Most electric two-wheelers sold in India are assembled from somebody else’s parts. The battery comes from one supplier, the motor from another, the controller from a third — and the brand’s real engineering contribution is a sticker. An Ahmedabad company decided that was the wrong way to build an industry, and spent three years doing it the hard way instead.

The company is Samarth E-Mobility, a technology-first electric mobility company, and its answer is the Avore EX — a range of electric motorcycles launched in July 2026 whose nine critical systems, from battery pack to operating system, were engineered in-house in India. The flagship EX2S claims a 260 km IDC range, hits 114 km/h, and starts at ₹1.70 lakh ex-showroom — with bookings open at ₹799.

Built, not assembled

The EV technology stack behind Avore is the story here. According to the company, its engineers developed nine major components internally at their Ahmedabad R&D facility: the battery pack, a patented battery management system, the motor, the motor controller, the power control module, the DC-DC converter, an AI-controlled 1500W onboard fast charger, the instrument cluster, and a proprietary operating system. The battery pack has been homologated by NATRAX and the BMS tested and validated by ICAT — the country’s two principal automotive certification bodies.

That depth shows up in the engineering choices. The EX runs on a rare-earth-free permanent magnet synchronous motor — a deliberate move to cut dependence on imported magnet materials — feeding a company-first Drive Link Arm powertrain that integrates the motor directly into the swingarm for better weight distribution and handling. Peak output runs from 7.5 kW to 10.5 kW depending on the variant, with 250 Nm of wheel torque on tap across the range, and the company says the platform has survived over 51,000 km of real-world riding plus more than 3,400 km of torture testing.

Intelligence beyond motion

Avore’s tagline is “Intelligence Beyond Motion,” and the software layer is where it earns it. The bikes run the company’s AVORE SENSE operating system with AVA — Avore Vehicle Assistance — and an AI companion called Avore Synapse that tracks range, charging status, navigation and vehicle controls. The EX2S gets a 7-inch touchscreen cockpit with full-stack navigation, while SYFT mode splits the instant electric torque across four virtual gear ratios for riders who miss the feel of shifting.

The practical details are equally considered: the 1500W onboard charger plugs into any standard 5A/15A socket — 20% to 80% in about two hours, no installation — the IPU-X Shield battery architecture carries a five-year warranty, and the company says a full charge costs ₹20 to ₹40. Three variants cover the 125cc-to-200cc buyer: the EX1 (3.24 kWh, 160 km, ₹1.25 lakh), the EX2 (5 kWh, 255 km, ₹1.46 lakh) and the EX2S (5 kWh, 260 km, 114 km/h, ₹1.70 lakh). Backing it all is a 150,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility at Chhatral in Gujarat and over 110 intellectual property filings.

Unveiled by Gujarat’s chief minister at launch and now open for bookings nationwide, the EX is the first motorcycle to roll out of a company that spent three years building its technology before building its brand. If India’s EV industry is going to be more than an assembly business, this is what the alternative looks like.
