Today, Pune-based startup, Polarity finally launched their most-awaited all-electric range of smart bikes in Mumbai. These bikes are available in two different segments, the ‘S’ Sport series and ‘E’ Executive series and will be the first-of-their-kind road-legal EVs, as they are also equipped with pedals for extra assistance. The bikes are fitted with a single seat and a simple front and rear suspension set-up. The pre-bookings will begin soon and the bikes will be available to book at a refundable deposit of INR 1,001, while the deliveries will commence in the first quarter of 2020.
The prices for the most affordable bike in the range starts at INR 38,000 (ex-showroom, India), while the top-of-the-line model will retail for INR 1,10,000 (ex-showroom, India). These 6 bikes have been divided into 2 segments, namely, the ‘S’ Sport series, that gets 3 bikes: the S1K, S2K and the S3K, while the ‘E’ Executive variant also gets 3 bikes: the E1K, E2K and the E3K. Once the sales begin, there will be over 36 variations available for the entire range, which is almost 6 variants for each bike in the range. Each segment gets 3 different battery packs, which means the most affordable model in both the segments gets a 40V Lithium-ion battery, while the mid-model gets a 50V battery and the top and most expensive model gets the 80V battery.
