After Tork & Ather, Katalyst Automotive promises a high speed electric 2 wheeler.


Yelhanka, Bengaluru based Katalyst Automotive Pvt. Ltd. has once again made a promise that Ather and Tork have made before it. The promise of high speed, yet efficient 2 wheeler traveling.



So, have a look at the claimed figures in short, for better understanding:-

- 85 kilometers/ charge,
- 95 kmph top speed (elec. limited), courtesy of the powerful 5000W brushless DC motor,
- Quick Charging in 35 minutes,




Among other features, the most noteworthy are:-

- Regenerative braking (in short, it charges battery a little when you reduce speed, by using motor as generator)
- LED Lightning cluster,
- TFT LCD Console,
- Online connectivity,
- GPS Tracking,
- Key less entry,




I know, its funny to see an electric vehicle at a petrol pump. But still, a leak is a leak.

While its not exactly "Green" for now, but a proper electric vehicle industry is more ready to go greener in future, than Gasoline-based industry. Secondly, it does divert pollution from the urban areas, and hence it does help in making our cities clean and green.
At the moment, its definitely more economical to run an electric vehicle though, and their linear torque makes them suitable for a wide range of applications..

The Brushless DC motor is an obvious choice, but so far, not much info is available about the battery type, although in an expected price range of around Rs. 85000, it is prudent enough to accept a Lithium Ion battery or maybe a further advanced one, but not a lead acid one at least, we hope.

Apparently, tomorrow they're scheduled to unveil the actual product's improved prototype or maybe a contest, or something else, because they have a teaser that says "1 day to go for the big reveal".

Stay tuned to see what they're up to, and let me know what you think about this...
