They have nailed the basics of an EV scooter with no gimmicks and unnecessary hype. Hope they succeed and could probably be my 1st Practical and Comfortable EV scooter for daily city commute

But they ended up making it a little heavy. 140kg is a lot. Ola which itself is 15kg heavier than activa is 125

@@jashanvirsingh2166 4kwh, maximum you can get an average is 100 to 110. Because it's 15 kg more, it can be little less. It's just like phones. Of course software and os matters but in ev it's just down to battery capacity and riding styles irrespective of chemistry. Finally, on what basis are you saying ola is bad? Online reviews? I own it and ridden more than 15k and I have no issues with it.i got another for dad after using the first one and was happy about it. Of course I agree the build quality on river indie looks really solid and definitely better than ola. But ola itself is not bad contrary to its negative publicity.

The problem with EV startups is that they can't expand their dealership base quickly to cover the whole country and are stuck in tier 1 cities for years. Ola is the only company able to expand but the product is substandard.

The design reminds me of the old Bajaj Chethak with the front storage space. It's a good thing that they focused on giving a good ride experience rather pouring it with unwanted gimmicks. Kudos to the team for bringing on people with different heights to check the seat height. Good scooter & good video!

I am in love with this EV River😍, love to buy this someday❤ Love from itanagar Arunachal pradesh Bharat 🇮🇳

The design aspect has covered what most ev scotters nowadays lacking. Kudos to the team for keeping practicality aspect . Looking forward ..

भाई यह देखने के लिए ऑंखें तरस गई। 14" के rims और इतने बढ़िया accessory options, मज़ा आ गया। European स्कूटर्स को टक्कर दे रही है ये।👌👌

The first image of River Indie is way better than plasticky HOla and fugly ARther... 14" wheels make it Baap of all EV Scooters in India... Kudos to River... Way to go guys... Keep it up...

Really refreshing to see so much thought put into practicality and form following function in this lovely Scooter .. All the very best to the River team !

No bs All about practicality Nice one

Best feature added for charging port safety as normal ev charging point can be opened by anyone and that's dangerous as there is a voltage when you check using multimeter which I have checked in my friends ebike it's good to be locked same like petrol tank. 100% safety good work done by River Indie team takes complete safety even on small things.

Finally a good looking scooter from an Indian startup that contains no BS.

​@@stevemartis97 Looks are always subjective. I agree with the OP that it's a good looking scooter, you are free to disagree.

I like it's looks, really appears big daddy of scooters.👌👌

This going to be the most practical scooter in India. Congratulations to the makers for making this gem.

I like the rugged utilitarian look of this machine. Nothing like it available in USA

Very promising, for utility! better usage for an EV.

1:51 that was a nice reference... recently had seen an insta reel advertising a flat floor board as an add-on for the ola scooters...

This scooter looks absolutely practical and feels big on size. That's what I like because in some scooters it feels cramped. But I didn't liked how do the charging lid is opened via a latch inside. A simple push to open lid would have been nice and a bit more GC of 170 mm atleast would be nice. Otherwise it is very great product that looks very much like the Kinetic Blaze maxi scooter.

First time, liked the storage spaces in EV. This scooter is really tempting. Have to wait for the price.

Well covered, i am really impressed and would look at booking one once the price is announced

For a startup to have such a finished product without any glitches is commendable(Cough Cough Ola). Especially the performance in long stints. Glad they didn't focus on gimmicky features. Way to go guys.

I think they have nailed everything they aimed for including customer satisfaction by honouring the initial price.

River should come up with 125cc -150cc combustion engine with the same design... it would sale like hot cakes... it's big, practical and beautiful ❤️

I've said that earlier and I say it again see8ng rishaad review any 2 wheeler seems quite wholesome and evene helpful due to the same height as of me

This scooter indeed looks promising!

Absolutely love the fact that that haven't bothered about gimmicky touch screen which are most of the time glitchy and irritating

Riverr has nailed the sentiments for which most indian households buy scooter, especially utility. They need to expand it and have service centers at every major city.

Please tell me the what helmet are heared (that red and white one), i really liked it.

Only part which got my attention was that 14 inches wheels .

Much needed safety feature, with our govt focusing more off roads than actual roads

The look screams utilitarian, but in a good way, it’s neat. The look is also unique & will set it apart from other ev scooters. Looks promising and made me interested. Will be following up about this ev.

REALLY LOOKS PRACTICAL AND WELL DESIGNED.

Wow definitely made with Indian customers in mind❤

Finally reviews taking in account of height of average Indian masses. All these 6 foot and above reviewers complaining about ergonomics across various channels for many many products is frustrating to be honest. A great addition by Autocar, please make this addition in every review(car or bike). It adds real world(average indian) perspective to it. Great Review on again.

