The much awaited electric motorcycle T6X by Tork Motors will be virtually launched in the last week of January 2022 as KRATOS.
A product of six years of extensive research and development, the KRATOS is the first vertically integrated electric vehicle in India. It will be powered by the company’s proprietary TORK LIION® battery pack with advanced Axial flux motor topology for highest peak power and range, said the company.
Tork Motors claims to be India’s first electric motorcycle manufacturer, and the KRATOS, in many sense is a truly ‘Made in India’ smart motorcycle, said a Tork Motors release. Tork Motors has filed more than 50 patents and designs under IPR (Intellectual Property Rights).
KRATOS will come with Tork Motors’ signature Tork Intuitive Response Operating System or TIROS, an intelligence system that would allow technical analysis, power management, real time power consumption, data compilation on every ride, and range forecasts. The motorcycle is also equipped with fast charging capabilities and 4G telemetry for data and service support.
Once launched, customers would be able to book the product online. Tork Motors is gearing up to deliver the motorcycle within a couple of months. In addition to improved ergonomics, LED headlight and taillight, KRATOS would also feature a new version of split seat for seating comfort to the city riders, said the company.
Kapil Shelke, CEO/Founder, Tork Motors said, “After years of extensive research and iterations, we are all set to showcase India’s first electric motorcycle – KRATOS. As the name indicates, KRATOS is personification of strength and power. It’s not only renamed as KRATOS but developed entirely as a brand-new motorcycle than T6X with notable redesigned frame and styling achieved by rigorous testing with internal and external teams.”
Notably, Bharat Forge (BFL) has been a strategic investor in Tork Motors through its subsidiary Kalyani Powertrain since early 2018.
