In today’s era when petrol prices are constantly rising, the demand for electric vehicles is increasing rapidly. In such a situation, BattRE Electric Storie has emerged as a great option. It is not only environmentally friendly but also saves a lot on your monthly expenses.
Design and build quality
Talking about the design, the design of BattRE Electric Storie is quite attractive and modern to look at. Its retro-modern look gives it a distinct identity on the road. With halogen headlamp and bulb turn signals, this scooter not only looks stylish but is also completely safe for riding at night. The ground clearance of 200 mm makes it ideal for Indian roads.
Performance and battery life
The biggest feature of BattRE Storie is its great range of 103 km, which can take you long distances on a single charge. With a top speed of 65 kmph, it is perfect for urban areas. The 2.3 kWh lithium-ion battery is IP67 rated and remains completely safe even in the rain. The 2.4 kW BLDC hub motor offers a smooth riding experience.
Comfort and Features
The single seat design is very comfortable for long distance rides. Being light in weight, it is quite easy to handle, making it a great option for new riders. It has advanced features like a 3.25-inch LCD display, Bluetooth connectivity, navigation alerts. Features like underseat storage and USB charging port make it even more practical.
Price and Variants
The BattRE Electric Story is available in two variants – Story EPIC (₹99,999) and Story STD (₹1,14,999). The EPIC variant offers a range of 103 km while the STD variant comes with a better range of 132 km. Both variants offer a top speed of 65 kmph. These prices are ex-showroom Delhi and do not include FAME II and state subsidies.
Running cost and savings
Talking about running cost, the biggest feature of electric vehicles is their low running cost. The running cost of the battery story comes to just Rs 0.19 per kilometer. If you travel 30 km daily, your monthly savings will be around Rs 1,300 compared to a petrol scooter. The running cost of a petrol scooter comes to around Rs 1.68 per kilometer, which makes a big difference in the long run.
Competitive with comparable models
The battery electric story competes with electric scooters like Hero Electric Photon, Okinawa PraisePro and Hero Electric NYX available in the market. However, the long range and affordable price of the story make it a better option among all of them. Due to the dual battery system, the Hero Electric NYX HX offers a better range of 138 km, but it is also priced quite high.
Colour Options
Battery Electric Story is available in 8 attractive colours – Gunmetal Black, Midnight Black, Pearl White, Hunter Green, Candy Red, Ice Blue, Cosmic Blue and Ecru Yellow. Having so many colour options gives you the freedom to choose the scooter according to your personality. The design of the scooter looks equally attractive in all colours.
