Nexzu Storm Rider
The Nexzu Storm Rider is a fat-tyre electric cycle built for rough city streets, gravel and light off-road use, priced at Rs 46,999 ex-showroom, with a manufacturer-claimed range of up to 60 km in pedal-assist eco mode. It's aimed at riders who want a rugged, throttle-equipped electric bicycle that shrugs off potholes and loose surfaces, more than someone chasing the lightest or fastest commute machine.
Is the Nexzu Storm Rider right for you?
Best for
- Riders on broken, gravelly or sandy routes who want 26x4 fat tyres and a heavy-duty steel frame that can take a beating
- Short-to-medium daily commutes, comfortably inside the claimed 60 km pedal-assist range with margin left for real-world loss
- Buyers who want both a throttle for twist-and-go riding and pedal-assist for range and easier climbing
- Anyone who prefers a simple, single-configuration purchase - one battery size, choice of three colours, no variant confusion
Think twice if
- Buyers wanting a light or foldable cycle to carry upstairs or on public transport - the fat tyres and steel frame add real weight, and it's harder to pedal unassisted once the battery is flat
- Riders planning to use throttle-only for most of the trip - throttle-only range is rated at just ~33 km, roughly half the pedal-assist claimed figure
- Anyone who wants hydraulic disc brakes - the Storm Rider comes with mechanical discs only
- Shoppers who want multiple battery or motor options to pick from - Nexzu sells this as one fixed 36V 13Ah configuration
Available colours
3 exterior colours offered. Swatches are approximate on-screen representations, not official paint codes, and availability can vary by variant.
Variants, specs, on-road price and running cost
A pedal-assist e-cycle up to 250W and 25 km/h needs no RTO registration, road tax, licence or insurance in India, so the on-road price is the ex-showroom price. Throttle or higher-power models may need registration - check the variant spec.

Charging and living with it
Charging times vary by variant and charger; see each variant above. Most owners charge at home from a standard socket, and many packs are removable so you can carry the battery indoors to charge. Covered by an 18-month warranty on the battery and motor. Because the Storm Rider runs a 350W motor with a throttle option, it sits above the simple 250W pedal-assist-only exemption that lets plain e-cycles skip RTO registration, road tax, licence and insurance in India - confirm the applicable rule locally before assuming this one needs none of that paperwork.
Strengths
- Rugged 26x4 fat tyres and heavy-duty steel frame for rough terrain
- Stronger 350W rear hub motor and swappable 36V 13Ah pack
- Throttle plus pedal-assist, three colour options
- 18-month battery and motor warranty
Watch-outs
- 350W motor still capped at 25 km/h by regulation
- Throttle-only range low at ~33 km
- Fat-bike build heavier to pedal unassisted
- Mechanical (not hydraulic) disc brakes

FAQ
What's the real range of the Nexzu Storm Rider, not the claimed one?
Nexzu's 60 km figure is the company's own claim, almost certainly measured on pedal-assist eco mode with a lighter rider on flat, smooth roads - it isn't an ARAI or independent test, since e-cycles aren't ARAI-rated. On fat tyres over broken or sandy terrain, with a heavier rider or a higher assist level, expect real-world range to run meaningfully below 60 km. On throttle alone, Nexzu itself states only around 33 km.
Does the Storm Rider have a throttle, or is it pedal-assist only?
Both. It has a twist-and-go throttle for effortless riding plus pedal-assist for when you want to stretch the battery further or need extra push on inclines.
Will I need RTO registration, a driving licence or insurance to ride it?
In India, a simple 250W pedal-assist-only cycle with no throttle is exempt from RTO registration, road tax, licence and insurance. The Storm Rider's 350W motor and throttle option push it beyond that basic exemption, so don't assume it's automatically registration-free - check the current rule with your local RTO before riding it on public roads.
How long does the battery take to charge, and what will it cost to run?
Nexzu hasn't published an official charge time for this pack. The 36V 13Ah (468 Wh) battery is small enough that a full charge should cost only a few rupees of electricity, though you should budget a few hours on a standard charger to top it up fully.
Which variant should I buy?
There's only one to choose from: the 36V 13Ah battery pack, available in White, Red or Blue, all priced identically at Rs 46,999 ex-showroom - so the only real decision is colour.
