Orxa Energies has just unveiled its latest offering, the Mantis, and it’s making waves in the electric motorcycle arena. Packed with cutting-edge features and an impressive range, the Mantis is set to redefine the electric biking experience.
Performance Powerhouse: Powered by a liquid-cooled motor, the Mantis boasts a peak power output of 20.5kW and a torque of 93Nm. With a claimed top speed of 135kmph and an acceleration time of 8.9 seconds from 0-100kmph, it promises an exhilarating ride for electric bike enthusiasts.
Impressive Range and Charging: The Mantis comes equipped with a non-removable 8.9kWh battery, offering an estimated Indian Driving Conditions (IDC) range of 221km. Charging the battery is efficient, taking 5 hours with the standard 1.3kW charger and 2 hours and 30 minutes with the ‘Blitz’ 3.3kW charger.
Design and Build: Featuring an all-aluminium aerospace-grade alloy frame and subframe, the Mantis stands out with its lightweight design. The motorcycle’s aesthetics are complemented by twin projector LED headlights, a 5-inch TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity, and two stylish color options: Urban Black and Jungle Grey.
Long-Term Ownership Solutions: Orxa has taken a forward-thinking approach to ownership. Partnering with Nunam for end-of-life battery buyback services, they offer a remarkable “40 percent cost advantage.” Spare It, another Bengaluru-based startup, will handle servicing, ensuring a comprehensive support system for Mantis owners.
Charging Infrastructure and Future Plans: To address the charging needs of Mantis owners, Orxa has collaborated with Bolt for fast charging solutions. The company envisions a robust charging infrastructure, with over 100 charging points set to emerge along highways, facilitating seamless long-distance rides.
Environmental Commitment: Orxa’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond the road. The company claims that at the end of its life, the Mantis reduces its carbon footprint by 40 percent, thanks to a strategic partnership with Nunam for responsible battery disposal.
Rivalry in the Electric Motorcycle Realm: In the competitive landscape of electric motorcycles, the Orxa Mantis finds itself in rivalry with the Ultraviolette F77. Positioned between the affordable Tork Kratos R and the high-end F77, the Mantis promises a compelling option for riders seeking a perfect balance of performance and affordability.
Conclusion: As Orxa Mantis revs up for its first deliveries in April 2024, the electric motorcycle scene in India is in for a thrilling transformation. With its impressive range, performance features, and a forward-looking ownership model, the Mantis is set to carve its niche in the world of electric bikes.
