25 kmph top speed and tiny 250W motor are deal breakers. There are many better models from Hero electric with higher top speed, powerful motors and even slightly larger battery in similar price range.

I really wish Chinese, Taiwanese startups like NIU, Gogoro, etc... enter the Indian market sooner.

Yeah.. this looks good until you see the top speed. 45 kmph is the absolute minimum for any powered road going device.

I wonder that too why the large electric scooter companies aren't lining up to enter the largest two wheeler market there is?

On the flipside, I see 3 new electric scooter launches per day on an average from last few weeks. All of them look similar and the CEO types don't know much about the product they 'researched and developed' in the company they started in April 2019!

I think the target audience for this bike is different. Note that this bike does not require any Registration or License. I'm personally eyeing this bike for my wife's shopping chores who is not keen on getting a License or any RTO roundabouts. Its better than many premium e-bicycles available in the market today.
