Numeros Motors has launched the Diplos Max electric scooter in India. It is a personal mobility scooter which is based upon the same platform as their commercial electric scooter. The scooter is available in a single variant and is priced at Rs 86,999 (ex-showroom, Bangalore).

Design

The Numeros Diplos Max, based upon the commercial scooter from the manufacturer, gets a very long seat which can comfortably allow two adults to sit along with their backpacks and still leave some space. The single LED headlight upfront,, the angular cowl on top of the front apron which has the LED DRL, and the high-mounted front beak complete the overall design of the electric scooter giving it a contemporary look. The scooter is available in 3 colour options: Crimson Red, Sonic Sliver and Cosmos Blue. 

Battery, Motor and Range 

The Numeros Diplos Max electric scooter gets a total battery capacity of 3.7kWh which is divided between two removable batteries and is paired to a 2.67kW (peak) hub-mounted electric motor. The batteries provide an IDC (Indian Driving Cycle) claimed range of 140km on a single charge. The scooter has a claimed top-speed of 63kmph. The batteries can be charged in 3-4 hours. 

The scooter gets two riding modes: Eco and Normal. The Eco mode prioritizes range over speed while the Normal mode provides a good balance between the two.
