PURENERGY acronym stands for Power Using Renewable Energy and faithful its name ever since its genesis at IIT Hyderabad, the corporate has focused on enabling transition to sustainable energy sources. Energy storage technology has been a key area of experience for the corporate
etrance plus. The firm has executed hybrid solar storage projects for several prestigious business groups, Universities, Hospitals, Residential Communities, NGOs and Schools. the corporate management team brings significant experience from academia and energy industry.
The company made raid manufacturing of electrical two-wheeler under the brand “PURE EV” and high-performance Lithium batteries under the brand “PURE Lithium”. the corporate has been funded by visionary from Pharma industry Shri V C Nannapaneni. the corporate has setup a fanatical 40,000 sqft manufacturing unit and is ready to become one among the leading EV startups of India in times to come! the corporate is concentrated on building products that's beloved by the mass consumer and building a trustworthy name in EV and ESS business verticals.
Electric motorcycles and scooters are plug-in electric vehicles with two or three wheels. The electricity is stored on board during a rechargeable battery, which drives one or more electric motors.
Neo electric scooter (as distinct from motorcycles) have a step-through frame.
History
The early history of electrical motorcycles is somewhat unclear. On 19 September 1895, a application for an "electrical bicycle" was filed by Ogden Bolton Jr. of Canton Ohio. On 8 November of an equivalent year, another application for an "electric bicycle" was filed by Hosea W. Libbey of Boston.

At the Stanley Cycle Show in 1896 in London, England, bicycle manufacturer Humber exhibited an electrical bicycle-built-for-two
pure ev etrance plus. Powered by a bank of storage batteries, the motor was placed ahead of the rear wheel. Speed control was by a resistance placed across the handlebars. This electric bicycle was mainly intended for racetrack use.
The October 1911 issue of Popular Mechanics mentioned the introduction of an electrical motorcycle. It claimed to possess a variety of 75 miles (121 km) to 100 miles (160 km) per charge. The motorcycle had a three-speed controller, with speeds of 4 miles (6.4 km), 15 miles (24 km) and 35 miles (56 km) per hour
In 1919, Ransomes, Sims & Jefferies made a prototype electric motorcycle during which the batteries were fitted under the seat of the sidecar. albeit the vehicle was registered for road use, it never went past the trial stage.
In 1936, the Limelette brothers founded an electrical motorcycle company called Socovel (Société pour l’étude et la Construction de Véhicules Electriques or Company for research and manufacture of electrical vehicles) in Brussels. They continued production during the German occupation with their permission. thanks to fuel rationing, they found a point of success. But after the war, they switched to standard models. the electrical models remained available until 1948.
During war II, compelled by fuel rationing within the us , Merle Williams of Long Beach , California invented a two-wheeled electric motorcycle that towed a single-wheeled trailer. thanks to the recognition of the vehicle, Williams started making more such vehicles in his garage. In 1946, it led to the formation of the Marketeer Company (current-day ParCar Corp.).
1950 to 1980
In 1967, Karl Kordesch, working for Union Carbide, made a fuel cell/Nickel–cadmium battery hybrid electric motorcycle. it had been later replaced with a hydrazine cell , giving it a variety of 200 miles (320 km) per gallon and a top speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).
In the same year, a prototype electric motorcycle called the Papoose, was built by the Indian Motorcycle Company under the direction of Floyd Clymer.
In 1974, Auranthic Corp., alittle manufacturer in California, produced alittle motorcycle called the Charger. It had a 30 mph (48 km/h) and a 50 miles (80 km) range on a full charge.
In the early 1970s, Mike Corbin built a street-legal commuter electric motorcycle called the Corbin Electric. Later in 1974, Corbin, riding a motorbike called the fast Silver, set the electrical motorcycle speed record at 165.387 mph (266.165 km/h). The motorcycle used a 24-volt electric starter from a Douglas A-4B fighter plane. In 1975, Corbin built a battery-powered prototype street motorcycle called the town Bike. This motorcycle used A battery manufactured by Yardney Electric.
In June 1975, the primary Annual Alternative Vehicle Regatta was held at Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. The event was created and promoted by Charles McArthur, an environmentalist. On June 17, Corbin's motorcycle completed the 8 miles (13 km) uphill course in 26 minutes.
The 1980s to 2000s
In 1988, Ed Rannberg, who founded Eyeball Engineering, tested his electric drag motorcycle in Bonneville. In 1992, the January issue of Cycle World carried a piece of writing about Ed Rannberg's bike called the KawaSHOCKI. It could complete 1 / 4 mile (0.25 miles (400 m)) in 11–12 seconds.
In 1995, Electric Motorbike Inc. was founded by Scott Cronk and Rick Whisman in Santa Rosa, California. In 1996, EMB Lectra was built by Electric Motorbike Inc., which used a variable reluctance motor. It had a top speed of about 45 mph (72 km/h) and a variety of 35 miles (56 km). About 100 of those were built.
In 1996, the primary mass-produced
electric scooter, Peugeot Scoot'Elec, was released. It used Nickel-Cadmium batteries and a variety of 40 km (25 mi).
