The scooter will be able to get completely charged in 4 hours. The company claims that the mileage of 100 km could be achieved after complete charging.

The company is likely to keep the price of the scooter on a slightly higher side because of it being an electric scooter. Media reports have claimed that the likely price of the scooter will be around Rs 90000. The company will be launching it in the standard model.
