Road King RK70 Hybrid

Price and position

Road King lists the RK70 Hybrid at Rs 290,000 on its official website, making it the most expensive model in the current range. It is styled like the traditional 70cc motorcycles that are common across Pakistan.

Motor and battery

The official website has no specification sheet for the RK70 Hybrid. Askari Bank’s instalment portal, which sells the bike on Road King’s financing scheme, lists a 1200-watt motor and a 60V 34Ah lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery, a top speed of 80 km/h and a range of 80–100 km. It is the only current Road King model listed with a lithium iron phosphate battery rather than graphene. PakWheels also lists a 70cc engine, a 9-litre fuel tank, 50 km/l and a 4-speed gearbox, but we could not confirm that a petrol engine is fitted, so ask the dealer exactly what the hybrid name means on this bike. Charging time is not published.

Size and practicality

Dimensions and weight are not published. PakWheels lists a 2.25-17 front tyre, the same size used on many 70cc commuters, which should make tyres easy to find. An 80 km/h top speed is enough for main roads and short intercity trips.

Equipment

There is a single version. The Askari listing gives drum brakes front and rear, and the bike comes in red and black.

Warranty

No warranty terms are published for the RK70 Hybrid on the official website. Ask the dealer for written battery and motor cover.

Which one to buy

There is only one version. In our opinion, the RK70 Hybrid is expensive next to the RK-100E, which costs Rs 75,000 less and has the same claimed top speed. It makes sense mainly if you specifically want the lithium iron phosphate battery or the classic 70cc look.
