The company says that the bike will have a top speed of 120 kmph and will do the 0-60 kmph sprint in less than 4 seconds.

The eMotion Surge was developed over a period of seven years and has undergone 30,000 kilometres of rigorous testing.

Connectivity

Like many other electric two-wheelers, the eMotion Surge too will support smartphone integration. The bike will also have a 7-inch LED touchscreen instrument panel, which will show all sorts of information needed by the rider.

Features

Some of the features of the bike include over-the-air updates, geo-fencing, navigation, cloud-connectivity and anti-theft tech as well. The company will also offer a low-speed reverse gear on the bike. Talking about gears, the bike will have a 4-speed manual transmission as well, which should up the fun quotient when riding the bike. There will also be customised riding modes along with a storage space which will be big enough to swallow a normal sized helmet.
