Thoughts On Yatri Motorcycles' Project Zero Electric Motorcycle

The performance and specs offered by the Yatri Project Zero is definitely impressive by EV standards. The price though, definitely isn't impressive even by EV standards. Some of the other brilliant motorcycles that can be bought within the Rs 12.85 lakh mark are, Triumph Street Triple RS, Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R, Honda CBR650R, etc. Would you want to buy an electric motorcycle with a fraction of the performance for a higher price than these, is the question to be asked.
