Toutche Electric, an electric mobility venture based in Mysore and Bangalore, has recently unveiled its new generation Heileo H100 electric bicycle in the country. Heileo H100 is an electric bicycle with a hybrid design and a 6061-aluminum alloy frame. It comes with a 250W rear hub motor and a detachable Li-ion battery and will be marketed at a price tag of INR 48,900 (around $657)

As per the company, the model will be available in two range options, 60km and 80km, based on the bicycle's pedal-assist mode. Feta white and spring green are the two-color variants available in the model at present.

The company claims that the H100 boasts a lightweight structure with 460 and 345 watt-hours of power.
