Sokudo Electric India has launched an ambitious range of electric scooters, including two models compliant with the FAME-II (Faster Adoption and Manufacture of Electric Vehicles) standards and one NON-RTO model. Named the Select 2.2, Rapid 2.2, and Plus (Lithium), these scooters are set to significantly contribute to India’s electric vehicle (EV) landscape and support the ‘Make in India’ mission.
In a market that witnessed a 36% growth in electric scooter sales in 2023, Sokudo Electric’s latest offerings are poised to capture a substantial 15-20% market share. This launch aligns with the company’s vision to offer durable, affordable, and efficient mobility solutions that resonate with the Indian populace, furthering the nation’s objective of achieving 80% sales penetration for electric two-wheelers.
The Plus (Lithium) NON-RTO model extends up to 105 km range and is available for INR 59,889. These scooters are not just economically viable but also excel in performance and safety, featuring smart fireproof lithium ferro phosphate (LFP) batteries and a 15-amp converter for efficient charging, addressing the common concerns of range anxiety and battery safety prevalent among Indian consumers.
With body constructions ranging from 3.5mm to 5.25mm in ABS plastic, these scooters are built to last. They incorporate CANBUS connectors for real-time monitoring, simplifying maintenance procedures. Sokudo Electric stands behind its products with a three-year warranty on the battery and a five-year warranty on the vehicle, showcasing confidence in their durability and reliability.
Prashant Vashishtha, Founder & CMD of Sokudo Electric India, expressed his commitment to revolutionising the Indian EV market. ‘Over 5 lakh individuals purchasing NON-RTO lead-acid scooters monthly are left desiring more in terms of range and durability. Our new models are designed to offer safer, more efficient, and reliable alternatives at competitive prices,’ stated Vashishtha. He believes that the unique features and comprehensive warranties of the Sokudo electric scooters will position the brand as a superior mobility solution, surpassing many international offerings.
