Most of us have never heard of Pursang Motorcycles, but the Spanish brand has been around since 1967. However, it was a short stint of just 17 years before the company had to shut shop. That said, Pursang Motorcycles has now made its way back into the electric two-wheeler fray thanks to visionary Jim Palau-Ribes. And the first product to be offered from the company is the E-Track, an urban scrambler that features carbon-fibre components and a Bosch electric motor.
According to the brand, the E-Track will have a limited run of just 24 units for the first batch. Each motorcycle will come finished with carbon-fibre bodywork. It’s powered by an 11kW Bosch electric motor that offers a top speed of 120 kmph which puts it on par with ICE-powered 150-160cc motorcycles in India.
The E-Track features three non-removable battery packs that deliver a claimed range of 140km which should be more than enough for your daily runabouts. What isn’t clear is at what speeds the E-Track can deliver this result. The bike even gets a full-colour TFT display with control cubes on the left-hand side switchgear which means it could come with different power modes. Other notable features include LED lights all around and spoked wheels wrapped in dual-purpose tyres.
In terms of hardware, the E-Track comes equipped with an upside-down fork, a monoshock, and petal disc brakes at both ends. It weighs in at 147kg kerb, which is on the heavier side for an electric motorcycle. As for its price, the Pursang E-Track will set you back by €13,700, which is equivalent to a jaw-dropping Rs 11.76 lakh in India.
