The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
A 6.7 kW peak motor with 26 Nm gets the Indie from 0 to 40 km/h in 3.7 seconds in Rush mode and on to 90 km/h, which is properly quick for a scooter.
Storage is huge for a scooter: a 12 L lockable glovebox plus 43 L under the seat, with pannier stays on both sides, a bag hanger and grab-rail mounts.
14 inch alloy wheels, 200 mm discs at both ends with combined braking and adaptive regeneration, and IP67 protection for the motor and battery suit rough and rainy roads.
A 4 kWh battery claims 160 km on the IDC cycle, and River lists real-world figures of 110, 90 and 70 km in Eco, Ride and Rush, so you know what to expect.
Forward and reverse parking assist, front foot-pegs and an 18 degree gradeability make the Indie easy to live with, and it won Red Dot awards for concept (2024) and product design (2025).
Worth knowing
At Rs 1,54,499 to Rs 1,57,499 in Delhi after the PM E-Drive deduction it is one of the pricier scooters, and the faster 750 W charger costs Rs 3,000 more.
Real-world range drops to about 70 km if you ride in Rush mode all the time, against the 160 km IDC headline.
It is a big scooter: 1,996 mm long with a 787 mm seat, which is tall for shorter riders.
