Which Virtus Alpha Is Right for You? A Guide for Women Riders

Not every rider wants the same thing from an electric cycle. Some want the easiest possible ride, on and off without a second thought. Others want more range, more control, or a battery they can carry inside to charge. Here's how the Alpha range breaks down, so you can pick the one that actually fits you.

If ease of getting on and off matters most: Alpha A 26

The step-through frame means no swinging a leg over a high bar, genuinely easier in a saree, a salwar suit, or office wear. It's 20 kg, has a 250W motor, and covers up to 60 km on pedal assist. Price: ₹28,068.

If you want a removable battery: Alpha M 26 or M 27.5

Both let you pull the battery out and charge it indoors instead of parking near a plug, useful if you don't have reliable parking near an outlet. They ride on a sportier diamond frame with a built-in headlight and horn. M 26: ₹32,052. M 27.5: ₹32,268 (same build, bigger wheels).

If you want the lightest option at the lowest price: Alpha K 24

Smaller 24-inch wheels, single-level pedal assist, the simplest ride in the range. Good for shorter frames or a first-ever electric cycle. ₹26,669.
