In a bold move to revolutionize the electric two-wheeler segment, Zelo Electric has officially launched the Knight+ electric scooter at an aggressive introductory price of ₹59,990 (ex-showroom). Positioned as India’s most affordable feature-packed electric scooter, the Knight+ aims to make premium electric mobility accessible to the masses.
With this launch, Zelo Electric is targeting value-conscious urban and semi-urban commuters who seek modern features, high practicality, and dependable range — all without breaking the bank.
Powerful Battery and Impressive Range
At the heart of the Knight+ lies a 1.8 kWh portable LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery, designed for both safety and long-term durability. Unlike conventional lithium-ion packs, LFP batteries are known for their enhanced thermal stability and longer life cycles, making them a safer option for Indian conditions.
The battery provides a real-world range of 100 km on a single charge, making it suitable for daily commutes without range anxiety. The battery is also detachable, allowing users to conveniently charge it at home or in the office.
Reliable Motor for Urban Commutes
The electric scooter is powered by a 1.5 kW hub motor, delivering a top speed of 55 km/h. This makes the Knight+ perfect for navigating city traffic and short highway stretches, while maintaining efficiency and performance.
Segment-First Features at an Entry-Level Price
Despite its highly competitive price point, Zelo Knight+ offers segment-first features that are rarely seen in this budget category:
- Hill Hold Control: Prevents the scooter from rolling backwards on inclines, ensuring smoother starts on flyovers and slopes.
- Cruise Control: Enables riders to maintain a consistent speed, reducing fatigue during long rides.
- Follow-Me-Home Headlamps: Keeps the headlights on for a few seconds after parking, helping riders safely navigate in low-light conditions.
- USB Charging Port: Ensures your smartphone or other devices are always powered up on the go.
- Portable Battery Design: Enhances flexibility and ease of use, especially for users without dedicated EV charging infrastructure at home.
These features not only add to the scooter’s practicality but also bring a touch of premium functionality typically found in higher-end electric scooters.
Design, Colours, and Personalization
In terms of design, it sports a raked front apron with a large headlamp, integrated turn indicators on the side panels, a sharp, angular silhouette that tapers towards the rear.
It gets a single-piece flat seat and a digital instrument cluster. Equipped with telescopic forks for the front suspension and dual rear shock absorbers, with drum brakes at both ends.
Zelo has launched the Knight+ in a total of six eye-catching colour options, offering both single-tone and dual-tone finishes:
- Single-Tone: Glossy White, Glossy Black
- Dual-Tone: Matte Blue & White, Matte Red & White, Matte Yellow & White, Matte Grey & White
This wide variety of color options allows users to express their personal style while riding an environmentally friendly vehicle.
