JAKARTA After contributing greatly to the success of Tesla's electric cars, especially Model 3 and Model Y, now Michael Spencer, a former Tesla executive has a new vision: presenting affordable electric motors for daily use.
Michael Spencer has now set up an electric vehicle startup named Zeno in Bengaluru, India.
Zeno's first creation was Emara, an electric motorcycle designed to prioritize function and accessibility. Instead of focusing on a luxury design, Emara comes with a simple but intelligent appearance behind her sturdy body.
Launching RideAwart, Monday, June 2, this emara is powered by a 4 kWh battery that drives an 8 kW motorbike (equivalent to 10.7 hp). With these specifications, Emara is claimed to be able to cover a distance of up to 100 km (62 miles) in real conditions and reaches a maximum speed of 95 km/hour (59 mph). This distance and speed is considered more than sufficient for daily mobility, especially in urban and semi-city areas. Interestingly, Emara is equipped with four driving modes that allow drivers to adjust their performance as needed.

Emara's main advantage lies in ownership and charging flexibility. Consumers can buy Emara and its battery at a price of 119,000 rupees or around Rp. 22.7 million (based on current exchange rates of around Rp. 191 per rupee). However, Zeno also offers a more attractive option, namely a battery subscription model. With this option, the initial price of the motorbike drops to just 79,000 rupees or around Rp. 15 million.
For the battery subscription model, Zeno offers several prepaid monthly payment options: 1,500 rupees for 48 kWh (equivalent to an estimated distance of 48 km per day) or 2,500 rupees for 120 kWh (equivalent to an estimated 120 km per day). In addition, users can also choose the pay option according to usage, which is 52 rupees per kWh.
With a very competitive price, Emara's electric motor has the potential to be an attractive choice for people who are looking for alternative environmentally friendly transportation for daily mobility.
