The Indie is one of the longest scooters on sale, at nearly 2 metres. As a result, it feels stable and roomy for two riders. Moreover, its 55 litres of combined storage beats almost every rival. However, at about 137 kg, it feels heavy when parking or pushing it around.
Battery and Range
The Indie uses a 4 kWh fixed battery that claims 163 km on the IDC cycle. River also quotes real-world figures by ride mode: about 110 km in Eco, 90 km in Ride and 70 km in Rush. Therefore, most riders can expect around 90 to 110 km in daily use. Among the River Indie specifications, this range sits close to rivals like the Ather Rizta Z. Moreover, the battery can handle gradients of up to 18 degrees.
Motor and Performance
A PMSM motor drives the rear wheel through a chain, producing 6.7 kW (9 bhp) of peak power and 26 Nm of torque. As a result, the Indie reaches 40 km/h in about 3.7 seconds in Rush mode and tops out at 90 km/h. Moreover, Ride mode caps speed at about 80 km/h for a better balance of range and pace. Eco mode, meanwhile, stretches range for slow city riding.
River Indie Charging Time
| Charging method | Charging time |
|---|---|
| 750 W home charger (0 to 80%) | About 5 hours |
| 750 W home charger (0 to 100%) | About 6 hours |
The Indie comes with a 750 W home charger that plugs into a regular socket. It reaches 80% in about 5 hours, so overnight charging works best. However, the battery is fixed, so you’ll need a socket near your parking spot. Therefore, apartment dwellers should check charging access before buying.
Brakes, Suspension and Warranty
The Indie uses twin telescopic front forks and twin rear shocks. It rides on 14-inch wheels with a 110/80 front and 120/70 rear tyre, which roll over bad roads more smoothly than smaller wheels. Moreover, disc brakes at both ends give confident stopping power. These River Indie specifications also underpin the Yamaha EC-06, which shares its platform. River covers the scooter and battery for 3 years or 30,000 km, and the latest on-road costs appear on the River Indie price page.
