It takes 3-4 hours to get fully charged and offers a riding range of 100 km, as per the release.

The company also said its vehicle will be available for test rides from May 28 across multiple touchpoints in cities such as Pune, Nagpur, Gondia, Mumbai, Nanded, Kolhapur, Ichalkaranji, Ahmednagar, Surat, Bhavnagar, Adipur, and Kachh to begin with.

Customers will have the option to pre-book the e-scooter post-test ride at Rs 749.

The company said it is one of the few players in the country riding the electric mobility wave with its unique battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model that makes it more cost-effective and convenient for customers as compared to conventional scooters.
