Gujarat-based electric vehicle start-up Avore Electric has unveiled a teaser film of its upcoming electric motorcycle, which it says will mark its formal entry into the high-growth mid-size electric two-wheeler segment.

The e-motorcycle, it says, is built around the core corporate philosophy of ‘Intelligence Beyond Motion’, which it claims is engineered entirely from the ground up on Avore’s indigenous, in-house technology platform.

The visual preview details a performance-oriented stance tailored for next-generation riders. The design language focuses on structural integration, moving away from traditional retro aesthetics toward a technical look.

Key styling and engineering elements highlighted in the promotional film include aerodynamically optimised fairings designed to minimise drag and manage thermal airflow around the battery enclosure. A unique front headlamp design that serves as the visual anchor for the motorcycle’s front fascia. Contrasting paint schemes that accentuate the sharp, aggressive geometric lines of the chassis.

The start-up says its upcoming e-motorcycle represents the culmination of years of domestic, in-house research and development. By utilising its proprietary technology platform, Avore Electric aims to establish a foothold in India's expanding mid-size premium motorcycle space before scaling its world-class electric mobility solutions to international markets.

The company is expected to give more details soon.
