Mahindra is all set to enter the electric two-wheeler segment with an electrified version of the Mojo. Well, how do we know this? Through a fellow motorcycle enthusiast who spotted the motorcycle outside the Bosch factory in Bangaluru recently. Visually, the motorcycle in the shy shots looks exactly the same as the conventionally powered version, except that it has a battery a pack nestled in between the frame instead of the 300cc motor.
The launch of an electrified version of the Mojo should give it a new lease of life considering that it has failed to set its segment on fire. The Mojo 300, which was launched after considerable amount of R&D and testing, was criticised for its bulky looks. This forced Mahindra to launch a more stripped down and less expensive variant called the XT300. To set it apart from the original Mojo 300, the latter was renamed the UT300. However, sales of both bikes still seem to be bleak.
Apart from the battery pack and electric motor, the image of the bike with some extra cladding also suggests that the electrified bike will get a belt drive instead of a chain drive. What’s been done to the space inside the fuel tank remains unknown, though.
Although, this a big step for the company, a brand new electric bike with some visual appeal would really do wonders for the company. There’s no shortage of really talented designers in Mahindra’s design centre and we’re sure they could come up with some mind-boggling designs in the near future.
It’s also quite possible that the firm is only using the Mojo as a base to test various components for an upcoming electric bike. But rest assured, there is an all-new electric bike coming from the homegrown manufacturer soon, what with the country set to go green in the next two decades.

Mahindra MOJO XT 300 User Reviews
I like my Mojo bike because of its aggressive look and style. it's a rare bike to see in public. The cons of the bike are that it is very heavy so for those who want to lean in the corners it is not a good option for you other than that it's a perfect mixture of Touring, Cruiser, and Sportbike.Read More
Nice bike and it has a powerful engine
It's an amazing bike with a huge fuel tank of 21 litres and Pirelli tyres provide very well on road grip even in wet conditions. I have driven this bike for 35000 kilometres and it still performs like a new bike. It is a very powerful bike and great for highway touring. The service and maintenance cost is very low.Read More
Mojo is one of the most underrated bikes in the touring segment that suffered kindof 'step behavior' from the company. Being ridden it for almost 17k in a year, the only issue faced to date is lesser service center across North India. The bike is undoubtedly one of the best manufactures in India. The color variants are really cool. High ground clearance, Pirelli stock tyres( would recommend upgrading to Scorpion STR ) are really helpful, making it both a city street bike as well as a worthy off-roader. It goes easily on any type of road. Only of Mahindra would lay some more focus over it, the bike is a hidden gem from the public. Read More
Wicked looking bike few may like and few may hate, riding comfort is really good, the engine is very refined compared to many Indian bikes available in the market, I can say the best-refined engine. The drawback would be the breaks and no ABS, most of the weight is on the front end of the bike. Torque and power are good, awesome to cruise on highways (120 to 130 km's) without strain. Mahindra needs to market the bike properly. Read More
