The world of electric scooters is fast expanding in India. This year will witness a slew of launches and this includes the rather large MUVI City from the house of EBikeGo as well. This is actually the European Torrot Muvi but will be made in India by EBikeGo. While there are no details available on the pricing front, company’s CEO recently posted updates on Linkedin. For the uninitiated, EBikeGo is an electric mobility company based out of Mumbai. The company has been providing rental e-bikes, battery charging infra and industry-related various EV products & services.
At first glance, the upcoming EBikeGo MUVI City does stand out from the usual crop of electric scooters in India. Like the recently launched Okinawa Okhi-90, this one too makes use of large wheels (16 inch size) and this indeed gives it good road presence and a sporty stance. It looks a lot like a large step thru and has minimal body panels to keep the overall weight as low as possible which helps in overall performance. Another unique feature is the use of two removable lithium-ion battery packs. These are stored under the seat of the scooter and can either be swapped with fully-charged packs at a battery swap station or can be charged at home using a standard plug point.
The company’s website claims that the MUVI City e-scooter will do 80km on a full charge and will hit a top speed of 70 km/h. Charging time for the batteries is 4-5 hours. The MUVI was originally designed in Europe and boasts of a robust yet lightweight chassis, an innovative rear shock absorber system and front hydraulic forks. EBikeGo claims all this provides the rider with impressive agility, easy handling & stability, thanks to its small size and height.
Further, the scooter comes with a 4″ LCD display, supports Bluetooth connectivity, offers remote diagnosis by APP – this allows direct communication with Business Intelligence Unit with GPRS data. There is no news on the launch time period or the pricing. However stay tuned to get more updates soon!
