The Veloc-E dual-sport motorbike prototype has been unveiled by Bengaluru-based startup Barrel Motors. The prototype electric motorbike features an aggressive look and can be used to go on mud, snow, sand, and slush. It is scheduled to go into production in 2024. In its final form, it will have an electric drivetrain and have a range of about 150 kilometers on a single charge.
According to the firm, the Veloc-E will be offered in two variations and constructed with "state-of-the-art components," 90 percent of which will be manufactured locally. Veloc-E's prototype model resembles conventional dual-sport and enduro style with its faux fuel tank construction with extensions, presumably used to house the battery or controller, single-piece seat, high fender, tall handlebars, and inverted front forks. The bike rolls on wire-spoke wheels with dual-sport tires, although it hasn't been verified whether the bike would run on a 21-inch or 19-inch front wheel.
