New Delhi: EV start-up based in Goa The KM5000 has been formally unveiled by Kabira Mobility in advance of its release in the Indian market. With a stated top speed of 188 km/h, the unconventional-looking cruiser asserts to be the fastest Indian electric motorcycle. The electric vehicle (EV) boasts an unmatched range of up to 344 kilometres on a single charge thanks to its 11.6 kWh liquid-cooled battery pack.

The company intends to break into the high-end e-bike market with the upcoming KM5000.
The Kabira KM5000 combines the design elements of a cruiser and a roadster, and it has the posture of a crouching predator. It has a powerful tank-like design, a circular LED headlamp with an integrated DRL, a wide handlebar, a bobber-style saddle with built-in springs for comfort, and designer alloy wheels. A digital dashboard with 4G connectivity measures 7.0 inches in the EV.
