Easy math to travel 212 km in ₹42

The biggest USP of this electric scooter is its minimal running cost. The scooter has an advanced capacity lithium-ion battery pack, which can be easily charged from a normal domestic 15 amp socket.

In this sense, the total cost of a single full charge comes to around ₹ 35 to ₹ 42, and as per the company’s claims, it is capable of covering a distance of up to 212 kilometers on Eco mode in a single charge. That means the journey per kilometer is completed in less than 20 to 25 paise.

This electric scooter has a modern digital instrument console, which provides accurate information about speed, battery level, trip meter and range.
