Let’s be clear: the Windone E2 isn’t a “facelift”—it’s a very specific kind of e-bike that Indians are increasingly searching for: a moped-style, fat-tyre electric bike that looks cool, rides plush, and can handle broken roads.
Windone E2 Electric Bike
- ✔ Motor Power (200W)
- ✔ Top Speed (40km/h)
- ✔ Best eBike in budget
Starting price in India (import route): listings show it around ₹1.18 lakh (price can vary with shipping + customs).
And that’s why the big question becomes: Is it worth the price tag? Or should you stick to Indian e-cycles that are simpler (and legal-hassle-free)?

4) EXTERIOR DESIGN & ROAD PRESENCE
The Windone E2 has that mini-moto silhouette—long seat, chunky stance, and fat tyres that instantly shout “off-road vibe” even if you’re just riding to the market.
What you’ll notice first
- Big fat tyres (20×4) give it a planted look and help on broken patches. WINDONE
- Hydraulic discs front + rear—this is a premium touch in the e-cycle world. WINDONE
- Large headlight + LED tail light improves night visibility (tail light works when headlight is on). WINDONE
Does it turn heads? Yes—mainly because most Indian e-cycles look like bicycles with a motor, while this one looks like a compact electric “machine”.

5) INTERIOR, COMFORT & FEATURES (Rider Area)
Think of this section as the “cabin experience” of an e-bike: seat comfort, riding position, controls, and daily usability.
Dashboard & Controls
You get a full-colour display that shows essentials like speed, distance and assist level. WINDONE
Also, it runs a half-twist throttle, which makes it feel scooter-like in city crawling. WINDONE
Comfort & Seating
This bike is clearly designed around comfort:
- The rear suspension setup is highlighted with a high load-capacity shock and a long seat length (~23.2 inches)—great for relaxed riding and even carrying a pillion on private roads (legality depends on your local rules). WINDONE
- “Pothole absorption” is genuinely a strong point here because it’s not just front suspension—there’s a dual shock absorption design mentioned as a core comfort feature. WINDONE
Feature checklist (what’s great / what’s missing)
Good stuff:
- Removable battery (charge it at home/office easily). WINDONE
- Hydraulic disc brakes (better bite + feel). WINDONE
- IPX rating for battery/bike adds peace of mind in Indian monsoons. WINDONE
Missing / watch-outs:
- No horn from the spec sheet—India traffic without a horn is… brave. WINDONE
- It’s heavy (import listings show ~31–32 kg), so carrying it upstairs is not fun. Ubuy Italy

