Bengaluru: Ozotec, a prominent electric vehicle manufacturer, has recently introduced an e-scooter named ‘Bheem,’ boasting the longest range of 525 kilometres on a single full-charge battery. This achievement sets it apart from all other e-scooters available in India. The name ‘Bheem’ pays homage to the legendary hero from the Indian epic Mahabharata, symbolising the scooter’s strength and endurance.
Bharatan, the Founder CEO of Ozotec, stated, “Ozotec’s Bheem has been meticulously engineered to address the limitations of current electric two-wheelers. With its powerful 10 kWh battery, it offers an unmatched range of 525 km per charge, making it the perfect companion for long journeys. The robust trellis tubular frame structure ensures the vehicle’s durability, enabling it to conquer any terrain effortlessly. Moreover, the in-house manufactured 3 kW motor, with an IP67 rating, provides ample torque to handle various terrains. The IP67-rated battery pack, featuring an all-aluminum Pressure Die Cast (PDC) body, incorporates a smart Battery Management System (BMS) and advanced wire welding techniques, guaranteeing the highest level of safety available in the market.”
Catering to individuals from all walks of life, Bheem is equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and a mobile app, elevating the riding experience. The dashboard presents essential information such as GPS speed, trip meter, GPS navigation, document and media viewer, travel history, and other advanced features that align with current market demands.
The pricing of Bheem has been carefully calculated in accordance with the latest Fame-2 amendments, ensuring customers receive the most competitive prices in the market. The scooter is available in six variants, with ex-showroom prices ranging from Rs. 65,990/- to Rs. 1,99,990/- in Bengaluru, depending on the chosen variant.
Bharatan further elaborated, “We are based in Coimbatore, a city renowned for its quality motor and pump manufacturing as well as textiles. Ozotec was established with the vision of ‘innovation to serve society.’ Leveraging our over 20 years of experience in designing industrial control panels and motors, we possess extensive knowledge in control systems and motor design and manufacturing. Building on this expertise, we launched our first electric scooter, Flio, two years ago in five districts of Tamil Nadu, and we have already sold 6000 units.”
With more than 10 patent and trademark applications for Bheem, large-scale production is expected to commence in September, Bharatan added.
