Fewer machines have ever claimed what electric vehicles are doing now in terms of pure power and peak performance while contributing to a greener environment. Heavily rooted to the dynamics of traditional rides, electric scooters pack their own ‘zap’, which is making them popular among a multitude of two-wheeler lovers. And all for good reason too. If you haven’t zipped past the roads on these electric scooters, it is time to join the new era.
License and Registration, Please?
No more will you hear a policeman ever say that to you while you are one of our Electric Scooters. Most of them simply don’t require one. Just put the key and whoosh you go.
How long will it run?
Anyone transitioning from traditional fuel-based scooters to electric ones is always curious to know how far can it go. Our electric scooters can travel a distance from 40 to 100 miles, depending on the terrain. Groceries, office commutes, inter-city travels…all covered on a single charge.
Lightweight, Stylish, & Eco-Friendly
Simply slide the key and ride it like any ordinary two-wheel scooter. There are two immediate noticeable things when riding an electric scooter:
1. There is no noise.
2. There are absolutely low to no vibrations.
Smooth is the right word to describe them. Electric scooters are fashioned after neo-rides. They offer the same comfort, stylish exterior, exotic colours, and ride experience. With the added advantage of contributing to a greener tomorrow, as there is no fuel emission from them.
