I average 80 km per charge on Jaipur rider. It's pretty consistent year round but I do definitely notice a drop if I'm carrying a passenger or heavy loads.

No way! Bikes are not just bikes in Royal Enfield, it’s a culture. The VS01 may be efficient, but it will never replace the soul of a Bullet on the highway.

It's not about replacing, it's about living together. For shorter tours or rides in which charging is easy, the VS01 could be great. The Enfield still rules for those deep Himalayan adventures.

With better charging infrastructure I can see the VS01 becoming a real contender. The zero emissions and low running cost could be a game changer for budget conscious tourers.

The VS01 could actually help improve the touring experience by the virtue of it being silent. Can you picture yourself cruising down scenic routes and actually hearing nature, rather than engine noise?

Overnight, Royal Enfield can not replace its decades of touring heritage. If ABZO plays its cards right though, and builds a strong community, they could very well create their own touring culture.

Reliability will be the real test. If the VS01 can show itself to be as tough and reliable as an Enfield on long trips, it can win over a lot of skeptics.

I believe it’s about the type of touring. If you’re taking weekend getaways or if you just have a lot of charging stops on the way, then the VS01 could fit perfectly. Well for those month long expeditions to Ladakh? Enfield still wins.

In fact, the VS01’s instant torque might actually make it better for mountain roads. With no more worrying about being in the right gear for those hairpin bends.

It’s not just the bike, it’s the ecosystem. The aftermarket and a service center network are massive with Royal Enfield. To really compete, ABZO needs to build that kind of support system.

I’ve been an Enfield rider for a long time so the VS01 is piquing my curiosity. If they can work out their charging anxiety, it could be a great option for riders who want the cruisability of an old school bike without the headaches of maintenance.
Will ABZO VS01's battery performance fare up well in Indian extreme weather conditions?

The VS01 has ridden in Delhi summers and frankly did better than I expected. It did drop a bit from the range, but not much. The bike has some decent thermal management.

The battery tech is changing very fast. Performance will suffer with extreme temps, but it’s not as bad as people make you think. And you don't have to worry about your engine overheating in traffic jams!
Will ABZO VS01's battery performance fare up well in Indian extreme weather conditions?
16 January 2025 11:30
I’m more worried about the long term. Yes, it may work fine now, but think about it in 2 or 3 years with no break from heat. That's the real test.
Will ABZO VS01's battery performance fare up well in Indian extreme weather conditions?
16 January 2025 11:30
As someone who's been riding in Ladakh, I am skeptical of how it will perform at these conditions. Battery life is also killed by cold, and you can’t afford to be stranded in those remote areas.
Will ABZO VS01's battery performance fare up well in Indian extreme weather conditions?

ABZO should be more transparent about what they are doing for thermal management. How does it compete with established players like Tesla? The serious riders need that kind of info.

People are overthinking this, I think. Not many riders are going to 100 mile days all the time. It will be fine for daily use in the normal Indian weather.
Will ABZO VS01's battery performance fare up well in Indian extreme weather conditions?

The real question though is how it compares to other electric bikes, not petrol ones. I've seen from what I have seen the VS01 seems to handle heat better than some of the cheaper Chinese imports.
Will ABZO VS01's battery performance fare up well in Indian extreme weather conditions?

For an engineer, I am impressed with their battery tech. Indian conditions seem well suited to cell spacing and the cooling system. It’s not perfect, and it’s far from it, but it’s a good start.

Realistically, petrol bikes don’t work in extreme conditions either. With the VS01 at least you’re not too concerned about your engine oil thinning out in the heat.