6) MOTOR PERFORMANCE & DRIVING DYNAMICS (Real India Talk)
City ride (stop-go traffic)
In Indian city traffic, what matters is: how easy it is at low speeds.
- The half-twist throttle makes quick gaps and slow crawls simple. WINDONE
- The fat tyres plus cushy suspension mean the suspension absorbs potholes easily, especially compared to typical 700c/29er bicycles. WINDONE
But yes, the bulk is real—tight U-turns and narrow gali parking will demand some muscle.
Highway-like open roads (40–45 km/h zones)
Windone claims:
- 20 mph (throttle-only)
- 28 mph (PAS) WINDONE
That’s roughly 32 km/h and 45 km/h. At these speeds, the stance feels stable, but please don’t treat this as a highway vehicle. On Indian highways, even 60 km/h traffic will feel intimidating around you.
Suspension & ride quality
This is one of E2’s biggest selling points:
- 80mm suspension travel is specifically highlighted. WINDONE
- The site also calls out a front + rear dual shock absorption system for comfort and control. WINDONE
So if your commute includes potholes, broken tarmac, or village roads—this setup is exactly what you want.
7) SAFETY (Crucial Section)
Hardware safety
- Hydraulic disc brakes (front + rear) = confident stopping power in rain + loose gravel. WINDONE
- LED lighting helps visibility. WINDONE
- Water resistance: IPX5 (battery) + IPX4 (bike). WINDONE
The bigger safety topic: legality in India (don’t ignore this)
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: If your e-bike exceeds 25 km/h OR 250W, it’s treated as a high-speed electric vehicle and typically needs registration + license. Ather Energy+1
Now look at E2 again:
So on public roads, this may fall into the “registered” category depending on how it’s certified and your local enforcement. In simple words: check RTO compliance before you plan daily road use.
8) REAL WORLD “MILEAGE” (Range) — The Truth
ARAI Claimed Mileage
ARAI Claimed Mileage: Not applicable (ARAI mileage figures are used for cars/bikes; most e-cycles don’t get ARAI range labels).
So we use this format:
Brand-Claimed Range (Company claim)
- Max range: 46.6 miles (≈75 km) WINDONE
- The same page also mentions up to 28 miles on higher-speed riding, and up to 46.6 miles with PAS. WINDONE
Real-world range you can expect in India (practical estimate)
Based on typical conditions (rider weight 75–90 kg, mixed roads, some inclines, tyre pressure not perfect, real traffic stops), here’s what most riders will see:
| Condition | Expected Range (Real World) |
|---|---|
| City (Throttle-heavy) | ~ 25–40 km/charge |
| City (Mixed PAS + throttle) | ~ 40–60 km/charge |
| Open roads (steady speed, PAS) | ~ 50–70 km/charge |
Why it varies so much: speed, rider weight, tyre pressure, incline, wind, and how often you use throttle.
Charging cost (Indian context)
Battery is 624Wh (0.624 kWh). WINDONE
Even if you assume ₹8 per unit, a full charge is roughly ₹5. That’s why e-bikes feel “cheap to run” compared to petrol—your bigger cost is the purchase price.
9) THE COMPETITION (Auto-Selected Rivals)
Windone E2 vs ENGWE EP-2 Pro vs EMotorad Doodle V3
I’m picking these because they match the same buyer intent in India:
- ENGWE EP-2 Pro: similar “import performance” vibe, fat tyres, high-speed potential. Ubuy India
- EMotorad Doodle V3: popular India-sold foldable fat-tyre e-cycle with clear city usage focus. EMotorad+1
Comparison Table (Power / Features / Price)
| Bike | Motor/Speed | Claimed Range | Tyres/Brakes | Price (India) | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windone E2 | 500W (750W peak), 20 mph throttle / 28 mph PAS WINDONE | 46.6 miles (≈75 km) WINDONE | 20×4, hydraulic discs WINDONE | ~₹1.18L import listing Ubuy India | Comfort + performance |
| ENGWE EP-2 Pro | 750W class, 20×4 fat tyres Ubuy India | Import listings mention long range (varies by version) Ubuy India | Fat tyre, off-road capable | ₹94,435 shown on listing Ubuy India | Folding + performance |
| EMotorad Doodle V3 | City-legal style e-cycle, foldable EMotorad | Up to 45 km throttle / 60 km PAS EMotorad+1 | 20×4 fat tyres EMotorad | ₹69,999 EMotorad | Hassle-free India commute |
Winner (VFM)
- If you want plug-and-play India commuting with fewer legal headaches, Doodle V3 is the safer VFM bet. EMotorad+1
- If you want maximum performance and that mini-moto feel, Windone E2 is the more comfort-focused pick (hydraulic brakes + strong suspension story). WINDONE
- If you specifically want folding + performance import, ENGWE EP-2 Pro becomes tempting at the listed price. Ubuy India
10) FINAL VERDICT
So, is it worth the price tag?
If you’re importing it for private use, weekend rides, and rough-road comfort—yes, it delivers the “big bike feel” that most Indian e-cycles don’t.
Buy it if:
- You want comfort on bad roads (dual shock absorption + 80mm travel is a real advantage). WINDONE
- You want hydraulic disc brakes and a more premium hardware feel. WINDONE
- You want a moped-style e-bike stance with removable battery convenience. WINDONE
Skip it if:
- You want zero RTO tension—because power/speed crosses the common “non-registered” thresholds. Ather Energy+1
- You need something light to carry upstairs—this is a heavy machine by typical e-cycle standards. Ubuy Italy
- Your daily route is super crowded and you rely on a horn—the spec says no horn. WINDONE
Score: 8.1/10
(High for comfort + braking hardware; points deducted for India practicality + weight.)
11) FAQs (People Also Ask)
Q1) What is the Windone E2 on-road price in India?
There’s no official “on-road” because it’s mostly via import listings. A listing shows ~₹1.18 lakh, but your final landed cost depends on shipping, customs, and delivery timelines. Ubuy India
Q2) What’s the waiting period?
If imported, assume it depends on the seller and customs processing. For India-sold brands, delivery is faster; for import e-bikes, expect longer lead time.
Q3) Does Windone E2 have a removable battery?
Yes—624Wh (48V 13Ah) removable battery is clearly mentioned. WINDONE
Q4) What is the claimed top speed?
20 mph on throttle, 28 mph on pedal assist (PAS). WINDONE
Q5) Is license/registration required in India?
If an EV exceeds 25 km/h or 250W, it is generally treated as a high-speed motor vehicle needing registration/license. E2 crosses these thresholds on paper. Ather Energy+1
Q6) CNG option available?
No—this is a pure electric bicycle-style vehicle. No CNG.
