The models' engine capacity is between 250 watts and 800 watts.

"The electric scooter market is currently a Rs 400-crore market in India and the industry is expected to double in a year's time. The initial market response for our product has been positive in the southern region and by the extending sales and services network into Delhi we hope to grow rapidly," Tube Investments of India Managing Director L Ramkumar told reporters here.
