Kabira Mobility KM 3000 vs Aprilia SXR 160 Comparison

The Kabira KM 3000 is an electric motorcycle, from Kabira Mobility, a Goa-based EV startup. The motorcycle has a claimed range of 120 km and has a top speed of 100 kmph. It gets a bunch of connectivity features as well. The battery can be charged fully in five hours. At a price of Rs. 174,090 (ex-showroom), with a FAME-II subsidy of Rs. 40,000, the motorcycle is an expensive proposition, but does offer features and performance to go with it.

The Aprilia SXR 160 brings the aspirational maxi-styling in a relatively achievable package to the masses. It offers a European style to the buyers which is paired to a punchy engine with enough performance to keep you content. It has good road presence and loads of pracality owing to a lot of storage spaces. But the pinch point is that Aprilia doesn’t have a wide dealership and after sales support network in India which might prove to be an issue for a lot of customers, especially those that don’t reside in urban areas.
