River, a Bengaluru-based electric vehicle (EV) startup, has launched Indie, a revolutionary new scooter that combines practicality, capability, and style. Indie is the first product to be designed and developed in River’s R&D facility in Bengaluru and manufactured at the River Factory in the outskirts of the city.
Revolutionary New Design
Indie features a revolutionary new design that offers several never-before-seen features that expand the ways a scooter can be used. The scooter has 14-inch wheels, the first of their kind in any electric scooter being sold in India, offering a commanding riding position and great rideability and manoeuvrability on a variety of road conditions.
Large Storage
Indie boasts the largest storage in any scooter with a massive 43L under the seat storage and a 12L front glove box. The exclusive Lock & Load pannier-stays on the sides offer an array of customizations to serve different purposes and are a first of their kind on any type of scooter.
Distinct Look
The signature twin beam headlamps and a unique tail lamp design give the scooter a distinct look while ensuring maximum visibility on the road. The motorcycle-inspired clip-on handlebar provides better handling and stability. Indie also features “Safeguards”, another signature design element that protects the body panels in the event of a fall.
Comfortable Riding Position
The riding position is ergonomically designed to comfortably accommodate individuals of different heights. Indie has the longest and widest seat in the segment, ensuring uncompromising comfort. The front foot pegs, another first of its kind feature in a scooter, allow a safe and comfortable ride while maximising the storage on the floorboard.
Powerful Motor and Battery
Indie features a powerful motor with a peak power of 6.7 kW that can take it to a top speed of 90 kmph and have a gradeability of 18 degrees. The rider can seamlessly switch between three ride modes – Eco, Ride, and Rush. The 4 kWh battery provides a real-world range of 120 km and can be charged to 80% in 5 hours with a standard charger.
Price and Availability
Indie is priced at Rs. 1,25,000/- (ex-showroom Bengaluru) and pre-orders are open on the River website, with deliveries starting in August 2023.
Indie is inspired by the modern Indian who is always on the move, who wants to make the most of every day. The unique combination of design elements and technical specs gives Indie a distinct character, inspiring you to do more and be more. If you are looking for a scooter that combines practicality, capability, and style, Indie is the perfect choice for you.
