IIT Hyderabad hatched EV startup, Pure EV is going to launch its first-ever electric motorcycle, ETRYST 350. The all new e-motorcycle is scheduled to hit the roads on Independence Day (Aug 15) at a price that would be “economical in comparison with conventional motorcycles with similar pickup and power”.

Around 50 demo vehicles are to be deployed by March-end across the country, would be available for test drives at specific outlets. E-motorcycle would be launched first in Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Pune, following more outlets by the year-end.

Speaking on their achievement, the Co-founder and CEO, Rohit Vadera stated, “With ETRYST 350, we want to make a mark in the domestic EV industry with competitive pricing point in comparison with premium motorcycles.”

“We are also upgrading our after-sales service network and to enhance our service capabilities with the invention of devices like ‘Batrics Faraday’ providing remote battery service capability and comprehensive technicians training programs,” Rohit added.

The e-motorcycle, ETRYST 350, gives a top speed of 85 Kmph with most Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) motorbikes. A single full charge will provide a range of 120 km, till the battery has to be charged again. The vehicle comes with a 3.5 kWh Li-ion battery with a five-year warranty, that is developed by the company itself.
