Bigger Battery Means More Range
The most interesting upgrade to the scooter is the new 4.4 kWh battery pack, consisting of two removable 2.2 kWh units that can be charged individually. Now, with the increased capacity, the claimed IDC (Indian Driving Conditions) range is 187 km, up from 146 km on the 3.4 kWh version. That’s an improvement of 41 km, making the new variant significantly better for long daily commutes.

Is the Rs 20,000 Premium Worth Buying The 4.4 kWh Variant?
Yes. Even though the 4.4 kWh variant costs around Rs 20,000 more, it is definitely worth your investment. In return you get about 40 km more range, higher top speed, and a more powerful charger, which makes it a lot more convenient. For buyers whose commute is 60-70 km daily, the additional premium could be easily justified, especially considering the improved practicality for longer commutes.
