Even though we have a fair share of electric 2 wheelers, there’s always room for more. Right now, Ola Electric, Hero Electric, Okinawa, Ampere and Ather Energy are top brands when it comes to electric two wheelers. Hero MotoCorp, TVS, Bajaj, and others are pushing the sales envelope too. Here are some of the most anticipated upcoming electric two wheelers that might be worth waiting for. Launch timelines for most of these two wheelers are not yet known, though.
Ultraviolette F77
Recently, we witnessed the launch of Ultraviolette F77. This is a modern fusion of a faired and a street motorcycle. In that sense, it gets a fairing that covers its frame, battery and motor. However, the front is designed to mimic a street fighter with beefy USD fork covers. It will get a motor with 35 bhp of peak power capable of 147 km/h top speed and will sip juice from a 4.2 kWh battery. Price starts from Rs 3.8 lakh and goes all the way to Rs 5.5 lakh.
Oben Rorr T
This electric motorcycle has been launched in India for Rs. 1 lakh and claims a range of 200 km (IDC). It was spotted testing even after its launch and delivery date is not yet known. This Bengaluru-based company is targeting the likes of Tork Kratos. When compared to its immediate rivals like Kratos, HOP OXO and RV400, it leads the spec-sheet too.
Raptee Electric Motorcycle
Just like F77 electric motorcycle by Ultraviolette, Raptee electric motorcycle is a hybrid between a naked and a faired motorcycle. Headline figures include a top speed of 135 km/h, 150 km real-world range, 0 to 60 km/h in 3.5 seconds and 0 to 85% charge time in 45 minutes.

Husqvarna Electric Scooter / KTM Duke Electric
Bajaj has got its foot inside the electric two wheeler room with the launch of Chetak. That said, the company is leveraging its partnership with KTM / Husqvarna and has confirmed launch of new products in the EV space. Rumour mill points towards an electric Husqvarna E-Pilen and KTM E-Duke. Both of them are likely to pack 5.5 kWh of battery.
