Lectrix EV launches NDuro electric scooter
Autocar Professional, 4 Dec '24
Lectrix EV, the e-mobility division of SAR Group, has introduced its latest electric scooter, the NDuro, at an introductory price of Rs. 60,000 (US$ 710).
The NDuro is designed to cater to the needs of urban commuters as well as adventure enthusiasts.
It is available in two battery configurations: a 2.3 kWh battery offering a range of 90 km (IDC) and a 3.0 kWh battery providing a range of 117 km (IDC).
To make the scooter more accessible, Lectrix EV has introduced it under a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model. This option allows customers to lease batteries at a nominal subscription cost, reducing the upfront cost of the scooter by nearly 40%.
Additionally, users can swap batteries at designated stations, minimising downtime and alleviating range anxiety.
"NDuro represents our commitment to innovation and sustainability. It is a bold step towards the future of mobility, offering a perfect balance of style, performance, and user experience," stated Rakesh Malhotra, founder of the SAR Group.
The unveiling event, held at The Park Hotel in New Delhi, was attended by notable figures, including Pritesh Talwar, President of Lectrix EV, SAR Group founders Rakesh Malhotra and Navneet Kapoor and Lectrix EV Co-founder Anil Dua. The launch marks a significant milestone for Lectrix EV in the rapidly expanding electric vehicle market.
Lectrix EV has established a robust presence across more than 120 cities, supported by a network of over 200 dealer partners and service centres. The NDuro will also be available for purchase on Flipkart, with convenient EMI options.
The company has already deployed 10,000 batteries as part of its BaaS initiative and currently operates 15,000 scooters and 30,000 three-wheelers in India. "The NDuro is designed to surpass customer expectations and set new benchmarks in the EV market," remarked Kislay Pankaj, CTO of Lectrix EV.
Since its inception in 2020, Lectrix EV has invested Rs. 3 billion in its operations, achieving a reduction of over 6.6 million kilograms of CO2 emissions.
