This allows them to create the perfect vehicle that meets their specific needs and fits their budget perfectly.
The platform offers a wide range of vehicle options, from a compact two-seater for everyday use to a cargo bike for delivery professionals. Customers have the freedom to select the best solution that fits their specific requirements.
In addition to the configurations provided by the company, the bike’s open source engineering concept allows for third parties such as aftermarket suppliers, companies with unique needs, or individuals with a love for motorcycle design to create their own add-ons and share them with other members in the Gavares Motorcycles community.
With its origins in the digital age of business, Gavares Motorcycles focuses on providing added value services through its e-commerce website and multi-layer mobile app. These innovative tools enhance the rider experience and can be customized for personal or professional use.
The motorcycles are built with a compact 3kW and 5.5kW powertrain designed by Btwice, which improves efficiency and reduces weight. The platform is also adaptable to different battery types for use in different regions and with various battery swapping networks. Its high-strength steel frame boasts an impressive load capacity, making it a formidable vehicle for navigating rough roads or challenging tasks…or even when driven by a tough driver.
The Lite motorcycle has been expertly crafted to meet the needs of various global markets. It was first intended for the competitive Indonesian market and will be released there in 2025. However, the company has already made plans to expand sales to other Asian countries and Europe, with ongoing discussions with potential business partners.