Fine made, looks like the guys who are behind this are very passionate two wheel lover 🎉❤

This is a pretty well thoughtout EV and looks really cool as well. Other than that, one thing I'm glad about is that, they decided to let reviewers test drive their scooter and share their honest feedback, before asking their customers to pay the full price for the scooter unlike some brands who'd ask for the full price in advance and then offer test rides to reviewers on a private mint condition track. If you know what I mean.

The scooter looks like a well thought and practical one.

Mentioning inseam alongside height would’ve been a useful addition.

I am really impressed and interested in River as a company and its product

the only e-scooter I'm anticipating... River please bring it to Aizawl 🙏

i m loving the design and its practicality use. This is a promising product

I really like the crash guards , very utilitarian very good.

Saw Extensive Testing on Whitefield Road, BLR.

This is beautiful!! I'm darn happy that it's Indian made.

If only this were ICE with 150cc engine, would have bought this in a heartbeat.

Love everything apart from sppedo and Design above the headlamp

India can compete China in car scooter industry. Well done India. From Pakistan ❤

Is the battery removable for home charging

Could you please comment on how the head lights perform during the night? I think this aspect is always overlooked in most reviews.

Good review...❤❤❤ better to have a compare drive and features with vida v1 pro, honda,and ola like models .

Every thing looks practical and practical 🎉

There needs to be a net inside the storage compartment below the steering column to hold objects from falling out. 8/10

It draws a lot of inspiration from the Honda ruckus

The height comparision at 4:40 is what I needed. Thanks Autocar This is amazing EV. Can you share the linl to buy

Design is awesome bhai... When is it coming to ranchi..

This one really understood the Indian average use cases beautifully .. but the only problem is how these companies gonna expand their dealership and service in specific amount of time after the launch ! ..

Hill hold assist would be helpful like Ather. Let's see when they ll implement

Dual stand h kya ?

Looks promising 👌👌👌

Well Activa is the same old one, in that segment i would anyday prefer access but again EV is for fun and a different experience and with this scooter it is a big one not a tiny scooty like others 😂

I have seen this type of scooter design in Indonesia and Japan so I'm Damn sure it isn't fully designed and developed in India rather they would have licenced the design of some other EV company scooter and done minor tweaks to riden in India condition. 😅😅😅😅 And it isn't a bad thing they have live up to promise and support they customers to gain trust to move in to volumes ❤❤❤❤ I like they approach market it as a work horse 👍👍. But they should focus on B2B segment like partnership with Domino's , Amazon , filpkart , local hotel chain prove there relatable there More power Peace out ✌️✌️✌️✌️

Vice city!!... this is why I love Autocar!

This should be lunch with ic engine as well.. Good design..

What's the battery chemistry? Lfp, li-ion or NMC?

Range test kab aaiga ...

This all looks nice and fansy but what about purchasing the scooter..? Its not available in metro city like mumbai still

The footpegs are such a genius move ❤

Is it available in Punjab?

Hats off to the designers ❤

River Indie!!!! Woooow! 🙂 (y) . A catchy name!. Hope to see River come out with an EV scooter that has a maximum speed of less than 50kmph, weighing not more than 60kgs and costs less than Rs.50,000/-(all inclusive) . Hope River Indie becomes a game changer in the EV industry! All the best!

Why

Where the battery is positioned? Power figure?

Good. But where is the spoiler in the scooter 🤔

Perfect scooter for India. You can tie and carry LPG Cylinder, Gunny Bags, Banana Bunch, etc on the floor of the scooter. Additional LOCKED storage also. This is what India need.

Good design, glad they've simpler dashboard

But can it fit the whole gas cylinder in the leg space? That is the most important question if they want to sell it in T2/T3 cities

Few things I would change. 1. The River Logo, looks odd. A Bold san sarif font logo In chrome would appeal to its ruggidness. The wide floor board needs to be curved in both the sides on bottom to prevent scrapping. Seat is small for front rider, need has to be widened for comfort. Please give metallic colours. This would look great in metallic paint.

When it's sale commence in Kerala

Make an comparision video with Ather scooter with River windie

How do we pre book this beast??

They should've given dual channel abs and traction control this could've added to the practicality and safety

Looks practical.

I'm in love with this ❤❤

This looks really cool and is very practical indeed! I don't think anyone cares about Bluetooth and mobile apps and other gimmicks on an every day scooter. Its it good to have for some but, I am sure 99% wont care. The rest 1% will use the app maybe 1 or two times and forget about it LOL.

I'm impressed

What's the hight of scooter from grounds to seat

good space

The headlamp and taillamp reminds me of the Harley Davison Fatboy

It’s a good looking machine in my opinion and practicality is something you don’t see in EVs that much.
