The Electa is One-Moto's third high-speed scooter after Commuta and Byka launched here in November.

The growing preference for electric two-wheelers in India has drawn many new players to the fray, and One-Moto is looking to make the most of the opportunities to take advantage of them. Shubhankar Chaudhry, CEO of One-Moto India says: "India welcomes the adoption of electric vehicles and we are focused on providing high quality products to motivate them. The idea is to launch high quality premium products and start distributing from major metropolitan cities ". We don’t just want to serve Indian customers on our motorcycles, but provide them with the full experience they had while running ICE engine vehicles."

While the Electa is currently the company's most expensive model, the Byka is priced at 1.80 lakh while the Commuta is the most affordable of the three at 1.30 lakh (all prices are ex showroom).
