About Blacksmith
Blacksmith Electric has been working and researching about the electric platform since 2003. In the past 15 years, they have build several prototypes and tested them so that the final product for the customer will be completely safe, comfortable and performant.
Their vehicles have been designed from scratch to be a 100% electric bike and not as an conventional bike retrofitted with an electric power train as it is done by most manufacturers in India.
Blacksmith: “We currently have a 3rd generation prototype vehicle which has clocked almost 7000 Kms on Indian roads and has been a crowd puller in many exhibitions. We are the only company in India to own the patent for the battery exchange (swap) Technology which was filled in 2006 before the Tesla cars were launched. Indian Patent Number – 262461”
