5 Hottest Bike News Of This Week

The year might be nearing its end, but the two-wheeler space seems to be going stronger than ever, and this week was no different. So here’s a hand-picked list of five of the hottest news of this rather eventful week.

Electric News

The electric two-wheelers space was, once again, busy this week. We first got to look at the Orxa Mantis at IBW 2022 in Goa. Here’s what’s new on it compared to the 2019 bike. 

Next was a bunch of electric bikemakers announcing a range of year-end offers in a bid to end the calendar year on a high. Ather first announced how extending your battery warranty will cost you only Re 1! Bengaluru-based Ola Electric was next. The company is, in fact, even giving away 10 Ola S1 Pro e-scooters for free. Finally it was Tork Motors who revealed its collaboration with CredR. Here’s how you can exchange your old ICE two-wheeler for a brand new Tork Kratos.

Finally, the Indian electric scooter segment saw its latest entrant, the Stella Moto Buzz. The scooter packs a decent range at a reasonable price but looks quite similar to a certain TVS scooter.
