Avan Motors, an electric scooter manufacturer, has launched two new products in India. Christened as Xero and Xero+, these scooters are now on sale priced at Rs 55,000 and Rs 85,000 respectively (ex-showroom).
Avan currently has two products in its portfolio – Xero and Xero+. Both these scooters feature a conservative design, which should appeal to the masses. While the Xero is the entry-level model with basic capabilities, the Xero+ is slightly more performance-oriented. At the heart of the Xero is a 250W electric motor powered by a 48V lithium-ion battery, which can propel it to speeds up to 25kmph. The battery can be charged in six to eight hours, and lasts for up to 70 kilometres. The Xero+ on the other hand, gets an 800W electric motor. This powertrain boosts its top speed to 45kmph, while the dual lithium-ion batteries bump up its range to 110 kilometres. Even the Xero+ can be charged in six to eight hours.
Avan Motors is a new start-up with plans to revolutionise scooter buying experience. The company doesn’t have any showrooms, but instead offers doorstep services for test rides, purchase and servicing of its scooters. All these services can be accessed through the company’s official website. As of now, Avan is only operating in Pune although it plans to extend its services to many other cities by the end of this year.
