Transportation across the globe continually faces a number of challenges, from congestion, air pollution and emissions, more rigorous regulations, equity, and accessibility, to name just a few. Fortunately, companies like Tau Lotus Inc. are addressing a number of issues, including safety, sustainability, affordability, and user convenience, with their latest in two-wheel alternative energy vehicles (AEVs). Founded by Vasu Ayithi and Abraham Sarraf, Tau Lotus presents a unique high-tech solution through Wolfhound^TM Motors branding for the emerging middle class in rapidly developing economies.

The global two-wheeler industry currently presents a substantial gap that Tau Lotus endeavors to fill. With more than half of the world's population residing in just a few countries, particularly in the ASEAN region, the market for two-wheelers is vast, estimated at a staggering $263 billion.

Furthermore, with the increasing transition from conventional internal combustion engines to electric vehicles (EVs), a significant market opportunity worth $63 billion is growing at a remarkable Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 37%.

Ayithi shares, "With our Wolfhound^TMMotors, we have the greatest technology. We are embedding safety and security into the product as well as personal lifestyle features that do not exist in conventional vehicles or in the current vehicles that are out there already. We aim to capture a share of this transitioning market. We are optimistic that we could get from 100 million to a quarter billion over the next five to eight years. It will be an amazing journey."

Tao Lotus' strategy, Ayithi explains, is to penetrate the market by focusing on countries actively transitioning to EVs. Through meticulous market analysis, they have identified regions where regulatory policies and incentives drive the shift toward alternative energy vehicles. "By leveraging existing EV technologies and partnering with established players in the industry, we aim to scale our products and establish a strong brand presence in these transitioning markets," shares Sarraf.

Ayithi adds, "The development that's been there for more than a decade, we're taking that technology, we're adapting it to our style, to our technology integration. We intend to strategically enter specific markets by identifying their unique characteristics, demands, and trends. Once we have a clear understanding of these market dynamics, we will introduce our motorbikes into those markets through sales and service. That's our plan."

Sarraf also emphasizes the company's commitment to affordability without compromising on their two-wheeled electric vehicle style and safety. Drawing parallels to Tesla's innovation in the automobile industry, Tau Lotus aims to create the "Tesla of bikes"—high-tech, connected, and safe, yet accessible to a broader demographic. "It will be more like a Volkswagen in affordability for people who cannot buy a car." Tau Lotus, priced at $5000.00 USD, targets the emerging middle class in countries like India, where a growing population seeks affordable yet technologically advanced transportation solutions. "We provide an alternate type of vehicle to transport their family, which is a bigger-sized motorcycle with all the technology available, like cameras around them and shows up on the TFT screen in front of their faces. They can connect their phone, too."

Their motorbikes offer not only cutting-edge technology but also address the issue of the range that comes with electric vehicles by adding innovative charging options. Sarraf explains, "Most of the electric motorcycles in the world are scooters. Simple motorcycles that are used to deliver your pizza or for in-city driving at 25 miles an hour. They have a range of 40 miles. Our motorbike is actually designed to be on the road where people can go from town to town without having to charge again. They can go 120 miles an hour and run for about 3 hours. Then, they can swap out the batteries. They have three ways of charging the bike: one is a standard plug that they use at Costco or a hotel for fast rapid charging; they can plug into their 110 / 220 voltage wall outlet at home, or they can swap out three batteries that are part of the motorbike."

Globally Built

Ayithi shares, "This is a global bike. It was basically designed in Germany and was built in the UK. The parts are from all over the world: the US, Japan and China. We're going to create an assembly plant and manufacture what is unique into the chassis or the wheels to give it our own flavor/design."

Ayithi and Sarraf have a clear focus. With Tau Lotus Inc.'s Motorcycles/AEVs, they are shaking up the transportation sector with a high-tech, safe, mid-sized, long-range, sustainable, and affordable option. Wow, say that three times fast. The point is, their motorbike has a lot going for it at a price tag that is unbelievable. They are launching in one of the largest motorbike markets in the world; who doesn't want to be a part of that?
