More than 100 riders participated at the performance preview of the Mantis electric motorcycle

On November 10, Orxa Energies organised an exclusive performance preview of an advanced prototype of the Mantis at the Aruani Grid on the outskirts of Bengaluru. More than 100 professional, semi-professional and regular riders had a test of a brief first ride around the technical track.

The complete look of the bike was intentionally kept incomplete at the performance preview. More details, including the features and full specifications will be revealed at the India Bike Week in Goa on December 6-7, 2019.
