The UM Thor electric motorcycle is expected to lead the electric vehicle (EV) revolution in the country as there are hardly any major players in the electric two-wheeler segment. But with the UM Thor, many of the bigger brands are expected to launch their version of electric bikes in India.

Thoughts About The UM Thor Electric Bike

The revolution of electric vehicles has begun and UM Motorcycle is leading the pack in the cruiser segment with the unveiling of India's first electric cruiser. The UM Thor electric vehicle seems to be promising for the Indian market as well as for the environment. That said, UM has not been very successful in the Indian market and is witnessing average sales as not many are aware of the brand.

UM has to increase its brand awareness campaign in India to help bike buyers understand what it can offer in the cruiser segment which is affordable and practical.
