The company said the Hypevolt-R has been designed for riders seeking a blend of performance, technology and everyday practicality. It features a 5 kWh dual removable battery setup that offers an IDC-certified riding range of up to 180 km on a single charge.
The battery packs can be charged either on or off the vehicle, while the in-built charging system can recharge the batteries from 0 to 80 per cent in around three hours, reducing downtime for users.
Powering the scooter is a mid-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor that delivers a peak output of 12 kW. According to the company, the Hypevolt-R can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 2.3 seconds and attain a top speed of 115 km/h. It also offers a 30-degree climbing capability, making it suitable for varied road conditions.
The scooter comes with three riding modes—Eco, Normal and Sport—allowing riders to choose between efficiency and performance. Keeway said the centrally mounted motor and dual-battery architecture provide improved weight distribution, sharper handling and quicker throttle response, positioning the Hypevolt-R as a premium offering in India’s fast-growing electric two-wheeler market.
