Analysis
Looking at the price and what this bike can do, it doesn’t really fit well here. Almost 1 million rupees for a bike that’s supposed to carry stuff? That’s a bit much for us. It can only handle up to 60 kg, which isn’t a lot. And guess what? There are some cheaper 3-wheelers that can carry way more stuff. Even if we look at regular e-bikes or e-scooters, this one’s price just doesn’t seem fit for the local market.
According to various reports, it looks like this e-scooter is just here for testing and will be offered to some food delivery and courier services. However, it might not be the best fit for even these companies as well. The main issue is the cost these businesses would have to bear just to get these e-scooters. So, we’ll have to wait and see how this electric scooter performs in the real world for businesses. Let’s see if the company decides to officially sell it in the market.
