II. Core Technology and Engineering Excellence
The n-First’s true distinction lies beneath its sleek surface, where cutting-edge technology ensures safety, durability, and smooth performance.
Advanced Powertrain
At its core, the n-First is engineered for efficiency and performance:
- Motor: The vehicle is powered by a PMSM mid-drive motor with chain transmission, delivering smooth acceleration and high energy efficiency.
- The base and mid-variants (Max, i-Max) feature a 1.8 kW peak motor.
- The top-variant (i-Max+) is equipped with a 2.5 kW peak motor.

- IP Rating: The battery pack is rated IP67 for durability, making it dust-proof and water-resistant.
Range and Charging Specifications
The variants are distinguished by their battery capacity and resultant range:
| Variant | Battery Capacity | Certified IDC Range | Charging Time (0-100%) | Motor Peak Power | Max Speed |
| i-Max+ (Top) | 3 kWh | 109 km | 7–8 hours | 2.5 kW | 70 km/h |
| Max / i-Max | 2.5 kWh | Up to 91 km | 5–6 hours | 1.8 kW | 55 km/h |
The certified IDC range of 109 kilometers on the top variant ensures freedom from range anxiety for daily urban commutes.
III. Sleek, Smart, and Safe: Stability and Connectivity
The n-First is not just a high-tech EV; it is designed to offer a superior and secure riding experience that bridges the gap between a motorcycle and a scooter.
Bike-like Stability and Handling
A major hardware differentiator is the inclusion of 16-inch wheels. These larger wheels are highly unusual in the conventional scooter market and provide superior balance, enhanced control, and stability that feels much closer to a motorcycle than a traditional scooter.
- Weight: The Max and i-Max variants have a low kerb weight of 112 kg, while the i-Max+ is slightly heavier at 117 kg.
- Suspension and Brakes: It features a Telescopic Hydraulic front suspension and Adjustable Dual Shock rear suspension. All variants feature drum brakes on both ends with a Combined Braking System (CBS).
Intelligent Connectivity and Security
The n-First is fully equipped with an advanced IoT platform and a companion mobile application, offering riders a comprehensive host of safety and convenience features.
- Security: Key features include theft and tow detection for instant alerts, remote locking, and geo-fencing. The system also tracks the live location and last parked status of the vehicle.
- Ride Management: Users receive data-backed ride insights and trip history for smarter usage.
- Safety Assurance: The platform includes an advanced thermal management system and a LIMP mode for controlled speed during unexpected faults.
- Continuous Updates: The vehicle supports over-the-air (OTA) updates for continuous performance optimization.
Practicality and Convenience
The vehicle integrates several features for everyday urban commuting:
- Display: It gets a simple LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity (for i-Max and i-Max+).
- Navigation: A massive universal phone holder is included, along with an integrated charging port, allowing riders to use their smartphone for navigation and keep it charged on the go.
- Ergonomics: It features an extra-long seat for superior comfort and a Reverse Mode for effortless parking and stress-free handling.
IV. Testing, Manufacturing, and Corporate Strength
The n-First’s durability promise is backed by rigorous testing and a robust, indigenous manufacturing base.
Extreme Condition Testing
The n-First platform is built on a foundation of durability, having undergone rigorous testing in India’s most extreme and diverse conditions:
- Testing locations included the scorching heat of Jaisalmer and the harsh cold of Manali.
- The platform was also extensively tested through typical stop-and-go city riding conditions.
This development strategy ensures that the n-First is performance-ready and durable enough for varying Indian terrains and climates.
Manufacturing and IP Leadership
Numeros Motors, founded in 2020 by Shreyas Shibulal, operates a 16-acre state-of-the-art facility in Narasapura near Bengaluru, with an annual production capacity of 70,000 units.
