Designed for urban commuting, the scooter achieves a top speed of 40 km/h and offers a real-world range of 60-80 km on a single charge. It is powered by a 250W hub-mounted BLDC motor and a lithium-ion battery. Charging is facilitated by a portable charger, taking approximately three hours. The vehicle utilizes hydraulic dampers for suspension and drum brakes for stopping power, with a gradeability of 12 degrees making it suitable for everyday city travel.
