Avan Motors, a Pune-based electric two-wheeler manufacturer, unveiled the Trend E electric scooter at the 2019 Automobile Expo held in Bangalore last week. This is the company’s third scooter after the Xero and Xero +. Interestingly, all its scooters are powered by lithium-ion batteries. A lithium-ion battery is considerably lighter than a lead acid battery and holds more charge as well. However, they are relatively expensive when compared to lead-acid units.

As far as the design is concerned, the Trend E looks like a conventional scooter - almost like the TVS Scooty Zest 110. It seems to be equipped with large 16-inch alloy wheels lifted from the Avan Xero electric scooter. In fact, its underpinnings, including the front disc brake with a single piston caliper, telescopic front forks and rear coil spring shock absorber, seem to have been borrowed from the Xero. Avan claims that the scooter has a high ground clearance to tackle bad roads and large speed breakers with ease.

The e-scooter gets a detachable lithium-ion battery pack and there’s a provision to add another battery to extend the range. Avan claims a range of 60km with the standard battery pack and 110km with the additional unit. Charging time for the standard lithium-ion battery is rated at two to four hours. While no details about the electric motor have been revealed, Avan claims the scooter can touch a top speed of 45kmph and carry a maximum payload of 150kg.

When launched, we expect the Trend E to be priced at a slight premium than the Xero +, which costs Rs 46,990 for the standard variant and Rs 66,900 for the one with the dual battery setup (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi).
