10 Quick Facts About Tork T6X

1) Made in India - A proud moment for all the Indian citizens, the Tork T6X is purely designed and developed in India. The components are purely localized and the only imported component is the Li-ion battery. This also helped in keeping the costs considerably low for the T6X and would further help when it would come to servicing and maintenance of the bike. 2) Purely Electric - Tork has made the T6X with an intention to leave the dependency on fossil fuels. Unlike modern hybrids with regeneration and start-stop systems, the Tork T6X carries an electric motor and runs continuously over the electric power only. It uses a Brushless DC 6KW motor and a lithium ion 72 Ah battery. 3) Surprisingly Great Performance - The Tork T6X has an impressive performance with its low 130 kg of weight and 27 Nm of torque available from the idle stage. You can imagine a Ninja 300 producing the same at 10,000 rpm and weighing around 50 kg more than this one while it does the same from the start only. A claimed top speed of 100 kph is again the best you can have for an electric city bike.

The battery even has a life cycle of around 1000 cycles (1,00,000 km). 5) 4.3-inch Touchscreen Console - LCDs are offered in most of the modern motorcycles but this one is a bit different from others. Offered with touch support and navigation, the 4.3-inch unit in the Tork T6X is a modern smartphone connected to your bike. It helps in cloud connection and many other utility tasks for the bike. 6) IP67 Water and Dust Proof Components - The components on the T6X, which primarily include the battery, motor, and even its touchscreen instrument console are waterproof and dustproof with IP67 ratings.
