Indian Company Develops New Low-Cost Electric Motorcycle That May Hit the Market For Less Than R$ 7,000, Offering A Top Speed Of 75 Km/H And A Range Of 130 Km.
The market for affordable electric motorcycles has just gained another model. This is the EcoDryft, a new “budget-friendly” electric motorcycle from the manufacturer PURE EV, capable of reaching up to 75 km/h and featuring a range of 130 km. The model, which was developed in China, is available in blue, black, red, and gray, and can carry up to 140 kg of payload.
Low-Cost Electric Motorcycle Features Various Technologies And May Reach Other Regions
Naturally, the model enters the local market with a highly attractive price of 99,999 Indian Rupees, which directly converts to just over R$ 6,200. According to the manufacturer, this model is the most accessible in its category in the country.
For this price, the buyer takes home a vehicle equipped with a 3 kW electric motor, a 3 kWh battery, and even a digital instrument panel and Bluetooth connectivity. The good news is that the “budget-friendly” electric motorcycle will also be launched in other regions of the world, including South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, for example.

Motor oil may become more expensive and even scarce in the United States as the war in the Middle East pressures suppliers and worries drivers.

A used Suzuki GSR 150i that almost no one is looking for can travel more than 460 km on a tank, has electronic fuel injection, a 6-speed gearbox, and achieved a consumption of 38 km/l in urban testing.

5 used cars starting from R$ 30,000 with cheap and easy-to-find parts from manufacturers like Fiat, Honda, and Volkswagen deliver up to 120 hp, fuel consumption of 13 km/l, a trunk capacity of 384 liters, and simple maintenance in 2026

German factories, German workers, and Chinese electric cars: Volkswagen considers opening idle plants to Chinese partners as it faces a drop in profits, high costs, and the risk of mass layoffs.
The plan is part of the manufacturer’s strategy to expand the reach of its dealer network. Ultimately, the company aims to capitalize on the recent “boom” in the electric motorcycle market that is emerging in India to perform well in sales.
The expectation is that the EcoDryft will be well received by consumers; now it remains to be seen if there is a chance the affordable electric motorcycle will also arrive here. The price would be a considerable attraction for Brazilian consumers. With reservations open, the first units of the model will be delivered as early as next month. The final price may vary based on state subsidies and other fees.
Electric Motorcycle Market Is Expanding
In addition to this model, iGowise Mobility has launched another model in the electric car market, named BeiGo X4. The model was announced on January 26, and what stands out is its price.
The “budget-friendly” electric motorcycle will cost around R$ 6,900 in its basic version. Additionally, it will have a range of 150 km, due to its ultra-durable and fire-resistant LifePO4 batteries, capable of withstanding over 2,500 charge cycles.
Another noteworthy detail in the model is a spacious trunk located under the seat with a capacity of 60 liters. In Brazil, combustion models from major manufacturers have an average capacity of around 10 to 18 liters. Thus, in some cases, the Indian scooter has up to 6 times more storage space.
Advantages Of An Electric Motorcycle
Currently, in Brazil, there is a crisis in the price of gasoline, which is continuously increasing, creating a cascading effect that impacts society as a whole, but especially those who use their own vehicles. Therefore, acquiring an electric scooter may be an excellent option for those looking to save money, and there are many advantages to purchasing this type of model in the country.
First, it is important to remember that in Brazil, an electric motorcycle requires a driver’s license to freely navigate the streets. According to the Brazilian Traffic Code (CBT), to operate mopeds above 50 cc, the rider needs a type A driver’s license. Thus, the advantages of electric motorcycles are based on other requirements. For example, spending less on fuel or not having to pay IPVA.
