Emflux One (Upcoming)

Intro — The electric superbike conversation in India took a bold turn when Bengaluru-based Emflux Motors revealed the Emflux One at Auto Expo. It’s a compact, tech-forward sportbike that promises superbike looks, modern electronics and a claimed sprint from 0–100 km/h in about 3 seconds — a headline figure that put India on the EV sportbike map. Below I’ll walk you through what the Emflux One is, how it is built, and why the claims matter — with an image and a source for each topic so you can see what I’m talking about.

What is the Emflux One? (Quick snapshot)

Emflux One is Emflux Motors’ vision of an Indian-made electric superbike: sportbike silhouette, single-sided swingarm, aggressive tail and a rider-focused cockpit. It’s intended to be more than a concept — the team pitched it as a production-intent motorcycle built in India, aimed at buyers who want sports performance without petrol. The unveiling at Auto Expo and subsequent media coverage framed it as India’s first serious electric superbike push.

Performance claims: 0–100 km/h and top speed

The headliner is performance: Emflux claimed the One can hit 0–100 km/h in roughly 3.0 seconds, with a top speed around 200 km/h (124 mph). Those numbers place it in the “genuinely quick” category for electric bikes and set expectations that the package should feel like a small-displacement sportbike on steroids. As always, prototype figures can differ from real-world production results, but the claimed sprint time is what made headlines.

Powertrain, torque and weight (how it does it)

Under the bodywork Emflux quoted a liquid-cooled electric motor producing roughly the equivalent of 60–71 kW (~80–95 hp) and peak torque in the ~84 Nm region — while keeping the curb weight surprisingly low, roughly 169 kg in prototype spec. That combination of usable power, torque delivery of an electric motor and a light chassis is how the brand rationalizes the quick 0–100 claim. These are prototype/manufacturer figures, but they outline the target performance window.

Battery, range and charging realities

Emflux published a battery size around 9.7 kWh and quoted a city range near 200 km (real highway range will be lower). They also highlighted fast-charging compatibility — the company claimed a WARP fast charger could give a rapid 0–80% fill (advertised ~36 minutes to 80% in some reports). Practically, owners should expect a strong city range but plan for reduced range under hard riding; quick charging helps usability but public charger availability and standardization are still evolving in many cities.

Chassis, hardware and electronics (what’s on the spec sheet)

Emflux aimed high on components: Öhlins-style suspension, Brembo brakes, a single-sided trellis swingarm, and a rider-focused TFT touchscreen with connectivity features. Traction control, ABS and other rider aids were part of the talking points — the idea being that the ethical shift to electric shouldn’t mean losing sporty hardware. Those tech and hardware choices reinforce the “superbike” positioning instead of calling it a commuter EV with sporty looks.

Production timeline, pricing and where it fits in the market

Emflux initially talked about small-batch production and pilot deliveries, with media reporting target pricing in the neighborhood of INR 6 lakh for a base machine and higher for performance-trim models — though exact production timelines and pricing could shift. The market slot was clear: a premium-but-accessible electric sportbike for early adopters who want performance and standalone character. Expect availability and final price to depend on whether Emflux scaled manufacturing, supplier deals and homologation hurdles were cleared.

Should you be excited? Pros, cons, and the bigger picture

Pros: bold Indian engineering, real sportbike styling, strong claimed acceleration and modern electronics. Cons: prototype claims vs production reality, battery size vs range under hard use, and questions about service/parts network for a startup. Ultimately Emflux One was important not only as a product pitch but as a statement that Indian startups can target the high-performance EV niche — whether it becomes a mainstream seller or a halo product, it pushed the conversation forward. If Emflux delivers production machines close to the claims, this bike could be a watershed moment for performance EVs in India.

Wrap-up

The Emflux One attracted attention because it combined the aesthetic and hardware cues of a superbike with bold electric performance claims. For readers: watch for production-spec test rides and independent reviews before taking sprint and range claims at face value — but celebrate that a small Indian outfit attempted to build a genuine electric sportbike.
