The launch of Brisk EV’s electric scooter marks an exciting moment in the Indian electric vehicle (EV) market, particularly for those who are looking for vehicles offering impressive range and features. With competitors like Ola Electric and Bajaj leading the industry, can Brisk EV successfully carve out its niche? In this article, we will delve into the various aspects of the Brisk EV electric scooter, including its design, features, pricing, and overall market positioning.
Brisk EV’s Electric Scooter (2025) Overview
Brisk EV has introduced an electric scooter that boasts a 200 km range on a single charge, aiming to cater to the growing demand for more capable and longer-lasting electric two-wheelers. As we explore its design and features, let’s see if it stands up against established players in the market.
Design
The scooter features a stylish design that catches the eye. Here are some key points about its design:
- Front End: The front of the scooter resembles designs from manufacturers like Simple Energy, providing a modern and sleek look.
- Rear End: However, the rear end slightly reflects elements seen in models from companies like Tork, possibly hinting at a lack of originality.
- Floorboard: The floorboard is notably muscular, featuring integrated battery storage. Unfortunately, it compromises space, which might hinder passenger comfort slightly.
- Color Variants: The scooter is available in six attractive colors—silver, blue, green, red, white, and black—with many reviewers favoring the sleek black option.
Tires and Brakes
- Wheels: The scooter sports 12-inch wheels, with 90/90 section tires at the front and 100/80 section tires at the back, offering a blend of performance and stability.
- Braking System: It features a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear, equipped with a Combined Braking System (CBS) that enhances safety, which is now common in many electric vehicles.
Instrumentation
The Brisk EV scooter impresses with a 7-inch TFT screen that includes:
- Smart features such as smartphone connectivity.
- Onboard navigation capabilities.
- Notifications regarding the vehicle’s status and charging locations.
While the screen impresses with its functionality, it lacks the wow factor that some may expect given the competitive market landscape. The features offered are on par with what other manufacturers are currently providing.
Performance Specs
The electric scooter is powered by a 4.5 kWh battery pack, enabling an IDC range of up to 200 kilometers. Here’s what you can expect performance-wise:
- Motor Power: The scooter delivers a nominal power of 3.3 kW and peaks at 6.5 kW, producing a torque of 22 Nm.
- Acceleration: It can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in about 3.6 seconds, which is quite impressive for an electric scooter.
- Top Speed: The maximum speed stated is 95 km/h.
Additionally, Brisk EV has included three riding modes: Eco, Ride, and Risk. The battery can be charged from 0 to 100% in just 7 hours using a 750 Watt charger, making it suitable for daily use.
Comfort and Usability
- Seat Height & Weight: The seat height is set at 760 mm, making it accessible for riders of various heights. The scooter weighs about 132 kg and can bear a load capacity of 180 kg.
- Ground Clearance: The ground clearance is noted at 165 mm, which might be less than some competitors, but is a common design choice for electric scooters aiming for battery integration beneath the floorboard.
Brisk EV’s Electric Scooter: Pricing and Warranty
The introductory price of the scooter is ₹139,000; however, additional costs may arise if customers wish to purchase a charger separately. This pricing places the scooter in a premium bracket, raising questions about its competitiveness in a market where other brands offer similar features at lower costs.
- Warranty: The motor comes with a warranty of 3 years or 36,000 km, while the battery offers 3 years or 30,000 km, extendable to 5 years and 60,000 km.
Conclusion
Brisk EV plans to launch its scooter initially in Hyderabad, with expansion to other cities anticipated within the next 8 to 10 months. The promising range of 200 km is appealing, yet the reality for many users may lead to a realistic range of around 150 km under practical conditions.
