Made in India EV superbike with 221 km range and top speed of 135 kph launched
Orxa Energies, a Bengaluru based electric vehicle (EV) maker, has announced the launch of a high-end electric bike, the Mantis.
The Mantis, currently the lightest in its category with a kerb weight of 182 kg, is offered in two distinct color variants: Urban Black and Jungle Grey.
Priced at Rs 3.6 lakh ex-showroom, Bengaluru, the bike features a 1.3 kW charger and is now available for bookings.
With a top speed of 135 kmph and an impressive acceleration from 0 to 100 kmph in just 8.9 seconds, the Mantis is designed for optimal performance. Notably, the acceleration from 0-20 kmph has been fine-tuned to 2.7 seconds, catering to city and urban traffic conditions.
The motorcycle is equipped with an 8.9 kWh battery pack, providing an impressive range of 221 km.
The technology and features integrated into the Mantis have been derived from Orxa Energies' extensive work in the defence and aerospace sectors, according to a company official.
Prajwal Sabnis, co-founder of Orxa Energies, remarked, «Our journey began in 2015, and we translated our vision into the first prototype of what would ultimately become the Mantis. Over the last eight years, we have worked extensively to fine-tune the design and engineering of the bike, all of which was tested and subsequently validated by riding it for thousands of kilometers on highways, city roads, and gravel tracks across the country.»
«As avid EV enthusiasts and bikers ourselves, we're committed to fostering an ecosystem that empowers both our partners and our customers.
