The Svitch CSR 762 e-bike features a 5-inch TFT display and the bike has five riding modes. First in class to have a 40 litre storage in front for a full face helmet. Svitch has started a campaign to gauge interest in their electric motorcycles. They plan to open dealerships in cities like Ahmedabad, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bangalore.
