All We Know About The Hop Oxo Electric Bike So Far

[UPDATE: Hop Electric has launched the OXO electric motorcycle in India. Read this story for the specification, features and other details]

Hop Electric Mobility is all set to launch its first electric motorcycle, the Oxo 100, on September 5. The Oxo is marketed as a performance-oriented electric bike and here’s all that we know about it.

The most striking realisation one would have after seeing the Hop Oxo is that it is reminiscent of the Yamaha FZ-Fi version 2. It gets a streetfighter-style bodywork with a sporty design and minimal body panels. What’s an eyesore is the large battery pack sticking out of where an IC engine would normally be placed.

While full specifications are still under wraps, Hop claims that the e-bike will get a range between 100-150km with its Li-ion battery pack. That is pretty reasonable considering the hub motor propels the bike to a claimed top speed of 100mph.

While the underpinnings are pretty straightforward, with a telescopic fork and dual shock absorbers, it gets fork gaiters for a bit of a rugged appeal. Braking prowess comes from discs at both ends.

The pre-bookings for the e-bike are open at Rs 999 on the company’s official website. That said, the EV manufacturer has already reported 5,000 bookings before the launch. It is likely to be priced around Rs 1.20 lakh (ex-showroom) and will go up against other e-bikes in India like the Revolt RV 400 and freshers like Tork Kratos and Oben Rorr.
