GenZe 2.0 scooter has been designed to carry daily errands with ease. It is built on cast-aluminium frame which is lighter and stronger.  The 7-inch Cruise-Connect™ touchscreen display shows your speed, range and charge level, and lets you customize the ride to fit your needs. Whether you need more speed or want to go farther, the Cruise-Connect™ offers 3 riding modes, including a setting for those first learning to ride. This single-seater electric scooter gets under seat storage along with a zippered rear storage cover and front storage bag. The Mahindra GenZe is all about practicality and utility at a budget price.

The scooter gets a 1.6kWh Li-ion removable battery, which takes 3.5 hours to charge from zero to 100 per cent. This battery holds enough charge to last up to a little less than 50km and top speed is 50km. Because of its user-friendly nature, the battery can be removed from under the seat very easily. This scooter costs Rs 2 lakh in the American market.
