Bengaluru-based start-up, Orxa Energies has officially launched its highly anticipated electric motorcycle, Mantis, aiming to compete with industry counterparts such as Ultraviolette, Revolt, and Oben Electric.
Priced at an ex-showroom cost of INR 3.6 Lakh, including the standard charger, the Mantis promises a formidable 221 km range, a top speed of 135 km per hour, and is equipped with an 8.9 kWh battery pack.
Founded in 2017 by Dr. Prajwal Sabnis and Ranjita Ravi, Orxa Energies has been carving its niche in the high-performance electric vehicle (EV) and energy systems sector.
The Mantis concept was initially introduced in 2016, with the bike's official unveiling taking place at the India Bike Week (IBW) in 2019.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the start-up shifted its focus to weight optimization, resulting in a substantial 25 kg reduction in the Mantis. Last year, Orxa Energies secured an undisclosed amount in a pre-Series A funding round from SAR Group’s Lectrix E-Vehicles, bolstering its financial standing.
Dr. Sabnis, speaking at the launch event, revealed that the battery capacity has been increased by 15%, coupled with a 10% reduction in weight. Notably, the battery packs have been seamlessly integrated into the motorcycle's frame, contributing to a weight of 182 kg.
The deliveries are expected to commence in April 2024 in Bengaluru. To alleviate range and servicing concerns, Orxa Energies has forged strategic partnerships with Spare It, Bolt, and Nunam.
Nunam's battery buyback service offers a 40% cost advantage to Orxa customers, Spare It serves as the official service partner, and Bolt's fast-charging stations ensure a seamless charging experience for Mantis owners.
Orxa Energies co-founder Ravi expressed the start-up’s commitment to empowering the broader EV community, providing essential resources for the ecosystem's growth.
