Islamabad, Dec 6: Mode Mobility has introduced the C320 First Edition electric motorcycle, designed to address the limitations of foreign-sourced alternatives and offer a viable solution for urban commuters in Pakistan. The C-Series stands out as a locally engineered, sustainable, and cost-effective electric two-wheeler, marking a significant step in transforming Pakistan’s urban mobility landscape.
Key Features:
- Local Sourcing & Sustainable Manufacturing: The C320 is entirely designed and manufactured in Pakistan, showcasing the potential of local engineers and resources. Mode Mobility’s founders, with a background in automotive design and racing, created a product that combines functionality with local expertise.
- Power and Performance: The motorcycle is equipped with a 3kW hub motor, allowing it to reach speeds of up to 85 km/h, making it well-suited for navigating city traffic and handling inclines. The 80 km range ensures it can easily cover typical urban commutes, like the distance from Sea View to Malir Cantt in Karachi.
- Safety and Handling: Hydraulic disc brakes on both wheels, with 240mm rotors at the front and 220mm at the rear, provide excellent control. The tubular steel exo-skeleton frame adds rigidity and durability while simplifying maintenance, as it eliminates plastic body panels.
- Design for Accessibility: The step-through frame design makes the C320 accessible to a wider demographic, including women, by providing ease of access and comfort. Additionally, the open frame allows for extra storage, with options like a 35L bag for added cargo capacity.
- Affordable and Easy Maintenance: Mode Mobility emphasizes using locally sourced parts for high-wear components like wheels, tires, and brakes. This ensures cost-effective maintenance and sustainability, as these parts are readily available and easy to replace.
Impact on Urban Mobility:
The C320 is not just another electric motorcycle; it represents a step toward a cleaner, more efficient future for urban transportation in Pakistan. Mode Mobility’s approach of designing and producing a product specifically for the local market, using locally sourced materials and focusing on affordability, makes it a practical alternative to petrol motorcycles. By reducing dependence on imports, the C320 also helps to create local jobs and reduce the environmental impact of transportation.
With its lean production model and direct customer engagement, Mode Mobility is setting the stage for sustainable growth. The C-Series reflects the company’s vision of revolutionizing urban mobility with electric vehicles tailored to Pakistan’s unique needs.
