Numeros Motors has launched the n-first electric scooter with price starting at ₹64,999 for the n-first variant and goes up to ₹84,999 for the n-first i-max + variant. However, the prices are introductory and will be applicable for the first 1,000 customers. The n-first is the second model from the homegrown EV manufacturer.
At first look, the Numeros n-first looks more like a crossover between a scooter and a motorcycle, thanks to its 16-inch alloy wheels, which should also translate to better stability while riding. The electric scooter has slim proportions and will remind you of the ICE-powered TVS XL100. The front apron houses a round LED headlight. The rider instrument console is an LCD unit that also features connectivity in the higher variants. The footboard is flat and spacious, while the split seat looks quite roomy.
The electric motor on the n-first is a permanent magnet-type which draws power from a 2.5kWh battery pack (3kWh for the top variant) and produces a peak power output of 1.8kW (2.5kW for the top variant) and a peak torque output of 34Nm. The IDC range for the top variant is 109km, while the lower variants have a claimed range of 91km. Charging from 0-100 percent takes about 4-5 hours with the 480-watt charger, and adds a couple of hours more for the top variant with the larger-capacity battery pack.
As mentioned before, the n-first gets 16-inch wheels, which are suspended on telescopic forks on the front and twin shocks at the rear. Drum brakes on both ends bring it to a stop. Additionally, there is a built-in mobile phone mount, which should come in handy. Numeros has also given the n-first a chain final drive. The scooter has a top speed restricted to 55kmph for the lower variants and 70kmph for the top variant. It also gets ride modes –Eco, Normal, and Sport, along with reverse parking assist. With the company’s mobile application, you can get service, RSA and vehicle information like last parked location, live location, trip statistics, geofencing, theft/tow alert, and vehicle immobilisation alerts.
