Hyderabad-based start-up, Gravton Motors has announced that its upcoming electric bike Quanta has entered the Asia Book of Records. The company said that the Gravton Quanta electric bike completed the run from Kanyakumari to Khardung La in a record time of 164 hours and 30 minutes or 6.5 days. The K2K ride was achieved back in September 2021 with the team covering a distance of 4,011.9 km. During this period, the team did not stop in order to recharge the batteries and instead swapped the unit in order to complete the record in time. However, the company has not disclosed how many battery swaps it made during the course of the ride.
