Hyderabad-based electric two-wheeler company PURE had launched the EPluto 7G electric scooter earlier this year but it clearly hasn’t received the recognition it deserves. The scooter’s main highlight is the range of up to 120km it offers on a full charge, coupled with the 2200W power its motor produces.

But perhaps the biggest attraction is the design. It screams retro and is reminiscent of the old Bajaj Chetak models, especially when you look at its tail light. Still, the design borrows the most from the Vespa Notte 125 thanks to a rounded but slender body, circular LED headlamp, and chrome-finished mirrors.

Don’t get too carried away by its old-fashioned looks though as the vehicle is packed with technology. With features such as a 5-inch LCD display, Smart Lock with AntiTheft provision, multiple speed modes, and disc-brakes on the front, it’s clear that the EPluto 7G is no ordinary two-wheeler.

Moving on to the power supply, the scooter packs a portable 60V 2.5kWh battery that can be filled up easily from your home. It is capable of a range of approximately 90-120kms on a single complete charge, which takes up to 4 hours. The electric motor powered by it produces high torque and can run the scooter at a max speed of 60kmph.

Other specifications include an acceleration time of 5 seconds to reach 40kmph, 10-inch alloy wheels, 12-degree gradability, and comfortable seating for two persons.

The PURE EPluto 7G electric scooter comes in multiple color options namely Ruby Red, Shadow Black, Electron Blue, Active Grey, Pearly White, and Stripling Yellow. It sells at a price of ₹79,999 (ex-showroom), with No Cost EMI options starting from ₹2,838 per month.
