India’s 2023 Auto Expo wrapped up on January, 18, 2023. The trade show concluded on a high note, though, when Jodhpur-based EV startup Devot Motors unveiled its first electric motorcycle prototype. The production-ready concept may turn heads with its neo-retro bodywork but the firm doesn’t forget about the model’s practicality in the process.
Devot Motors employs a 9.5 kW (12.7-horsepower) motor to power the electric runabout. That pokey powerplant results in a 120-km/h (75-mph) top speed. Yet, Devot claims the e-roadster can reach up to 200 kilometers (124 miles) on a single charge. The brand’s Smart Battery Management System and the Lithium LFP power pack’s thermal control aid that longevity, but Devot reassures customers that charging intervals aren’t too punishing either.
