Homegrown automaker EeVe India has launched its Soul scooter in the country. It will be up for grabs from January. As for the highlights, the vehicle has a head-turning look and offers a USB port as well as an LED headlamp. It is fueled by an electric powertrain and promises a range of 120km on a single charge.

Why does it matter?
The EeVe Soul is competitively priced and offers lots of features. Its debut in India should raise the competition in the electric two-wheeler segment to a great extent.

The scooter gets an LED lighting setup, a digital instrument console with support for navigation, and a USB charging socket. It also gets an under-seat storage compartment and rides on 12-inch black-colored wheels.
It attains a top speed of 60km/h
EeVe Soul packs a 1.2kW hub-mounted electric motor linked to a swappable Lithium Ferrous Phosphate battery pack that can be charged in roughly four hours. The scooter hits a top speed of 60km/h and delivers a range of up to 120km per charge.
It flaunts a combined braking system
To ensure the safety of the rider, the EeVe Soul is equipped with a disc brake on the front wheel, a drum brake on the rear wheel, and a combined braking system (CBS) for better handling on the roads. Suspension duties on the electric scooter are taken care of by inverted forks on the front side and a shock absorber on the rear.
