Emflux Motors, a Bengaluru-based tech startup, will launch India's first electric sportbike at the Auto Expo 2018.

The Emflux ONE will have a top speed of 200 kmph and will have an acceleration of 0-100 kmph in just 3 seconds. The motor can produce 71 bhp of power and produce 84 Nm of peak torque, which will be electronically limited to 75 Nm. The design and circuits of the Emflux ONE have been developed completely in-house by the company. The range of the battery will be around 200 km in city riding conditions, while officials say highway range will depend on the riding style and road conditions.

The Emflux ONE will be available on sale from the beginning of 2019 with the company inaugurating experience centres in Bengaluru, New Delhi and Mumbai. The price of the Emflux ONE is expected to be between Rs. 5-6 lakh (ex-showroom). The experience centres will showcase the bikes and the company is also planning track days (by invitation only) where prospective customers can test ride the bike. Purchases of the bike will be completely online through digital payment methods. The company also has plans to introduce a second model which will have similar specifications , but will have a naked sport design. The Emflux 2 will have two different variants with different battery range.
