A particular electric scooter had been grabbing my attention due to its Vespa like looks. It sported attractive LED lights and blinkers which looked great during the rainy nights. I barely saw it standing still, hence couldn't make out the maker for months. Finally, spotted one and figured out it was an Elthor Bravo.

Recently I discovered that they had a small dealership in my town, Karkala and paid a visit today. The lady there was welcoming and quickly explained the features with the prominent ones being:

1. Portable batteries - while one battery comes by default, there is space for two of them in the box. Being removable ones, they can either be charged in place or inside the home.

2. Remote control - with car-like locking features and theft alarm.

3. Modes - the scooter has Sport (S), Sport+ (S+) modes which would understandably impact the range at the cost of better pickup.

4. Odometer - the console also shows battery charge status, a ready indicator and the current mode.

Specifications

Short Test Ride

I requested a short test drive and got a chance to ride it - my first electric vehicle ride.

I didn't even realize that the engine had started as there was neither sound nor vibration like IC scooter.
Took me few seconds to get used to the power - acceleration was fairly quick and disc brakes were strong too.
Like the upcoming Ola Electric, even this comes with a hump in the leg space. Not sure why this is a characteristic of electric scooters. I am sure not many would like that.

Quickly clicked a few pictures (apologies for not covering all angles)
