Tronx Motors, a company owned by Smartron, on Wednesday launched its first crossover electric bike Tronx One, priced at Rs 49,999.
Tronx One will provide a range of around 50 km per charge. The company will start shipping the product July 16 onwards.
Smartron Founder and Chairman Mahesh Lingareddy said the launch marks the company's efforts to build product ecosystem around Tronx Platform.
He said the company wants to extend tronXTM to disrupt the commute experience that has been pretty much the same for almost a century. "We believe Smartron and TronX Motors can uniquely differentiate its products through integration of various connected and autonomous technologies powered by tronXTM," he said.
Tronx Motors was earlier called Volta Motors and was founded by Anoop Nishanth based out of Chennai. It is Smartron’s tronX vertical focused on building a portfolio of electric, connected and intelligent vehicles for the future.
The e-bike is open for pre-orders and will be available in magma red and pacific blue colours.
Lingareddy said the company has partnered with around five service and care partners in Bengaluru at different locations across the city where the bike will be available for trials and test rides.
Once booked and paid for, the bike will be available for delivery through one of these service and care partners depending on the location of the customer’s address, Lingareddy said.
Besides multiple ride modes, this crossover bike comes with virtual gears coupled with three electric gears and six speed Shimano Shifters which are enabled to extend and adjust the range and speed of the bike.
Tronx One also features a smart display powered by tronXTM and comes with an integrated tbike app which allows you to estimate range, and set fitness goals.
