Avore Electric has pulled the covers off its first motorcycle range in India, and the pricing undercuts what most estimates had pointed to ahead of launch. The Ahmedabad-based brand, from Samarth E-Mobility, has introduced three variants: the EX1, EX2, and a range-topping EX2 S.
Pricing
The EX1 opens at an introductory ex-showroom price of ₹1,24,999, but that number only holds for the first 10,000 buyers. Once that quota is used up, the price moves to ₹1,34,999 ex-showroom. The EX2 is priced at ₹1,45,999, and the EX2 S sits at the top at ₹1,69,999, all ex-showroom.
That introductory EX1 price lands below every pre-launch estimate circulating over the past month, most of which had clustered around ₹1.5 lakh. Whether Avore can sustain that pricing at volume, especially once the introductory batch runs out, is worth watching over the next few months.
What’s under the skin
The EX1 gets a 3.24 kWh battery paired with the same 10.5 kW motor that had been confirmed pre-launch, along with a 750W charger. Avore claims a range of 160 km, a 100 kmph top speed, and a 0-40 kmph sprint in 3.2 seconds, with four selectable riding modes. That battery figure is notably smaller than the 5 kWh pack widely reported in pre-launch coverage, so buyers comparing spec sheets should go by these final, confirmed numbers rather than earlier estimates.

The EX2 S is the more interesting variant on paper. It pushes top speed to 114 kmph, cuts the 0-40 kmph sprint to 2.8 seconds, adds two more riding modes for a total of six, and comes with what Avore calls a simulated manual gearbox, aimed at riders who want the feel of shifting gears on a traditional motorcycle. It’s a feature we haven’t seen paired with an electric motorcycle in this price band before.
Hardware across the range
All three variants get a telescopic fork up front and a monoshock at the rear, along with disc brakes at both ends and a combined braking system. The EX1 and EX2 use a conventional chain drive, while the EX2 S switches to a belt drive, which should mean lower maintenance for the top-spec model specifically.
The competitive picture
At ₹1,24,999 for the introductory EX1, Avore is pricing itself close to the Revolt RV400 and below where the Oben Rorr Evo sits, putting real pressure on the segment’s existing players right out of the gate. Whether that pricing survives contact with real-world service costs and after-sales support, an area where established brands still have a head start, will be the story to track over Avore’s first few months of deliveries.
