Electric mobility is growing rapidly in India, and premium electric bikes are catching the attention of young riders. One such model is the Acer TC Max, an electric café racer that combines retro design with modern electric performance. If you’re looking for an EV motorcycle that looks stylish and still delivers practical range for city rides, the TC Max is worth exploring.
Design and Styling
The Acer TC Max stands out with its classic café racer design. It comes with a sleek fuel-tank-like cover, round LED headlamp, sporty clip-on handlebars, and retro-inspired bodywork. Despite being electric, it carries the feel of a traditional motorcycle, making it an attractive option for riders who love the café racer culture.
Available colour options include Orange, Yellow, Black, Gray, White, and Red, giving buyers plenty of choices to match their personality.
Battery and Performance
At the heart of the TC Max is a 3.24 kWh Polymer Lithium battery (72 V, 45 Ah) paired with a mid-mounted 72V BLDC motor. This combination produces a maximum power output of 5.1 kW, which is sufficient for city commuting and short highway stretches.
Range (true riding): 95 km on a single charge
Top Speed: 95 km/h
Charging Time: 4–5 hours (standard charger)
The performance figures make it suitable for daily urban rides, weekend trips, and college commuters who want a stylish yet economical option.
Comfort and Ride Quality
The TC Max is not just about looks. It comes with a USD Hydraulic Telescopic Fork at the front and a mid-mounted mono-shock at the rear, ensuring a stable and smooth ride.
Seat Height: 770 mm
Ground Clearance: 189 mm
Kerb Weight: 101 kg
Thanks to its lightweight build and balanced suspension, handling is easy even in tight traffic.
The bike is equipped with a Hydraulic Combined Braking System (CBS) for safer braking. The tyres are wide enough for grip and stability:
Front Tyre: 90/80-17
Rear Tyre: 120/70-17
Wheel Type: Alloy, Tubeless tyres
This setup provides good road grip and control, especially important for new riders entering the EV space.
While the TC Max keeps things simple, it does offer modern touches like:
LED Headlight & Tail Light
Digital Speedometer & Odometer
Trip Meter
Battery Level Indicator
It focuses more on riding experience rather than loading up with smart features, making it a good choice for riders who prefer motorcycles in their purest form.
Price and Who Should Buy It
The Acer TC Max is priced around ₹2.05 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
Ideal Buyers:
Young professionals looking for a stylish EV commuter
College students who want a trendy yet eco-friendly motorcycle
Retro bike lovers who appreciate café racer looks with modern electric tech
City commuters needing a balance of speed, comfort, and running economy
The Acer TC Max brings together style, performance, and electric mobility in one unique package. It’s not the longest-range EV bike in the market, but with its 95 km range, 95 km/h top speed, and premium retro design, it makes a strong case for riders who want something different.
