India's already a country that seems to be taking the electric revolution pretty seriously, with much of the country's next-gen automotive innovation focused on going electric. So, the Emara ADV does fit rather well within the broader industry narrative.

Zeno is headed by Michael Spencer, who contributed to the success of the Model 3 and Model Y and even played a role in Tesla's famed Supercharger network. Therefore, it's safe to assume that the accumulated knowledge of electric vehicle production and its scalability will be put to good use for Zeno.

It's based on the brand's earlier commuter model, the Emara, swapping a few components to give more rugged, off-road-ready chops for some light exploration.

I say light for two reasons. One: Range. You get barely 62 miles (around 100 km) on a single charge. And second, the 19-inch front wheels aren't bad, but in my opinion, 21 inchers would have really given it the credentials to go places.

But the company does at least counter that range anxiety by offering extendible battery storage on board. This lets you carry two spares on either side, where a traditional saddlebag would go.

But I have my reservations. Not only does that eat up your luggage storage space, but carrying the additional weight of two whole batteries seems overkill, especially for a bike equivalent to the 125cc class.

Speaking of which, let's talk specs: 10 kW (13.4 horsepower) peak power, a 62 mph (100 km/h) top speed, and upside-down front forks. That's all we know so far. Oh, and there's also LED lighting, Bluetooth with onboard navigation, and multiple USB ports for charging your devices. There are three decals you can get the ADV in – green, blue and yellow.

Not much to go on, I admit. But the Emara e-commuter on which the ADV spec is based on has much more info available. It boasts a slightly lower peak output of 8 kW (10.7 horsepower) compared to the ADV spec. It also comes with a 4-kWh battery, a stated 37 miles (60 km) of range, and tops out at 55 mph (88.5 km/h). A home charger powers it up in six hours, whereas a public station with a Type 6 plug gets that down to one and a half hours.
