Also, the stability is pampered by clip-on handlebars making the vehicle handier in an urban ambiance.

It also gets the built-in "safeguards" that will come out from the front deck of the scooter and act as a crash guard at the time of fall.

 

Making it more comfortable, the EV comes with dual spring suspensions at the back and bigger front forks at the front. Resting on a 14-inch alloy tire, Indie is equipped with comfortable seats, collapsible footpegs, and a pair of unseen Locl and Load boots.

As stated by the company, the boot will be big enough to load future accessories of the vehicle.

The vehicle can speed up to 90 kmph and provide fast charging of 80 percent in just 5 hours.
