India’s roads are dominated by small-displacement scooters and motorcycles with practicality and affordability in mind. When electric motorcycles eventually take over, chances are this will remain the same, except that the internal combustion engines will have been replaced by compact electric motors. Indeed, we’re seeing this beginning to unfold with the popularity of electric models like the Ola S1 and Ather 450X.
From an enthusiast’s perspective, it’s always refreshing to see new models that focus on a sportier, performance-oriented riding experience. Such is the case with India’s Tork Motors, and its popular Kratos R electric motorcycle. While it is technically a low-power electric motorcycle (it has a power output similar to a 150cc motorbike), it does break the mold of a standard scooter, taking the form of a sporty naked motorcycle. That being said, Tork Motors is continuously working on improving its products, and has recently rolled out an update to the Kratos R.
