For the first time in a long time, Tork Motors has returned to the spotlight. Back when the company first became a recognized participant in the EV industry. It introduced an electric two-wheeler concept dubbed Kratos.
Instead of a heavyweight cruiser design typical of most of its peers. The Indian manufacturer designed an electric platform for street use.
The brand hasn’t been heard from since 2016, but that’s all set to change. Now, at long last. Tork Motors has made a big announcement unveiling its all-new Kratos Electric Motorcycle in India.
Back then, we had very little to go by as far as specifications and details were concerned.

Tork Motors revealed their very first electric motorcycle on Livestream yesterday (Jan. 26, 2022). And we are sure you will agree the Kratos is a rather exciting bike. The company has been working on it for years. And it’s finally time for the world to see what Tork Motors had in mind when coming up with this electric motorcycle.
We want to start by saying we have seen people complaining about Tork releasing an electric bike given the price point. But to be honest, most of you are missing the point here.
Kratos isn’t meant to compete with the likes of Zero Motorcycles and Harley-Davidson’s Livewire. But rather serve as a gateway model for new riders to get into the next generation of motorcycles.
