Bangalore based company Eko Vehicles launched its two new two-wheelers in India. The first one - Strike is the electric scooter with no frills and at a price tag of INR 22,000 only. It does not require any registration/tax. The buyers can even give the battery capacity as per their requirements for an added cost.
The other launch is ET-120 bike. It is the first hybrid two-wheeler of India, which operates on a combination of electric motor as well as 70 cc petrol engine.Both the two-wheelers have been manufactured in partnership with UK and US based companies.
We developed a hybrid technology which will allow the electric motor together with the gasoline motor or petrol motor to be in combination. So, they should get unlimited range. So, when you drive in gasoline, you are charging the motor.
- Mr. Alan Rubeinsten (US Collaborator) said.
Their calculation is that half a tonne of carbon emission is reduced as compared to a gasoline power vehicle when you use a electric vehicle.
- MR. Anil Ananthkrishnan (Chairman & CEO, Eko Vehicles) said.
