World EV Day 2023: All The Electric Two-wheeler Launching This Year Itself

From catering to only the low-speed segment to flooding the market with premium, feature-packed made-in-India EVs, the electric two-wheeler segment has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. So, on this year’s World EV Day, we are taking a look at the electric two-wheelers launched in 2023 and the exciting upcoming electric bikes and electric scooters to be launched by the end of the year. 

Here’s what we can expect to be launched by the end of 2023: 

Kinetic Green e-Luna

The iconic Luna is making a comeback, that too in an electric version. The Kinetic Green e-Luna will be launched towards the end of September. Here’s a first look at the Kinetic Green e-Luna. 

TVS iQube ST 

When TVS launched the iQube, its top-end variant ST was also announced. But after several delays, it’s high time TVS launches the iQube ST electric scooter.  We really hope the company launches it by the end of this year. 

Raptee Electric Bike

An upcoming electric bike from Raptee Motors, a Chennai-based EV startup, was spotted a while back. It is likely to be launched by the end of this year, probably around November-December. 

Orxa Mantis

Bengaluru-based Orxa unveiled the Mantis electric bike at IBW 2022 and it is expected to be launched by the end of 2023. It looks aggressive and packs promising features and mechanicals. In terms of pricing, it is likely to slot just below the Ultraviolette F77, the fastest electric bike in the country, and also the one with the highest range in India.

Here’s a recap of all the key EVs that have been launched in India in 2023:

Ather

Ather started 2023 by taking the wraps off the updated 450X. A few months after that, the EV maker axed the lower-spec 450 Plus and offered the 450X at two different price points. Check out the details here. 

In June 2023, Ather launched its most affordable scooter yet, the 450S. Check out the e-scooter in our launch story here. 

Ola

Ola Electric launched the S1 Air in February in three trims. On Independence Day, the EV maker launched the S1 Pro Gen 2 and the S1 X range of scooters. Check them out here.

Ultraviolette launched a special edition model of the F77, called the Space Edition. Its production was limited to just 10 units. It costs as much as a small car and yet, all of them were sold out in 90 seconds!
