It is reported that E3 Electric.AI will release its first electric scooter called Trion tomorrow in India. This startup from Bengaluru has already managed to generate hype with teaser videos and spy shots, and the time when the Trion will officially be unveiled has come closer.

New Family-Oriented EV

The e3 Trion was designed specifically for those people who need a practical electric scooter to use it every day. Spy shots and leaks about the Trion say that the vehicle will have a comfortable passenger seat, pillion backrest, big 14-inch wheels, and a hub-mounted electric motor. The Trion will be focused more on comfort than on performance.

Moreover, E3 Electric.AI claims that their new electric scooter will be “intelligent.” It means that its software will be more developed compared to other mass-produced EVs.

Expected Features

While the production specifications of E3 trion have not been fully disclosed yet. There have been a number of features already associated with the vehicle via reports and materials issued by the company.

  • Removable battery packs within the range of 2 kWh to 4 kWh.
  • Hub motor for the rear wheel.
  • Features like cruise control and park mode switch.
  • Smartphone mount along with some app-based features.
  • AI-powered features like pothole detection, collision alerting and traffic rules compliance assistance.
  • Health scanning and prediction in 10 seconds via the software stack.

All of these indicate that E3 is focusing on building a scooter that would be based on software, convenience and practicality as opposed to performance parameters.

Price and Position in the Market

The official pricing hasn't been made yet, however, initial estimates put the E3 Trion at the cost ranging from Rs 99,999 to Rs 1.50 lakh.

Given the fact that this price range is accurate, the Trion will be launched in a very competitive segment of practical family scooters that have high acceptance among urban population. It might compete with some scooters such as River Indie and Ather Rizta, which are also aimed at the same urban customer base.

Company Statements

E3 Electric.AI claims that the Trion is part of the larger intelligent mobility platform. Some other features of the scooter include modular architecture, predictive maintenance and data-based range calculation.

The founder of E3 Electric.AI, P. Sanjeev, claims that this project is a large vision of intelligent electric mobility and that the first step would start in Bengaluru.

ELCTRIK Speaks

However, what makes the E3 Trion unique and different from other electric scooters is not only its launch but also its unique selling proposition that comes with regulatory compliance and specific launch timing. Should E3 Electric.AI live up to the promise of innovative technologies and pricing of the Trion, then it will definitely make for an interesting addition to the Indian family EV segment.
