Orxa Energies has finally unveiled the production-ready version of its Mantis electric bike priced at ₹ 3.6 lakh (ex-showroom, Bengaluru, charger-inclusive).
The company says that deliveries of the two-wheeler are estimated to begin by April 2024 in Bengaluru, while the delivery dates for other cities are still yet to be announced.
The fascia features a twin LED projector unit which is quite polarising by nature. Towards the side, the Mantis gets edgy-looking panels that give it a sporty appearance. The rear section seems to have taken inspiration from a few high-displacement, street-naked ICE bikes in the market.
Coming to its features, the bike gets a 5-inch digital TFT display with Bluetooth connectivity, along with a Mantis app which can be used for navigation, while also displaying phone notifications and rider analytics on the TFT.
The Mantis is suspended by a 41 mm telescopic fork up front, while at the rear, it is equipped with a monoshock setup, adjustable for preload. Braking duties are handled by disc brakes on both ends, with a 320 mm unit at the front and a 230 mm unit at the rear.
The Mantis is powered by a liquid-cooled electric motor with a peak power output of 20.5 kW and peak torque of 93 Nm. This helps it reach top speeds of up to 135 kmph and go from 0 to 100 kmph in 8.9 seconds.
The motorcycle features an 8.9 kWh fixed battery setup that can deliver a claimed range of up to 221 km. The electric bike can be had with a 1.3 kW wall-mounted charger as standard which takes 5 hours to charge from 0 to 80 per cent.
