# River Indie electric scooter launched with 160 km range at ₹1.52 lakh 2026-10-14T01:35:25+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet River has launched the Indie electric scooter with a claimed IDC range of 160 km from its 4kWh IP67-rated lithium-ion battery. The motor delivers 6.7kW of peak power and 26Nm of torque, reaching 40 kmph from a standstill in 3.7 seconds and a top speed of 90 kmph. Three riding modes, Eco, Ride and Rush, adjust performance. The scooter offers 55 litres of total storage: a 43-litre underseat compartment and a 12-litre front glovebox. It also gets a six-inch colour display, USB charging, parking assistance and 14-inch alloy wheels. The ex-showroom price starts at ₹1.52 lakh. Charging from 0 to 80% takes five hours with a 750W charger or eight hours with a 480W unit. Five colours are available: Monsoon Blue, Summer Red, Spring Yellow, Winter White and Storm Grey. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The River Indie’s claimed 160 km IDC range and 55-litre storage target city commuters who find petrol scooters cramped and costly to run. But the test-cycle range will shrink in real traffic, and the 0 to 80% charge time of five to eight hours limits it to overnight home charging, not a quick top-up. Buyers weighing the ₹1.52 lakh ex-showroom price against a petrol scooter must factor in charging access and actual daily mileage, not the brochure figure. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in Details i.e. range, storage, price as features This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
