Since we covered
Nepal’s first-ever electric bike ‘Project Zero’ previously, we contemplated on
what everyone is also apparently contemplating.
What are the international Electric Motorcycles
available in Nepal?
To kickstart your riding journey through an electric medium, here are
some electric motorcycles which are available in Nepal:
·
Harley Davidson Street 750
·
Harley Davidson Street Rod 750
·
Motrac E-M5
·

If P-0 has a battery life
of ten years, then what Genius X46 also pushes through in terms of their visual
aesthetic, making sure that this super-naked inspired look maintains its gloss
of paint for five years.
It is one powerhouse of a
bike without the compromise of its appeal to the eye. But comparatively, the
charging speed for Genius X46 is 4 hours.
TAILG Tiger
Home to Yomama E Motors
next to Genius Electric Motorcycles, with a top speed of 51 km/hr.
Despite giving only a
decent mileage on a full charge, why it is still considered?

And to give an additional
feature, this scooter has an auto repair system (APS) installed in it. This
means that the problems in the vehicle will not only be auto-detected but also
be reset as per the requirement to keep the vehicle at its best.
What is the price of an Electric Motorcycle in Nepal?
P-0 is standing with its
environmentally friendly design at NRs. 19,49,000.
Genius X46 costs NRs.
4,26,000 while TAILG Tiger costs NRs. 1,83,000.
And with its standing point, it does give justice to
the specifications it provides.
Do you think so too? Let us know in the comments.
How
is Project Zero (P-0) different from other Electronic Vehicles?
Other than the fact that P-0 was made in Nepal; since
this is Yatri Motorcycles’ beginning steps, they are only making 50 of the
model.
The charging speed is claimed to be two hours, and
with a DC charger, P-0 is expected to be charged up to 80% within just twenty
minutes.
With the peak power of 48 KW, this ride will take you
comfortably through the good and not-so-good roads of Nepal. Amidst all the
road conditions, with the top speed of 140 km/h P-0 appears to be very hopeful
to take you on a comfy and safe ride too.
You have to pay a reservation fee pf NRs.10,000 to
reserve P-0 for yourself
You can check the specifications and see for yourself
the integral differences you will get for the price you pay.

You would think that electric vehicles aren’t that
popular here in Nepal, but you couldn’t be more wrong.
They are more popular than you think. As much as
people wanted to make a switch into the more environmentally friendly transport
option, they have to think twice before making the decision.
What next to consider after having an
Electronic Vehicle?
A bike is not a small object, so if one got stuck on
the road, it would be extremely inconvenient.
Any electronic vehicle runs on the charge it has
accumulated, so a portable battery to charge your bike without having to worry
if a charging station is available is a lifesaver as it takes away the hassle
of getting stuck in the middle of the road if the battery runs out.
People don’t usually carry around petrol for their
bike, but they go and get it filled in a gas station. This step is completely
replaced by a portable charger which is a huge time saver.
This is why a bike with a portable charger can be more
efficient than your regular petrol or diesel requiring motorbikes.
Final remarks
At the end of it all, today we have a variation of
vehicles that do not require petrol or diesel to run.
Today we have a variety of such vehicles, be it the
nation’s first-ever self-made EV or the ones which are popular vehicles of
choice.
As we now have an electric motorcycle made
in Nepal that matches the safety standards and procedures of an international
electric motorcycle, we are ready to tap into an environment-friendly bike
either outsourced or insourced.
You could opt for a vehicle considering your safety
first. Then comes the price and the aesthetics of it, if need be. But either
way, it is an individual’s choice to try something new or stick with the publicly
used vehicles.
We still want to hear from you, though. Let us know in
