Avore Electric EX debuts at Rs 1.25 lakh

Avore, an Indian startup, has launched its first electric motorcycle. The EX Series is priced from ₹1,24,999 ex-showroom and aims to replicate the feel of a petrol-powered bike.

Three models, one platform

The lineup consists of three variants: EX 1, EX 2, and EX 2S. All share the same electric platform developed over three years but vary in battery capacity, range, and features.

The base EX 1 offers a claimed 160 km range and a top speed of 100 km/h. The EX 2 increases range to 255 km with a 5 kWh battery. The top-spec EX 2S extends range slightly, boosts top speed to 114 km/h, and includes additional features.

A single motor powers all models, delivering up to 10.5 kW and 250 Nm of wheel torque. The motor is integrated with the swingarm, a design choice Avore says improves handling.

Charging and tech

The EX 2 and EX 2S include a 1,500W onboard fast charger compatible with standard household sockets. A 20% to 80% charge takes about two hours, while a full charge requires four.

All variants feature a digital display—either a 7-inch TFT or a basic digital unit—along with smartphone connectivity, GPS, and multiple riding modes. The EX 2S adds AI-powered functions and six riding modes, including a simulated manual gear mode and park assist. Guide-me-home lights and smart connectivity are standard on higher trims.

The design adopts a conventional street-motorcycle aesthetic, with a muscular tank, sharp LED lighting, and sporty bodywork. The EX 2 and EX 2S come in dual-tone colors, while the EX 1 is available in three single-tone shades.

Warranty and testing

Avore offers a 5-year battery warranty for the EX Series. The company states the motorcycle underwent over 1 lakh kilometers of testing before launch.

The EX Series competes with the Revolt RV400, Oben Rorr EZ, and Tork Kratos R at ₹1.25 lakh. Unlike most new EV brands in India, Avore skipped scooters entirely, focusing on motorcycles instead.

Most startups prioritize scooters due to simpler engineering and broader urban appeal. Motorcycles, however, attract riders who prefer performance, handling, and a traditional riding posture. If the EX Series meets its range and stability promises, it could appeal to commuters seeking an electric bike that mimics petrol models.

Deliveries will begin in the coming weeks, though no specific timeline or dealer network details have been announced.

This approach mirrors trends in other markets, where electric two-wheelers are evolving beyond basic urban mobility.
