The River Indie certainly stands out in the Indian electric scooter market today, with its styling and focus on practicality. Its ground clearance and build quality also makes it suitable to traverse through bad roads and water-logged areas with not much trouble. However, River’s dealer and service network is still rather small, and the price hike does not do much justice when you consider that the recent update wasn’t all that substantial.

River Indie Detailed Review

The Indie has been styled to appear like the ‘SUV’ of scooters, and it shows 8

• The Indie’s design treatment is unlike any other electric scooter currently on sale. It gets
  a chunky body, and the twin-pod headlamps make it look massive from the front.
• It is the only scooter in India to feature front footpegs, which allows riders to enjoy
  different riding positions. The 20-inch flat floorboard also keeps things rather
  comfortable.
• The rear of the scooter also looks just as chunky, with a gloss black panel surrounding
  the tail lamp, and it also comes with pre-installed pannier mounts on the side.

Indie body specifications:

Wheel Size

110/70 R14 inch & 120/70 R14 inch

1/1

A huge focus on practicality and load-carrying ability, but no connected features to speak of 8

• The pre-installed pannier mounts allow you to mount storage boxes, and also carry stuff
  at the rear by tying things up with a rope. .
• A 43-litre underseat storage space, along with a 12-litre lockable glovebox up front
  should be more than enough for an average person’s daily needs.
• A specialized phone holder is available as an accessory, which allows you to place your
  phone horizontally and use it for navigation, since the 6-inch LCD display screen does
  not get on-board connectivity.
• The seat of the Indie is quite long and wide, which should be accommodating enough for
  most riders, and the 20-inch floorboard should make things further comfortable.
• A floorboard cage can also be opted for, which allows you to carry stuff on the floorboard
  without the risk of anything falling off. This is where the front footpegs also prove to be
  extremely helpful.

Continues with the same drivetrain and battery pack, but it gets a new chain drive. 8

• The Indie retains its mid-mount electric motor, producing 8.9bhp and 26Nm of peak
  power and torque respectively. This propels it to a top speed of 90kmph, and there are
  three ride modes on offer.
• The battery pack is a 4kWh unit with an IDC claimed range of 161km on a single charge,
  and it can be juiced up from 0-80% in a claimed time of 5 hours.

Indie battery specifications:

Top Speed	90 kmph
Power	6.7 kW
Torque	26 Nm
Charging Time	5 Hours
