Vlektra has launched a new version of its long-range electric motorcycle, the Velocity 180. The upgraded model, dubbed the Velocity 180 Special Edition, introduces significant performance and design enhancements while maintaining the same 180-kilometer range per charge.
The major upgrade in the Special Edition comes in the form of a 2000W BLDC motor, compared to the 1500W hub motor in the standard Velocity 180. This allows the new variant to reach a top speed of 85 km/h, up from the original 65 km/h. Torque has also been increased from 100 Nm to 120 Nm.
Other key improvements include dual disc brakes at both front and rear, tubeless tires, and three ride modes with reverse assistance, offering greater flexibility and control. The charging time has also been slightly reduced, with the Special Edition taking 3.5 hours to fully charge using a 10 Amp AC charger, versus the 4 hours required for the standard model.
While both models are equipped with a 72V 36Ah lithium iron phosphate battery, the Special Edition adds a distinct visual upgrade with a blazing red color scheme.
Price and Booking
The introductory price has been set at Rs. 375,000, with bookings open against a down payment of Rs. 50,000.
