What you need to know about India’s first electric cruiser bike

Komaki recently launched the country’s first electric cruiser motorcycle: Ranger. This is definitely a huge milestone for both, the electric two-wheeler manufacturer as well as the country. After all, the new Komaki Ranger not only marks the further expansion of the country’s burgeoning EV market but also serves to initialise a brand new segment here. Suffice it to say that there is quite a bit of interest in this new electric bike in India; starting from tomorrow, i.e. Republic Day 2022, at an ex-showroom price of ₹1.68 lakh. So, now looks like a good time to take a closer look at this new electric bike in India and what it is all about, especially if you want to or plan to take it home some day.

1. While it is an all-electric cruiser motorcycle, Ranger manages to look like your run-of-the-mill petrol-powered cruiser motorcycle, thanks to the round headlamp, the chrome cowl, the tall handlebar, the teardrop-shaped fuel tank, the split step-up seat, and the panniers among other things.
2. The list of Komaki Ranger’s features includes provisions such as a Bluetooth sound system, a side stand sensor, an anti-theft lock system, and other accessories and systems such as two panniers, cruise control, etc.
3. The bike also gets the CBS double disc brake system; weighing only 580 grams, this system keeps an eye on the front and rear wheels at a frequency of 200 times per second in order to prevent a wheel lock.
4. Komaki Ranger e bike gets a 4000-watt motor and a 4 kW battery pack, which is the largest battery pack seen on a two-wheeler in India.
5. The company claims Komaki Ranger can travel a distance of 180 km to 220 km on a single charge.
