Citing rising input costs as the reason for the price hike, Tork Motors says that the company has been absorbing a significant portion of the increased costs but the steep rise in overall input costs has compelled this minimal price hike. Having said that, the EV maker has confirmed that it will offer price protection to all the bikes that are being rolled out for deliveries on or before December 31, 2022. This is the first price hike for the electric motorcycles, post their official launch in January 2022. The company recently also launched its first-ever experience centre in Pune, and will be opening touchpoints in seven other cities by the end of this financial year. At present, Tork Motors is delivering the e-motorcycles in Pune, Mumbai and Hyderabad and will soon start deliveries in other markets.
