A fresh electric scooter just rolled out in India, and it’s turning heads for all the right reasons. This bad boy promises a whopping 250 km on a single charge, and the sticker price? Only Rs 39,999. Yeah, you read that right – it’s like the company heard our prayers for something cheap and reliable. No more sweating over fuel stations or choking on exhaust fumes. Plus, you can skip the shady middlemen and chat straight with dealers for the best deals.
Design
Looks-wise, this electric wonder keeps it practical and no-fuss. The frame is a simple steel chassis that’s tough enough for Indian roads but light at around 85 kg – easy to maneuver even for shorter riders. It comes in a matte black base color with pops of red accents, giving it a street-smart vibe without screaming “look at me.” The seat is wide and cushy for two-up rides, and there’s a decent 20-liter under-seat storage for your helmet or backpack. Wheels are 10-inch alloys on higher trims, wrapped in tubeless tires that grip wet streets okay. It’s not flashy like those premium EVs, but that’s the point – it’s built for real life, not Instagram poses. Foldable handlebars make parking a breeze in tight apartments.
Features
Don’t let the low price fool you; this scooter’s loaded with essentials that matter. You get drum brakes front and rear for reliable stops, plus a basic LED headlamp that lights up dark alleys bright. There’s a digital display showing speed, battery level, and trip distance – nothing fancy, but it tells you what you need. A USB port keeps your phone alive during long hauls, and the kickstand has a self-retract feature to avoid wobbles. Safety bits include a side-stand alarm and anti-theft immobilizer. For families, the grab rail is sturdy, and the floorboard is flat for foot comfort. It’s not packed with bells and whistles, but every feature feels thought-out for everyday hassle-free riding.
Smart Technology
Tech here is smart without overwhelming you. The battery management system (BMS) is the hero, optimizing charge to squeeze out that full 250 km and protect against overheat in summer scorches. Connect via a basic app for iOS or Android to track location, get low-battery alerts, or find nearby charging spots – super handy if you’re new to EVs. Over-the-air updates keep software fresh, fixing bugs remotely so you don’t visit a garage. No voice commands or AI gimmicks, just reliable basics like geo-fencing to buzz your phone if it wanders off. It’s tech that works in the background, letting you focus on the road.
Price
At Rs 39,999 ex-showroom, this is a steal in a market full of overpriced EVs. The base Gig model gets you the essentials, while the Gig+ variant bumps up to Rs 49,999 with extras like better brakes. Add-ons like extended warranty or fast charger might tack on Rs 2,000-3,000, but dealers often bundle them. And here’s the kicker: Talk directly to authorized dealers through the company’s site or app – no commissions means potential discounts, zero-down EMIs starting at Rs 1,500/month, or free accessories. Available in major cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore; just punch in your pin code online to find one nearby.
