The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Instant 62 Nm shove: 0 to 50 km/h in 2.6 seconds, quicker than most motorcycles in traffic
  • Underfloor battery keeps the centre of gravity low, so the 231 kg scooter handles like something far lighter
  • 10.25-inch split-screen TFT, Keyless Ride, eCall and an electric reverser are all standard
  • Side-loading, illuminated helmet compartment plus a ventilated USB-C phone bay
  • Optional 6.9 kW quick charger refills 0 to 80 percent in about 65 minutes
  • Real motorcycle hardware: twin 265 mm front discs and 15-inch cast wheels at both ends

Worth knowing

  • 130 km WMTC range makes it strictly a city scooter
  • Quick charger, ABS Pro, traction control, Dynamic mode and TPC all cost extra
  • On the standard 2.3 kW charger a full charge takes about 4 hours 20 minutes
  • At Rs 15.25 lakh plus it costs more than many big motorcycles
  • 231 kg kerb weight is a handful at parking speeds, though the reverser helps
