Kabira Mobility has confirmed the launch of two new high speed electric bikes in India next month. The Goa-based EV startup will unveil two models – KM 3000 and KM 4000. The company claims both models are completely ‘Made in India’ and have opened pre-bookings on their website.

The bikes will be powered by a DeltaEV BLDC Motor which would propel them to a top speed of 120kmph and a 150 km riding range on a full charge. The bikes will also be equipped with combi-brakes, fast charging, fireproof battery, park assist and other smart features.

The company calls the KM 3000 an ‘Electric Sports Bike’ while the KM 4000 will be ‘Electric Street Bike’. The teaser image shows one faired and one naked sports bike, without revealing which name each one would carry.

The bikes have been in the development stage for two years and are touted to become gamechangers in the electric mobility space in India this year. Jaibir Siwach, CEO of Kabira Mobility said, “These electric bikes were a distant vision when we started our product development journey in Goa in 2018, but they are now a reality and have turned out to be more magnificent than what we had imagined.”

Kabira Mobility has manufacturing facilities in Goa and Dharwad in Karnataka, and with its new products, it has now set sight on expansion across India using e-commerce and dealership model. (MT)
