The new electric scooter will be deployed for commercial applications and simultaneously will also be launched for private owners. While the details are still kept undercovers for the time, the company said that the upcoming e-scooter will be based on the existing technology but will be custom built to suit the commercial purpose requirements as per the market demand. It will also benefit from a sturdy frame in order to support the luggage carrying duties. The scooter will most likely take on the likes of the Hero Electric Nyx range which also takes aim at a similar range of audience.
The electric two-wheelers are experiencing a surge in demand, especially in commercial delivery applications. While the regular battery-powered scooters focus more on performance, design and rideability, the commercial purpose offering prioritise low acquisition and running costs, long-range and high load-carrying capacity.
