River Indie Electric Scooter : The festive season in India is synonymous with new beginnings and grand purchases, and the electric vehicle market is buzzing with excitement. Adding to the celebratory spirit, River, an innovative electric vehicle startup, has announced a spectacular discount on its flagship model, the Indie electric scooter. For a limited time around Janmashtami, this feature-packed scooter has become significantly more accessible, offering a compelling package for riders looking to go electric.
A Substantial Price Reduction
The most headline-grabbing aspect of this offer is the dramatic price drop. The River Indie, which was previously priced at around ₹1.38 lakh (ex-showroom), is now available at an effective price of just ₹1.03 lakh after a massive festive discount of ₹35,000. This substantial reduction transforms the Indie from a premium offering into a highly competitive and value-for-money proposition in the ever-growing Indian e-scooter market.
River Indie Electric Scooter: Engineered for Performance and Range
Apart from the appealing price, the River Indie delivers on the performance front. It is propelled by a powerful 6.7 kW BLDC electric motor which churns out a peak power of 9 bhp and an impressive 26 Nm of torque. Needless to say they offer a spirited accellearteration powertrain, with the scooter really shadowing down to 0-40km/h in 3.77 seconds. Since most scooter riders are city players, with some occasional high speed treat thrown in like a highway run, you can actually comfortably lope along at nearly 90 km/h on top, ensuring no traffic jam gets the better of you.
The Indie shines in an area where it’s really the best: range. Fitted with a 4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, the bike claims to deliver a pretty decent 220 km on a single full charge (under a test ride condition, of course). To charge the vehicle, it comes with 3 kW AC fast charger which can charge from 0 to 80% in 35 minutes, making it less time-consuming and more convenient for the user.
Loaded with Smart and Practical Features
The River Indie is marketed as a smart utility scooter, and the feature list does justify that tag. The star of the dashboard is a 6 inch modern touchscreen console. That digital cluster does more than display numbers; it connects to a smartphone, has Bluetooth and navigation assist, and even takes voice commands, while also benefiting from regular over-the-air updates to maintain currency of the scooter’s software.
Practicality is a key focus. The scooter features a USB charge port — so you can power your way on the go — a top-of-the-line burglar alarm system and practical extras such as a side-stand indicator and a sensor that cuts power should someone accidentally accelerate. Lighting is all full LED, form the headlight, taillight, to DRLs for visibility day or night and safety. Other conveniences, including cruise control, help fight rider fatigue on long, open stretches of pavement.
A Compelling Package for the Modern Rider
Featuring a sizeable festive discount, some serious performance, class-leading range and an extensive list of smart features, the River Indie makes for a very appealing prospect indeed. It also goes beyond just being a point A-to-point B car and presents itself as an adaptable, tech-forward companion for your daily drive and more.
For customers interested in making the transition to electrified mobility but were yet to see the right mix of affordability, range and features, the Janmashtami offer on the River Indie may just be the nudge that gets them over the line.
