The Bondada T1 hits the market at an accessible ₹59,999, and it can take you 86 km on a single 30Ah LFP battery before the next full charge is needed. That’s a good stretch for daily commutes, and the price sits comfortably below the premium tier of current EVs.
Under the hood, the T1 packs a 600‑W BLDC hub motor that’s rated IP67, meaning it can handle a bit of rain and dust without fuss. The 51.1‑V battery, also IP67, sits in the chassis and keeps the kerb weight between 65 and 70 kg, so the bike can still juggle a 200‑kg payload—enough for a delivery rider or a small shop owner.
When you look at the competition, the T1’s 86‑km range outpaces Hero’s i20 (≈70 km) and matches Ather’s 450X (≈75 km), but it comes in at a fraction of the price. In a market where cost is king, the T1 could undercut both the budget Hero and the high‑end Ather, positioning itself as the middle‑ground choice for buyers who want performance without the premium tag.
Pre‑bookings are live on the joint venture’s digital portal, with the first units slated for Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu in November 2026. The launch platform was unveiled during a Dussehra curtain‑raiser, signalling a strategic push for the southern states where electric two‑wheelers are gaining traction.
