Context
Why does it matter?
The Komaki Ranger will be the first electric cruiser bike in India and shall pack a 4kWh battery pack: the largest battery seen on an electric two-wheeler here. The upcoming motorcycle shall be priced aggressively to ensure that it becomes a competitive proposition in the EV market, which is currently dominated by sporty-looking scooters.
Design

The Komaki Ranger is expected to have a muscular fuel tank, a stepped-up seat with a pillion backrest, high-set handlebars, and a circular headlight as well as turn indicators. The bike should offer a reverse switch, a digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, an all-LED setup for lighting, and ride on wire-spoke or alloy wheels.
Information
It will promise a range of 250km per charge
The Komaki Ranger will be powered by a 5kW electric motor mated to a 4kWh battery pack. Though its power figures are currently unavailable, the vehicle shall deliver a range of 250km on a single charge.
Safety
It will get cruise control
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Komaki Ranger might be equipped with disc brakes on both the front and rear wheels, along with an advanced braking system and cruise control for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the bike should be taken care of by inverted forks on the front side and a shock absorber on the rear end.
