Electric vehicle startup Emobi has revealed that its upcoming electric two-wheeler, AKX, will be powered by the e-Axle EV drive unit developed by Japanese mobility technology company Musashi Seimitsu Industry. Emobi said the AKX has been developed for the Indian electric mobility market with a focus on daily usability, efficiency and riding performance.
Second Emobi Model With Musashi e-Axle
The AKX is the second electric two-wheeler from Emobi to feature Musashi’s e-Axle technology. The company had earlier introduced the same system in the Kyari electric scooter, which was launched in November 2025. According to the company, the e-Axle unit is designed to support smoother acceleration, improved torque delivery and lower noise levels during operation.

About Musashi’s e-Axle Technology
Musashi stated that the e-Axle system has been developed using its experience in two-wheeler transmission systems. The unit integrates a proprietary reduction gear mechanism aimed at improving efficiency and acceleration performance in electric two-wheelers.
The company added that the system is intended to deliver performance levels comparable to internal combustion engine-powered two-wheelers in terms of acceleration and torque response.
Focus on India’s EV Two-Wheeler Market
India remains the world’s largest two-wheeler market, with electric vehicle adoption increasing across personal mobility and last-mile delivery segments. Manufacturers are continuing to introduce products aimed at urban commuting and commercial applications.
With the AKX, Emobi plans to expand its electric two-wheeler portfolio in the country. The company said its focus remains on developing EVs suited to Indian riding and operating conditions.
