Reservations for the River Indie Electric Scooter are Now Open; View Updated Cost & Features
River, an electric scooter start-up located in Bengaluru, has reopened reservations for its flagship model, the Indie.
Prospective buyers may pay Rs 2,500 online to reserve the Indie. Additionally, the newly launched Bengaluru store offers an on-site booking option, according to Autocar.
One of the Indie’s best features is its enormous storage capacity. You may keep your items in an amazing 55 liters of space, with an extra 12 liters in the glove compartment and 43 liters hidden beneath the seat.
Because the Indie has additional attachments like floor cages, top boxes, and hard panniers to ensure you never run out of capacity for your stuff, it’s a wonderful choice for folks who need more space.
The River Indie was unveiled in February 2023, and in August of the same year, a small batch of the device departed the Hoskote production facility. One month after reservations for the first batch of Indie scooters began, more than 200 orders had been placed by the end of the month. Furthermore, in October 2023, the first scooter shipment was delivered to customers in Bengaluru.
River, a 2021-founded firm, obtained fresh capital last year with significant investments from many additional investors, including the Al Futtaim Group.

The user may choose from a variety of riding modes, and a stated range of 120 kilometers is provided. There will be a forthcoming fast charger in addition to an 800-watt portable charger.
Among the amenities offered are a 12-liter glovebox, a 43-liter underseat storage area, and optional extras like top box and hard panniers. Indian roads are a good fit for the 14-inch wheels and the comfortable suspension on both sides.
The current pricing of the Indie, ex-showroom Bengaluru, is Rs 1.38 lakh, an increase of Rs 13,000 from its first introduction. The Ather 450S, TVS iQube S, and Bajaj Chetak Premium are some of its rivals.
Residents of Bengaluru have a fantastic opportunity to transition to greener transportation while still enjoying the benefits of a feature-rich ride, since reservations are now open.
Whether it’s a fast supermarket run, a leisurely cruise, or the commute to work, the Indie is prepared to be a stylish and trustworthy companion for every kind of travel.
