Mahindra could unveil Gusto-based electric scooter by early 2020

- Mahindra electric scooter likely to be unveiled by early 2020

- To be based on Genze e-scooter sold in the US

- Likely to have a top speed of 50-60kmph and 80km of range

It was in August this year that Mahindra’s top official had confirmed to a media publication that they are contemplating on entering into the electric two-wheeler space. After three months now, yet another report states that the company is planning to unveil this electric two-wheeler before Auto Expo, as early as in January 2020. The report also mentions that this e-scooter will be based on the petrol-powered Mahindra Gusto, which has now been discontinued in India.

For the battery and motor of this upcoming offering, Mahindra is likely to take inputs from the Genze electric scooter, which it already sells in the US. It will reportedly be powered by a 3kW motor with a top speed of around 50-60kmph and a battery range of about 80km. What makes this believable is the fact that the Pegueot E-Ludix scooter also rides on a 3kW motor, which Mahindra manufactures at its Pithampur plant and exports to Europe. Furthermore, the e-scooter is also believed to have already received ARAI-certification. 

Notably, Mahindra couldn’t manage to establish a strong foothold in the conventional two-wheeler space in India. That makes it logical for them to focus on the electric two-wheeler segment instead of focusing on the BS6 transition of conventional vehicles. On the other hand, the Mahindra-owned Classic Legends brand which sells Jawa motorcycles in India has been well-received in the country.
