New Delhi, Jan. 14: Two-wheeler makers in the country are keen on electric bikes.

These bikes run on electricity that is derived from batteries recharged from electrical outlets.

With soaring fuel prices, firms expect a good demand for such bikes.

To win converts, manufacturers are also spicing up their offerings.

Take TVS Motors’ concept vehicle X-Fossil — which can move at speeds of 140 kilometres per hour and go from zero to 100 in just 3.2 seconds.

X-Fossil is loaded with high-tech components and coloured white.
