One Chinese Scooter brand

 It has been almost a decade since electric scooters were introduced in Indian market. Most of the electric scooters which were launched in Indian market are of Chinese brand. However, the user experience was not good enough to grow in Indian market. There was a lot of negative feedback received from the customers like speed is not enough, engine is not quite powerful.

Those electric scooters which were imported from China had a lead ACID battery. This types of batteries were old and outdated technology. Motor used was also not advanced in technology. The main aim of Chinese manufacturer was to launch an electric scooter with less price so that more people can buy it. However, those electric scooters were not capable of resale due to their low quality. Inspiring from Chinese, some of Indian manufacturers started launching electric scooters and the goal was to launch with less price instead of good quality. This led the electric scooter to get flopped in India and almost 200 dealers had closed their shop.
