp may introduce another electric model in the Indian market with
retro styling. Regular readers would remember that Revolt Intellicorp
reportedly has three products in the pipeline.
The Super Soco TC features a
round headlight with a brushed silver finish to the mask. The interior of the
headlamp, however, is similar to the unit on the Super Soco TS. LED headlight
and blinkers enhance the premium looks of the motorcycle. The cockpit on the TC badge has a
semi-digital instrument console that comprises an analogue speedometer, while
the rest of the ride related information is available on the digital display.
The instrument console is surrounded by a similar material that also makes the
headlight mask.
The handlebar gets a black finish
while the grips receive a brown leather colour. The leather finish, along with
the round shape of the rearview mirrors, enhances the retro look of the
motorcycle. The battery storage compartment, tank shrouds and fairing design
are similar to the TS model, although the TC variant comes with different
colours and stripe design. The ribbed pattern on the saddle is complemented by
the leather finish to achieve retro styling. The rear section of the Super
Soco TC is entirely different from the TS model. The retro-style motorcycle
features a different pillion grab rail and comes equipped with a rear fender
mounted number plate, tail light and blinkers.
If at all Revolt Intellicorp
plans to introduce such as model, we expect it to receive the same motor as the
RV 400 that boasts a top speed of 85 km/h and an ARAI certified range of 156
km. The braking department includes disc brakes (240 mm front and 180 mm rear)
on both wheels. However, the discs on the Super Soco TC model do not feature a
ventilated pattern. The disc design is proper retro, although the lack of
ventilation pattern may affect their performance. Revolt Intellicorp may
replace the disc brakes with ventilated units on the RV 400.
If launched, the retro-style
model will benefit from Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app to access
various features such as Geo Fencing, artificial exhaust sounds and battery
monitoring functions, among others.
