It’s a highly efficient battery and gives 900 – 1000 charging cycles to its life. The replacement cost of the battery is ₹.15000/-. Although EMX has the same battery pack, but the charger you will get is a bit faster with 2.5A instead of a 2A standard one.

Wheels And Suspension:

The new EMX comes with a pair of CST JACK RABBIT 27.5” x 1.95” MTB tires. The tires are great in terms of quality and perform well on most of the terrains. 1.95” tires are great for a faster-rolling resistance and able to provide adequate traction on both wet and dry surfaces.

The main highlighted feature of the bike is the suspension system. EMX is a full suspension electric cycle, in the rear, there is a mono-shock absorber that helps to reduce rear jerks, and keeps the rear wheel connected more stably, and allowing better traction during climbs. Whereas, in the front, it has a 100mm suspension by Suntour(XCT) which is a premium quality suspension that absorbs shocks during such rough patches and helps the rider maintain speed and gain control.

Gears And Brakes:

EMX has 21-speed gears system backed by a Tourney derailleur. The 21-speed gears will give freedom to riders to tweak the speed as per the terrains’ condition. Even If you run out of battery in the middle of your journey then this multi-speed gears system will help you to reach your destination easily and effortlessly. Even it helps to climb steep very easily.

For the brakes, there are few changes can be seen on the new EMX. It has the same 160mm dual mechanical disc brakes but with better brake calipers.
