Hop Electric has commenced deliveries of the Oxo electric motorcycle with Jaipur getting the first batch of vehicles. The manufacturer says it handed over 2,500 units to customers in the city and has garnered over 10,000 bookings since the launch earlier this year. Hop Electric says the Oxo has received over 50,000 interests since prices were announced two months ago.

Speaking about the beginning of deliveries, Rajneesh Singh, Chief Marketing Officer - Hop Electric said, “We are grateful to our customers who have welcomed our new offering, Hop Oxo high-speed electric motorcycle with open arms.

In addition to Jaipur, we will be starting deliveries in other states shortly - Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, West Bengal, to name a few."
