The 2026 Avore EX2S enters an aggressive electric two-wheeler market dominated by premium scooters like the Ather 450X and Ola S1 Pro. Built in Gujarat, the EX2S focuses on delivering full-size motorcycle ergonomics, a mid-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), and a simulated electronic gearbox at an ex-showroom price of ₹1,69,999.
1. Powertrain Architecture & 10.5 kW Motor Dynamics
At the heart of the EX2S is an IP67-rated 10.5 kW (14.1 horsepower) mid-drive PMSM motor. Delivering 65 Nm of torque directly through a 520 heavy-duty O-ring drive chain, the powertrain avoids the unsprung mass penalties of hub-motor architectures. In our closed-circuit VBOX acceleration testing, the bike clocked 0 to 40 km/h in 2.84 seconds and reached 60 km/h in 5.2 seconds, achieving a verified GPS top speed of 114 km/h.
Comparing acceleration curves against 200cc petrol streetfighters like the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and TVS Apache RTR 200, the electric EX2S delivers stronger low-end pull from 0 to 50 km/h before the petrol bikes catch up at high-RPM highway speeds.
2. Simulated 4-Speed Electronic Gearbox Mechanics
Rather than a continuously variable single-speed drive or a heavy mechanical multi-plate clutch, Avore engineered a simulated 4-speed electronic transmission. The foot shifter connects to Hall-effect digital position sensors on the motor controller:
- Gear 1 (Urban Crawl): Restricts motor RPM while allocating maximum initial torque for steep incline starting.
- Gear 2 (City Commute): Smooth 0 to 55 km/h throttle response tuned for stop-and-go urban flow.
- Gear 3 (Ring Road & Overtakes): Mid-range acceleration profile supporting rapid overtakes between 45 and 85 km/h.
- Gear 4 (Highway Cruise): Wide field-weakening profile allowing the motor to sustain 100+ km/h cruising with lower battery current draw.
During shifts, the motor controller injects a 40-millisecond torque interruption, providing the tactile feedback of a mechanical gear change without clutch wear or gearbox oil maintenance.
3. 5.0 kWh Battery Pack & Real-World Range Matrix
The fixed 5.0 kWh Lithium NMC battery pack is structurally integrated into the central steel chassis spine. While the official Indian Driving Cycle (IDC) rating claims 260 km, real-world road tests under varied riding conditions yield:
| Riding Condition | Average Speed | Real-World Range | Energy Consumption |
|---|---|---|---|
| City Eco Mode (Active Regen) | 35 – 45 km/h | 185 km | 27 Wh/km |
| Mixed City & Highway Commute | 50 – 65 km/h | 160 km | 31 Wh/km |
| Sustained Highway (Sport Mode) | 80 – 105 km/h | 130 km | 38.5 Wh/km |

4. Chassis, Inverted Suspension & CBS Braking
The EX2S rides on 37mm inverted (USD) front forks with 125mm travel and a rear preload-adjustable monoshock. The 157 kg kerb weight remains composed over mid-corner road ripples, aided by 110/70-17 front and 140/70-17 rear tubeless radial tires.
Braking is managed by a 280mm front disc with a twin-piston radial caliper and a 220mm rear disc. The Combined Braking System (CBS) distributes hydraulic pressure between axles, providing predictable 16-meter stops from 60 km/h.
