Creatara, an electric vehicle (EV) company founded by Vikas Gupta and Ringlarei Pamei from IIT Delhi, has introduced their revolutionary EV concepts, the VS4 and VM4, at IIT Delhi’s Research & Innovation Park. These cutting-edge vehicles redefine urban travel by combining safety, customization, and advanced technology.
The EV market in India is witnessing remarkable growth, with an annual growth rate exceeding 20%. According to the Economic Survey 2023, the domestic EV market in India is projected to achieve a staggering 49% CAGR between 2022 and 2030, with an estimated 10 million annual sales by 2030. The electric scooter and motorcycle market size is expected to reach USD 6,161 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 27.30% from USD 893 million in 2022.
Creatara’s entry into this booming market is influenced by rising fuel prices, environmental concerns, and government initiatives such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) scheme, which aims to achieve 30% electrification of India’s vehicle fleet by 2030. With the industry’s market size valued at over USD 1.18 billion in 2023 and projected growth of USD 2.92 billion by 2032, this is a perfect opportunity for Creatara to make its mark.
Addressing the safety concerns prevalent in the market, Creatara’s vehicles come equipped with unique features such as safe-start technology that requires a minimum rider weight to start the vehicle, ensuring unauthorized or unintentional acceleration is prevented. Additionally, efficient passive battery pack cooling reduces the risk of overheating. These safety features provide peace of mind to riders, according to the company.
Creatara’s India-centric designs are tailored to suit the diverse landscapes of the country, ensuring compatibility with various terrains and usage scenarios. The incorporation of state-of-the-art sensors and GPS tracking enhances rider safety and awareness, seamlessly integrating with the overall riding experience.
A key aspect of Creatara’s e-bike design is the modular vehicle platform, making it adaptable to various use cases. For instance, the recent Moto-Cross variant, VM4, is equipped with features such as high ground clearance, longer suspension travel, and purpose-built panels for navigating challenging terrains and hills.
Vikas Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO of Creatara, expressed their vision to revolutionize personal mobility for the next generation. Gupta stated, Our tailor-made electric two-wheelers are not just vehicles; they’re a statement of innovation, sustainability, and personalized freedom, designed to resonate with the dynamic lifestyle of today’s consumers.
Creatara’s indigenous designs are built from the ground-up, showcasing the seamless integration of form and function. The company offers unprecedented levels of customization and enhancement options to customers, setting them apart from others in the industry. Creatara’s commitment to meeting every rider’s unique preferences is reflected in their modular and customizable approach.
When it comes to performance, Creatara sets high standards with an impressive acceleration capability of 0 to 40 km/h in under 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 100 km/h. These statistics challenge the common misconception of compromised performance in EVs. The vehicles have a charging time of 4-5 hours and a range of 100 km on a single charge. Furthermore, Creatara’s proprietary Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) ensures stability and long-term durability.
Creatara’s entry into the Indian EV market with their innovative vehicle concepts, the VS4 and VM4, marks a significant milestone. With their focus on safety, customization, and advanced technology, Creatara aims to redefine urban travel, catering to the unique preferences of every rider. As India embraces the electric revolution, Creatara stands at the forefront, poised to make a lasting impact on the future of personal mobility.
