It is available in 2 battery pack options: a 2.3kWh battery pack which delivers an IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) range of 90km on a single charge and a 3.0kWh battery pack that provides an IDC range of 117km on a single charge.

The NDuro has an LCD instrument console that includes basic info like speed, odometer, range, battery, and other basic telltale lights.

It also gets a hill hold assist feature as standard. Moreover, the NDuro comes with a generous 42-litre of boot space.

The Lectrix NDuro gets a telescopic fork and twin rear shocks. It is fitted with 12-inch steel wheels on both ends, wrapped with tubeless tyres. The electric scooter also has a motorcycle-like tyre hugger at the rear.

Lectrix NDuro Battery Subscription Model

Lectrix is offering a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, which is basically a battery subscription model, making the electric scooter more affordable and accessible to customers, as they don’t have to pay for the battery at once. The manufacturer offers two BaaS options:

1. Battery Leasing: In this model, customers can rent/subscribe to the battery on a monthly basis.

2. Battery Swapping + Leasing: In this model, customers can rent/subscribe to the battery and also use the brand’s swapping network to swap their discharged batteries with the fully charged ones just in a few minutes, which reduces the range anxiety from the riders’ minds.

Lectrix NDuro Rivals

The Lectrix NDuro electric scooter will go up against the other affordable high-speed electric scooters like the Ola S1 Z  and Ola S1 X.
