National Energy Conservation Day: In recent years, the electric two-wheeler industry has evolved tremendously, marked by advancements in technology that are reshaping the riding experience. On the National Energy Conservation Day on December 14, Hari Kiran, Co-Founder and COO of eBikeGo, helps unravel these innovations that range from sophisticated digital displays to advanced connectivity features that are making electric motorcycles and scooters more performing, safe and connected.
State-of-The-Art Displays
Hari Kiran informs that instrument clusters on electric two-wheelers are undergoing a radical change and becoming more feature-rich and intelligent. "Apart from the basic speedometer and odometer, riders can now access additional information such as gear shift indicators, fuel efficiency metrics, and real-time mileage. Shifting to a comprehensive screen improves riders' knowledge about the vehicles’ state of operation thereby improving their rides," he enlightens.

Smart Helmet Technology
Beyond the automobile itself, the riding experience is in addition augmented by using the smart helmet technology. The Co-Founder and COO of eBikeGo opines, "Helmets with integrated communication systems, heads-up displays, and rearview cameras make a contribution to more advantageous protection and additionally to a greater connected and informed driving enjoyment."
Smart Connectivity:
Hari Kiran says the inclusion of sophisticated smartphone connectivity is one of the salient highlights in the development of electric two-wheelers. "Using Bluetooth compatible dashboards, riders get access to a range of additional features using their cell phones linked with bikes. Connectivity allows one to navigate, control music, and manage calls directly on the display screen, making it safer and convenient while riding," he adds.
Diverse Riding Modes
Another remarkable move in the electric two-wheeler landscape is the emergence of different riding modes. He says that the modes enable riders to customize their bikes according to the road conditions or one’s personal preferences, and informs, "These riding modes make it possible for the riders to optimize the performance of their electric two-wheeler and enhance the personalisation to make it fit for every kind of ride – whether navigating through urban cities or cruising on the highway, giving pleasure to every rider.
Lithium-Ion Battery Development
The heart of electric vehicles lies in their battery technology, and the industry has seen a significant shift towards lithium-ion batteries. These batteries, which accounted for about 80 percent of the market share in 2022, offer high power and efficiency in any size. "Advances in battery technology have boosted electric two-wheelers, making them affordable, appealing for passengers and resolving the range issue. The current energy density of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) and nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) batteries is already between 180 and 250 Wh/kg, respectively, which is capable of giving 80 to 120 kms per charge," he avers.
Cruise Control
For individuals who wish to have a pleasant highway experience, mid-sized electric motorcycles now frequently come equipped with the advanced mobility features. Kiran says that not only do these changes make it user friendly, but they also exhibit the flexibility and comfort that two-wheeled electric vehicles add to compete with their traditional counterparts and emerge as a User preference in the market.
Integration of Autonomous Riding Assistance
While fully autonomous motorcycles continue to be on the horizon, the concept of independent driving assistance is gaining momentum. Many companies are investing in technologies that help riders in maintaining, managing and ensuring protection on the road. This forward-looking approach showcases the industry’s commitment to enhancing both convenience and protection in electric powered transportation.
As electric powered two-wheelers continue to evolve, Hari Kiran opines that these smart functions are playing a pivotal role in shaping the future of linked commutes. "From superior digital displays to independent riding assistance, the industry is embracing innovation to offer riders a more enjoyable, safe, and technologically sophisticated riding experience," he sums up saying.
