Following the LPG crisis, petrol and diesel have also become a major problem in the country. Long queues are forming at petrol pumps, and fuel is unavailable at many locations. Without petrol, both four-wheelers and two-wheelers become useless. However, one effective solution to this problem is electric two-wheelers.
After LPG, the shortage of petrol and diesel has started impacting daily life. Long lines can be seen at fuel stations, while several pumps are running dry. In such a situation, electric two-wheelers are emerging as a practical alternative. In fact, many electric motorcycles in the Indian market now offer a range of 500 km or more. They require only electricity to run and have significantly lower maintenance costs. Here are 7 such electric motorcycles:
