Avan Motors Trend E Electric Scooter To Be Launched By March-end

The company is looking to bring the total number of dealerships in the country to over 100 over the next few months

• Avan Motors recently unveiled the Trend E electric scooter.
• The company has announced that it will launch the scooter by the end of this month.
• Avan Motors is also looking to expand its dealership reach to 11 more states in the next few months.
• Tier 2 and tier 3 cities will be prioritised.

Avan Motors has announced that it will be launching the Trend E electric scooter by the end of March. The scooter was unveiled recently, and comes with a dual lithium-ion battery setup that can deliver a range of 110km. The styling is slightly sportier than Avan Motors’ other offering, the Xero+, but the underpinnings seem to be the same. However, the Xero+ takes 4-6 hours to charge each battery whereas the Trend E takes only 2-4 hours to charge fully. So expect the Trend E to carry a slight premium over the Xero+, perhaps about Rs 55,000, ex-showroom. 

The company also revealed its dealership expansion plans, where they intend to take the total dealership count from the current 30 dealerships to about 100 over the next few months. It will be prioritising tier 2 and tier 3 cities as according to the company, these cities have witnessed a boom in electric vehicle usage. On the other hand, one of India’s biggest electric scooter players, Hero Electric, has about 600 dealerships across the country while another Indian e-scooter company, Okinawa, has around 279 dealerships country-wide. Here’s Avan Motors’ official statement:
