Evtric Rise motorcycle is an EV

The Evtric Rise is a premium electric motorcycle that relies on a 2kW BLDC motor driving the rear wheel. The motorcycle relies on a 70v/40ah battery that is capable of offering a maximum range of 110Km on a single charge. The vehicle can go up to a top speed of 70 Kph, which is not a lot. In fact, this is a much lower top speed than the Ola S1 Pro, which can go above speeds of 100 kph easily.

The battery takes about 4 hours to recharge via a 10A charger and Evtric has introduced an auto-cut feature to allow the bike to charge safely. The EV gets a sporty design with LED front light and even gets DRLs, which is a safety feature.

In comparison, the Revolt RV400 starts at Rs. 98,485 for the base variant and offers a range of up to 150 Kms, with a top speed rated at 85 kph.
