The product is available in LEAD acid and Lithium-ion battery versions, both.
Mr. Mukesh Taneja, Co-Founder & CEO, GT-Force, shared, “People are having the misconception that EVs might not be able to meet long distance travel requirements, or maybe they are inconvenient. All this is just because they have not really tried the products yet. Therefore, we are working hard towards making the product available in every nook and corner of the country. The team has put in all the efforts towards widening the network of distributors to connect with a larger audience.”
Commenting on the unveiling, Mr. Rajesh Saitya- Co-Founder & COO, GT-Force, said “ India is gradually moving towards EV from ICE. We are playing our role by offering quality products that are also affordable to the users. The idea is to join the larger national ambition, and to do that it is imperative that the end- user gets familiar with the EV technology. We are expanding our product line in a way that it addresses the travel challenges of people one by one. Our slow speed products can easily cater to short distance daily travel of children, women and families. Once the EVs become accessible, people will start opting for them. It is only after getting familiar and comfortable with the technology that they will be able to make the informed decision of ICE to EV switch.”
Additionally, the brand has also unveiled the prototype of its first electric motorcycle to the audience at the expo. The motorbike is expected to be launched in the market in the second half of the calendar year 2022.
GT-Force has already expanded its distributors’ network to 80 cities across the country with 100+ dealerships.
