Nexzu Stormboy
The Nexzu Stormboy is a fat-tyre e-cycle built for city streets and broken roads rather than serious off-roading, priced at Rs 37,999 (down from Rs 47,999) with a claimed 60 km range on pedal-assist. At just 20 kg it carries a swappable 468 Wh battery you can charge indoors, and it pairs a throttle with pedal-assist so you can choose between effortless riding and stretching every charge further.
Is the Nexzu Stormboy right for you?
Best for
- Riders who want a light, 20 kg fat-tyre e-cycle for city commutes and rough or pothole-heavy roads
- Buyers who prefer a swappable battery pack they can carry indoors to charge rather than plugging the whole cycle in
- Someone who wants both a throttle for effortless starts and pedal-assist to get closer to the claimed 60 km figure
- Short-to-medium daily rides where a conservative real-world range of roughly 30-40 km is genuinely enough
- First-time e-cycle buyers who want to skip RTO paperwork on a low-powered pedal-assist bike
Think twice if
- Commuters planning around the full claimed 60 km figure on a daily basis - throttle-only range is claimed at just ~45 km, and real-world riding (stop-start traffic, rider weight, fat tyres' extra rolling resistance) will run lower than either claimed number
- Riders who want rear or full suspension - the Stormboy only has front-fork suspension
- Anyone prioritising strong stopping power or all-weather braking feel - it uses mechanical, not hydraulic, disc brakes
- Hilly or loose-terrain riders wanting real torque - the 250-300W-class hub motor is on the lighter side for a fat-tyre bike's added rolling resistance
- Buyers who want a choice of battery size, frame colour or trim - Nexzu currently sells the Stormboy in a single 36V 13Ah variant only
Available colours

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. As a sub-300W pedal-assist e-cycle, the Stormboy generally falls outside the RTO registration, road tax, driving licence and insurance requirements that apply to e-scooters and mopeds - but since it also has a throttle, it's worth double-checking local rules rather than assuming zero paperwork everywhere. Running cost is genuinely low: the ~468 Wh battery is small enough that a full charge costs only a few rupees at typical home electricity rates, and being swappable, you can top it up indoors instead of needing a dedicated charging point.
Strengths
- Very light 20 kg with chunky 20x4 fat tyres for stability

- Throttle plus pedal-assist, up to 60 km pedelec range

Watch-outs

FAQ
What's the Nexzu Stormboy's real-world range, not just the claimed figure?
Nexzu claims up to 60 km on pedal-assist and about 45 km on throttle alone, but these are manufacturer figures, not ARAI-tested or independently verified numbers. In everyday riding, with traffic, rider weight and the fat tyres' extra drag, budget for noticeably less than both claimed figures, especially if you lean on the throttle.
Does the Stormboy have a throttle, or is it pedal-assist only?
Both. It has a throttle for effortless, no-pedalling starts and pedal-assist modes for when you want to extend range closer to the claimed 60 km figure. Using throttle more often will bring your range down toward the ~45 km claimed figure or lower.
Do I need RTO registration or a licence to ride the Stormboy?
Low-power pedal-assist e-cycles like this one are generally treated as bicycles in India, meaning no RTO registration, road tax, licence or insurance. That said, the Stormboy also has a throttle, and rules around throttle-equipped e-cycles can vary by state, so it's worth confirming locally before assuming there's no paperwork at all.
How long does it take to charge, and what does it cost per charge?
Nexzu hasn't published an official charge time for the Stormboy's pack. What we do know is the battery is a modest 468 Wh, which keeps running costs low - a full charge works out to only a few rupees at typical home electricity rates, far cheaper than fuel for an equivalent distance.
Which Stormboy variant should I buy?
There's only one to choose from: the 36V 13Ah battery version at Rs 37,999 (discounted from Rs 47,999). There's no separate battery size or trim decision to make - the real question is whether a light, fat-tyre e-cycle format suits your roads and riding style.
