Expert Verdict on Indie

River Indie Detailed Review
- 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:
| Ground Clearance | 165 mm |
- 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.
- 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.
