About River Indie
River has opened its first showroom in Hyderabad and the deliveries for the pre-booked Indie electric scooters started from the day of opening as well. We tested the electric scooter in the real world, and here’s our comprehensive review. We also did a storage comparison with the Ather Rizta, to see how it fairs.
River is a Bengaluru-based EV startup, and the company launched its first product, the Indie electric scooter in 2023. The Indie is a rugged yet funky take on the premium electric scooter segment.
River Indie Price:
The River Indie comes at a price tag of Rs 1,38,000 (ex-showroom Bengaluru). It is available in three colours: Monsoon Blue, Summer Red and Spring Yellow.
River Indie Motor & Battery:
The River Indie is powered by a 6.7kW (peak) mid-mounted motor linked to a belt drive. It generates 26Nm peak torque and propels the e-scooter to a claimed top speed of 90kmph. 0-40kmph comes in at 3.9 seconds, and the e-scooter gets three riding modes: Eco, Ride, and Rush. The motor is linked to a 4kWh lithium-ion battery pack that can offer an IDC (Indian Driving Conditions) range of 161km. The battery takes five hours to charge from 0-80 percent using a standard charger.
River Indie Features:
The River Indie comes with funky-looking twin-LED headlights, and the tail light as well as the indicators are LED as well. It gets a 6-inch light-sensitive LCD instrument cluster, a massive LED-lit 43-litre underseat storage along with a 12-litre lockable glove box with USB charging port. There’s an additional USB port on the handlebar as well. Other notable features include a pair of rider footpegs, crash bars integrated into the apron, saddle stays, raised clip-on handlebars, hazard lights, and a side-stand motor cut-off function.
River Indie Suspension And Brakes:
The River Indie is built on a steel tubular double cradle chassis. It is suspended on a telescopic fork up front and a pair of preload-adjustable shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is via a 240mm front and a 200mm rear disc with CBS (Combined Braking System) as standard. The electric scooter rolls on large 14-inch alloy wheels, fitted with 110-section front and 120-section rear tyres. The ground clearance stands at a decent 165mm, whereas the seat is 770mm tall. The e-scooter can wade through 300mm of water.
River Indie Rivals:
Notable rivals of the River Indie include the Ola S1 Pro, Ather Rizta, Hero Vida V1, and the TVS iQube Electric. Other alternatives in its same price bracket include the Yamaha FZ-S Fi Version 4.0, Hero Xtreme 200S, and the Hero XPulse 200T.
