The vehicle has a peak torque rating of 172 Nm, a gradeability of 33%, a top speed of 75 kmph and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 264 kg. Its listed equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, a rib-caged chassis, telescopic suspension, crash guards and dual disc brakes with a combined braking system (CBS).

Deepak Thakur, CEO, JAKSON Green Vehicles, said the product had been developed for customers who use two-wheelers for a range of everyday and livelihood-related requirements. He said the launch was part of the group’s wider focus on expanding into electric mobility.

Amitabh Saran, CTO and Founder of Altigreen, said the company had applied its electric vehicle engineering experience to a two-wheeler format. He also pointed to the role of the company’s dealership and service network in supporting the new product.

The launch is part of Altigreen’s stated portfolio expansion across electric two-wheelers, cargo three-wheelers and passenger three-wheelers. The company said it plans to enter the passenger three-wheeler category as well.
