Keeway India has entered the premium electric scooter segment with the launch of the Hypevolt-R, priced at an introductory Rs 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The scooter is available in Crystal White and Platinum Grey, with bookings now open for Rs 5,000 through the company's official website and authorised dealerships.
The Hypevolt-R is powered by a 5.04kWh dual removable battery pack paired with a mid-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor that delivers 12kW of peak power and 72Nm of torque. According to the company, the scooter offers an IDC-certified range of 180 km, a top speed of 115 km/h, and can accelerate from 0-40 km/h in just 2.3 seconds in Sport mode. The battery can be charged either on or off the vehicle, with 0-80% charging completed in approximately three hours.
The scooter comes with three riding modes—Eco, Normal, and Sport—and features an extensive suite of rider assistance technologies, including traction control, dual-channel ABS, hill hold control, hill descent control, intelligent cruise control, blind spot detection, and a rear reverse camera. Other features include a 5-inch TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, USB Type-A and Type-C charging ports, and reverse mode.
Built on a high-carbon steel frame, the Hypevolt-R rides on 14-inch wheels fitted with tubeless tyres. It features telescopic front suspension and a five-level adjustable rear hydraulic shock absorber. The scooter has a kerb weight of 140 kg, 130 mm ground clearance, a 770 mm seat height, and 27 litres of under-seat storage.
Commenting on the launch, Vikas Jhabakh, Managing Director, Keeway India, said the Hypevolt-R marks a significant milestone for the brand in India. He added that today's EV customers seek not only efficiency but also a combination of performance, advanced technology, attractive design, and everyday practicality.
Keeway India said deliveries of the Hypevolt-R will commence shortly. The company is also expanding its retail network and currently operates more than 40 authorised dealerships across the country while continuing to onboard new dealer partners.
