Spotting the River Indie on the road is impossible to ignore. Bangalore-based startup River Mobility has unveiled this electric scooter with a bold, SUV-inspired silhouette. Its wide stance, squared-off dual LED headlamps, sculpted side panels and boxy rear end give it a distinctive presence that sets it apart from conventional scooters.
Spacious Storage for Everyday Needs
Under its sleek exterior, the River Indie boasts practical storage solutions. A 12-litre glovebox up front and a generous 43-litre compartment beneath the seat offer car-like cargo capacity. Whether it’s groceries, a helmet or daily essentials, you’ll have room to carry it all without compromise.
Smart Features for a Connected Ride
River Indie isn’t just about looks and storage. Onboard tech includes a full-colour digital display that keeps ride data at your fingertips. Two USB charging ports let you power up devices on the go, while reverse parking assist makes maneuvering in tight spots effortless. Together, these smart additions turn every journey into a hassle-free experience.
Robust Battery and Performance Specs
At its heart is a 4 kWh battery pack that drives a 6.7 kW motor, delivering peppy acceleration and reliable range. You can expect up to 120 km on a single charge, with a top speed of 90 km/h for confident highway cruising. When it’s time to recharge, the battery reaches 80% capacity in just five hours—ideal for overnight charging or a quick top-up.
Safety and Rider Comfort Combined
Safety features include disc brakes at both ends and a combined braking system (CBS) for balanced stopping power. A wide floorboard and dedicated footrest enhance rider comfort, while integrated crash guards add an extra layer of protection in case of a tip-over. These design choices make daily commuting safer and more comfortable.
Competitive Pricing and Availability
Priced from ₹1,43,001, the River Indie enters the market as a stylish, eco-friendly alternative to petrol scooters. It takes on rivals like the Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak, Ola S1 Pro and TVS iQube with its unique blend of rugged design and modern features. Currently available only in Bangalore, its standout appeal suggests it won’t be long before riders across India take notice.
