The company sweetens the deal with enticing benefits, such as an 8-year warranty for the battery pack, a 3-year warranty on the motor controller, and a full metal body.
The global surge in EV enthusiasm is palpable, with India standing out for its impressive sales figures. Following the lead of the United States and China, India boasts one of the highest adoption rates of EVs. Against this backdrop, MX Moto’s M16 has captured the attention of EV enthusiasts, thanks to its compelling features. Let’s delve into the specifics of the MX Moto M16.

Crafted with a durable metal body, the M16 competes in a segment with minimal rivals, even within the Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) category. According to company representatives, the bike is well-suited for Indian conditions. Featuring distinctive elements such as a muscular tank, a round headlight with a small flyscreen, a single-piece seat designed with a classic step-up style, a broad handlebar, USD forks, dual rear shocks, 17-inch tires, and disc brakes on both wheels, the MX Moto M16 stands out in its class.
