Crown Spark

Motor and battery

The current Spark is powered by an 800-1200W multi-mode motor and a 64V 30Ah lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery. Crown quotes a top speed of 55-65 km/h and a range of about 50-70 km in eco mode, depending on load, speed and road conditions. Charging takes 3 to 4 hours with the supplied 60V 8A charger. Three riding modes let you choose between efficient cruising and a more responsive ride. Crown does not state the battery’s capacity in kWh.

Size and practicality

The Spark has a net weight of 72 kg and a rated load capacity of up to 150 kg, enough for a rider and passenger. Crown fits wide, deep-tread tyres that it says are designed for uneven roads and monsoon conditions, and there is a spacious under-seat compartment for a helmet or shopping. Rear mirrors and a rubber floor mat are supplied as attachments. Tyre sizes and dimensions are not given on the official page.

Equipment

There is one version. It comes with a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, an LED headlight, NFC unlock, three riding modes and under-seat storage. The official page offers it in blue, black and grey. The equipment list is simpler than on Crown’s Performance Series models; for example, there is no combined braking system, reverse mode or alarm listed.

Warranty

The battery has Crown’s 4-year or 48,000 km LFP warranty, and the motor and controller are covered for 3 years or 36,000 km on a repairable basis. Body parts are covered for 1 year or 12,000 km. All Crown electric bikes must be registered.

Charging and ownership

The Spark charges from a normal home socket in 3 to 4 hours, so it can be topped up overnight or during the working day. As with every Crown electric bike, registration is mandatory, and Crown’s dealers handle the paperwork. Installment plans are available through Crown’s partner banks and platforms, including MCB Bank and Meezan Bank.

Who should buy it

In our opinion, the Spark is a good value choice for riders who want a lithium battery and a respectable 55-65 km/h top speed without paying Performance Series prices. It is noticeably faster than the Rizz for Rs 50,000 more, and cheaper than the Fairy, although the Fairy adds a combined braking system, reverse and a top box. The Spark suits daily commuting of up to around 40-50 km. Note that Crown still lists an older graphene-battery Spark on a separate page at a lower price; make sure the dealer is quoting the LFP model if that is the one you want.
