Sick of burning fuel, your skin and your wallet because of ICE motorcycles? Maybe what you need is an electric bike to stop the pinch on your wallet. Hop Electric has just launched a new pair of electric bikes, the Hop OXO standard and OXO-X. Priced at just ₹1.25 lacs, this might just be the most affordable solution to your commute woes.
The bikes come feature-packed, from the multi-mode re-generative braking to the 4G connectivity with a partner mobile app that helps you unlock speed control, geo-fencing, an anti-theft system, ride stats and much more.
Sporting a five-inch Advance Information Display with an IP67 rating to weather whatever the world throws your way. Down to the mechanics itself, the bikes work on a 72 V architecture with a 6200 Watt peak power motor capable of delivering 200 Nm of wheel torque. The OXO has 3 ride modes – eco, power and sport, with the welcome addition of the turbo mode on the OXO-X. The X has a top speed of 90kph courtesy of the Turbo mode and can accelerate from 0-40kms in just 4 seconds.
The bikes draw their power from the advanced lithium-ion battery with smart BMS and 811 NMC cell. The 3.75 kWh battery pack can keep you running for about 150 km on a single charge. And charging has been made easy, with the use of the smart charger at any 16 Amp power socket. You can go from 0 to 80% battery in less than 4 hours, too.
