The shift towards electric mobility is pretty ominous and so is the electric revolution in India, especially in the 2-wheeler mobility segment. There are new players jumping into the electric bandwagon on a regular basis and now, there are a slew of options in the 2-wheeler EV scheme, should you choose to buy one. One new entrant is the Odysee electric with its E2Go scooter.
More details
The E2Go electric scooter is available in 2 variants, one with a lead-acid battery, the E2Go and the E2Go lite with a Li-ion battery. The E2Go lite is priced at INR 63,999 ( ex-showroom, Ahmedabad ) while the standard E2Go is priced at INR 52,999 ( ex-showroom, Ahmedabad ).
The E2Go scooter is available in 5 colour schemes – Azure blue, Scarlet Red, Teal green, Midnight black, Matte black. This electric scooter can be ridden without a license, registration and even without insurance.
Specs
The E2Go is propelled by a 250 W, 60V BLDC waterproof motor which can successfully propel the scooter to speeds of 25 Kph. The only difference between the 2 trims, as aforesaid is the difference in battery set. The standard E2Go gets an 28AH lead-acid battery while the E2Go lite gets an 1.26 kWh Li-ion battery pack. The range on these scooters is around 60 Km. The lead-acid battery on the E2Go takes around 5 hours to recharge the juice completely. On the other hand, the Li-ion battery on the E2Go lite can be charged completely in 4 hours and is also detachable, implying that you can swap the batteries.
Odyssey has equipped the E2Go scooter with a pair of telescopic forks at the front and dual dual spring hydraulic shocks on the rear. It gets a disc brake upfront and a drum brake on the rear with both tyres being tubeless tyres. The scooters are available in 9 dealerships across the country. The E2Go electric scooter also gets a reverse gear function, three ride modes, LED speedometer, anti-theft motor locking, keyless entry, and USB charging.
