After making a sparkling debut on the Indian shores at the ongoing Auto Expo with the Renegade range, UM Motorcycles India is now set to export the bikes made in the country. The company told a website that production of the first lot will soon be complete at its Uttarakhand factories and shipping out a certain amount of the stock is also a part of their plans.UM Motorcycles India chief Rajeev Mishra told NDTV that the first 1000 bikes could be delivered in May 2016, through 30 dealerships across India. Among a decently large network of dealerships, the company will set four shops in Delhi, while Mumbai will get three.While these bikes have been specifically designed for the Indian markets, they will also be exported to ‘a few European countries like UK and France’ along with certain South East Asian markets.UM Motorcycles has entered India as a joint venture with Lohia Auto. The 50:50 venture, called UML, has already invested about Rs 250 crore at its manufacturing plant. 
The brand with a five-pointed star launched its Renegade Commando, Renegade Classic, and Renegade Sport S motorcycles in India during the 2016 Auto Expo earlier this month. While the Renegade Commando is priced at Rs 1.59 lakhs, the Sport S will cost Rs 1.49 lakhs and the Renegade Classic will be the most expensive of the lot at Rs 1.69 lakh (all ex-showroom, New Delhi).All three bikes are powered by the same 278cc, air-cooled single cylinder engine producing 25PS of power and 22Nm of torque. While UM has identified a respectable potential for cruiser bikes in India, it currently has no plans to foray into sports bikes.
