Avore EX1 and EX2 Launched in India: Price, Range and What They Actually Cost You Monthly

Avore EX1 and EX2 electric bikes have gone on sale in India, with the Gujarat-based startup pricing its debut motorcycle at Rs 1,24,999 ex-showroom for the first 10,000 buyers. That's a real number, not a teaser figure — pre-bookings are already open at Rs 799, and Avore has priced three variants together instead of trickling them out one at a time. For anyone commuting in Delhi or Mumbai and tired of petrol touching ₹103 a litre, this launch matters because it's one of the few electric motorcycles, not scooters, sitting under the ₹1.5 lakh mark.

Avore EX1 Price and What You're Getting

The EX1 carries a 3.24kWh battery pack and a 10.5kW motor, good for a claimed IDC range of 160km and a top speed of 100kph. Zero to 40kph comes up in 3.2 seconds — quick enough in city traffic, though nobody's mistaking this for a performance machine. A 750W charger is bundled in, and Avore says a full charge takes around three hours on a regular 15A socket. Riders get four modes — Eco, City, Sport and Reverse — displayed on a 7-inch segmented LCD console rather than a full colour screen. After the introductory window closes, the EX1's price jumps to Rs 1,34,999, so the early-bird math genuinely favours whoever books first.

EX2 and EX2S: Same Motor, Bigger Battery, One Real Surprise

Step up to the EX2 and the price moves to Rs 1,45,999, buying a larger 5kWh pack and a claimed range of 255km — nearly 100km more than the EX1 for roughly ₹20,000 extra. Charging is where the EX2 pulls ahead too: its 1,500W onboard charger takes the battery from 20 to 80 percent in about two hours, versus the EX1's slower top-up. The range-topping EX2S, at Rs 1,69,999, keeps the same 5kWh battery but pushes the top speed to 114kph and trims the 0-40kph sprint to 2.8 seconds. It also gets a 7-inch TFT touchscreen with AI-assisted navigation, geofencing and crash alerts, plus hill-hold assist and cruise control. The genuine talking point, though, is a switchable manual gearbox — something no other electric motorcycle sold in India currently offers, and it's the one feature that could pull curious buyers into a showroom just to try it.

On-Road Price in Delhi and Mumbai

Since electric two-wheelers are exempt from road tax and registration charges in both Delhi and Maharashtra, the on-road price stays close to ex-showroom — expect to add roughly ₹6,000-8,000 for comprehensive insurance and handling, putting the EX1 near Rs 1.31-1.33 lakh on-road in either city. That's a smaller gap between ex-showroom and on-road than you'd see on a comparable petrol commuter, which usually adds ₹10,000-15,000 in RTO fees alone.

What the EX1 Actually Costs You Every Month

Here's the number most launch coverage skips. On a standard 20 percent down payment over 60 months at 11 percent interest, financing the EX1's roughly Rs 1 lakh balance works out to an EMI near Rs 2,175 a month. Run the same math on the EX2S and its higher loan amount of about Rs 1.36 lakh, and the EMI lands closer to Rs 2,950. Charging costs tell a sharper story: at an average domestic tariff of roughly ₹8 per unit, a full 3.24kWh charge on the EX1 costs around ₹26 and covers 160km — call it 16 paise per kilometre. Ride 1,500km a month, typical for a daily commuter doing 50km a day, and you're looking at roughly ₹240 in electricity. A 110cc petrol commuter covering the same distance at 50kmpl and today's ₹103/litre would cost around ₹3,090 a month in fuel alone. That gap — nearly ₹2,850 saved every month — is the real reason this segment exists, EMI included.

How It Stacks Up Against Revolt and Tork

The EX1's Rs 1.25 lakh introductory price undercuts the Revolt RV400, which starts closer to Rs 1.40 lakh ex-showroom for a similar city-commuter profile, though the RV400 has years of service history and a wider dealer network behind it. Higher up, the EX2S at Rs 1.70 lakh sits well below the Tork Kratos R, which starts north of Rs 1.6 lakh even before you factor in the Kratos R's larger battery and stronger performance credentials. Avore's pitch, in other words, isn't matching either rival spec-for-spec — it's undercutting both on price while betting the manual-gearbox gimmick on the EX2S does enough to justify the badge being unproven.

Buy Now or Wait?

Full specifications — kerb weight, seat height, suspension setup, exact delivery timelines — are still missing, and Avore hasn't said when the first units actually reach buyers. That's the honest caveat here: this is a brand with zero track record on Indian roads, launching three bikes simultaneously rather than proving itself with one. If the introductory EX1 pricing and the EX2S's gearbox trick genuinely interest you, the Rs 799 booking amount is low enough that reserving a unit costs you nothing but patience. If service network and resale value matter more than novelty, letting the first batch of owners report back for two or three months isn't a bad call either. Either way, check the on-road price and EMI for the Avore EX1 and EX2 in your city on Drivio before you decide.
