River Indie Electric Scooter New Variant: What’s Updated?
The latest variant of the River Indie electric scooter is launched with an updated drive system. This e-scooter went official almost a year ago in the Indian market featuring a belt drive system which is used by most of the budget-segment e-scooters. However, now, the company has finally updated this e-scooter with a chain-drive system. This new setup is expected to be more reliable than the previous model.
Only the chain-drive setup has been added to the River Indie as an upgrade. The remaining powertrain still remains the same. The e-scooter still reliers on the same electric motor which churns out a power output of 8.9 bhp and a peak torque of 26 Nm.
Battery setup is also not changed and the e-scooter continues to make use of the same 4 kWh battery which is capable of producing 161 km range on a full charge. The River Indie will get its battery charged from 0- 80 percent within 5 hours using the 750W charger. The brand has clarified that this e-scooter also comes with fast charging support. The new variant of the Indie electric scooter has a top speed of 90 kmph which also remains unchanged.
