Overview

Introducing the EKO EV 60 Electric motorcycle, a forward-thinking scooter that combines eco-friendliness with practicality, ideal for urban commuters and environmentally-conscious riders alike. Launched in 2011, the EV 60 positions itself in the burgeoning electric vehicle market, catering primarily to riders in India looking for a sustainable alternative to traditional petrol scooters. With its sleek design, vibrant red color option, and compact dimensions, this electric scooter is designed for navigating busy city streets with ease while making a stylish statement. Underneath its modern exterior, the EKO EV 60 packs a punch with its electric engine, delivering a modest 1.07 HP (0.8 kW) of power. This might not sound like much, but it translates into a top speed of 57.0 km/h (35.4 mph), making it more than capable for daily commutes and short jaunts around town. The electric starter ensures a hassle-free ignition every time you hop on, while the lightweight build, weighing just 59.5 kg (131.2 pounds), provides an agile ride that’s easy to maneuver. The telescopic hydraulic front suspension and twin shock rear suspension contribute to a smooth ride, absorbing bumps and imperfections in the road, perfect for urban environments where potholes can be an issue. The EKO EV 60 also boasts several features that enhance its appeal. With a charging time of just 6-10 hours, riders can easily recharge overnight for a range of up to 70 km, making it a practical choice for daily use. The single disc front brake ensures responsive stopping power, while the expanding drum brake at the rear provides reliable performance. The scooter also offers a respectable ground clearance of 105 mm (4.1 inches), allowing it to glide over small obstacles with confidence. Ideal for short commutes or leisurely rides, this electric scooter is designed with the modern urban rider in mind. **
