Wow...I can image the numerous sleepless nights coming up with that design  ;D
Think this will help eliminate a lot of the train congestion over there as you can pack on about 100 on that thing

Interesting... I wonder what the range would be in terms of one of the recognized test cycles (60Ah @ 72V translates to a 4.3kWh battery).
If the other specs are right, this would count as a short-range-ish real motorcycle rather than a scooter/moped.
A 2 lakh price would put it, if google didn't fail me, just above the Royal Enfield 500cc models in india.

Not however a motorcycle that I can see having any market in developed countries.

The styling leaves a LOT to be desired, but I feel they are on the right track with the easily swappable batteries...
