Launch Details
Atum Vader was launched by Hyderabad-based Atumobile in July 2022 as India’s first high-speed electric cafe racer. In 2025, it’s available in multiple variants like Atum Vader S, E, and X. Early buyers got a deal at ₹99,999 while current prices range from ₹1.08 lakh to ₹1.39 lakh (ex-showroom).
Design and Looks
It’s got vintage attitude with modern twists. The Vader has a low-slung frame, round LED headlamp, spoked 17-inch wheels and a sleek battery-housing tank. The digital display tucks in neatly, giving you essentials like speed, distance covered, battery level, and live navigation updates. The long, tapered seat nails the cafe racer look, though pillion comfort may be limited.
Riding Experience and Handling
Weighing between 100 and 125 kg, the Atum Vader offers a nimble, easygoing ride that suits everyday use. The front uses telescopic forks, while the rear gets twin gas-charged shocks that handle uneven roads with ease.With a wide handlebar setup and upright seating, you’re in control whether in traffic or open stretches. The drum brakes paired with the Combined Braking System offer dependable stopping power without overcomplicating things.
Performance
It runs on a BLDC motor delivering peak power in the range of 2.4 kW to 3.0 kW, based on the variant selected. Torque figures can go up to 140 Nm in some trims. Top speed is 65 km/h, making it city-friendly. In Eco mode, it gives a real-world range of over 100 km on a full charge. It also has riding modes like Eco, Drive, Sport and even Reverse, plus cruise control for easy cruising.
Price
For what it offers, the Atum Vader is reasonably priced. Prices start around ₹1.08 lakh for the Vader S variant, with the Vader X reaching up to ₹1.39 lakh depending on the configuration. Considering it’s styled like a full-sized motorcycle, it feels like a steal in a market full of compact electric scooters. And it’s made in a solar-powered, zero-emission facility which makes the whole package even more value-for-money.
Who’s it for
Urban youth, students and style-conscious commuters are its target audience. It’s for those who want a retro-style electric bike that’s affordable and low maintenance. For anyone who wants to stand out in a crowd of lookalike EVs, Vader is different.
