Features & specs on offer
Both Hover 2.0 and Hover 2.0+ are very similar in design when compared to the original Hover. All three models run on a flat set of tyres with a minimalist design featuring no solid body panels except for the front and rear fenders. Like Hover, the new electric bikes are slow-speed bikes with maximum speeds of up to 25 kmph in each case.
While Hover 2.0 is powered by a 1.5kWh battery pack, Hover 2.0+ features a larger 1.8kWh battery. The former can travel up to 80 km on a full charge whereas the latter offers a range of 110 km on a full charge. The bikes have an acceleration capacity of 0-25 kmph in 3 seconds.
In terms of features, the electric bikes have been equipped with the latest technology, which comprises a Combination Switch, the latest instrument cluster and an improved locking mechanism. The company is also offering premium features like geo-fencing and an anti-theft alarm.
Both the newly launched versions are compatible with custom bike covers and latest mobile holders, which will be complimentary with Hover 2.0+, but sold as accessories for Hover 2.0. On the business front, Corrit will be opening three stores across Delhi NCR over the next three months.
