Needless to say, 'six years' sound too late especially considering the fact that a majority of the bike makers such as Triumph, Kawasaki etc. are already a step ahead in the EV race. Triumph has recently showcased the TE-1 electric super-naked concept and Kawasaki is rumoured to roll out its first all-electric bike by late-2021. It has also registered the 'E-Boost' name which is likely reserved for its electric offering. At the same time, companies such as Honda, KTM, Piaggio and Yamaha have all come together to sign an agreement to create a ‘swappable batteries consortium’. (More details here)

Sardarov has said that more research is required before rolling out a product fit for MV’s clientele. "We will start working on the electric products from next year onwards, but it’s going to be more of a study on how to get there," Sardarov explained in an interview given to MCN.
