Acer Enters Indian EV Market with MUVI 125 4G: Collaboration with eBikeGo, 100km Range, and Swappable Batteries

Acer has marked its foray into the Indian electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem with the introduction of the MUVI 125 4G Electric Scooter. Partnering with eBikeGo, a prominent player in India's EV industry, Acer made the announcement at the highly publicized EV India Expo 2023 held in Greater Noida. With a scheduled launch around the Diwali festival this November, the scooter promises a combination of speed, efficiency, and sustainability.

Acer MUVI 125 4G Specifications:

Tipping the scales at just 83 kg, the MUVI 125 4G packs a punch when it comes to performance metrics. It can achieve a top speed of 60 km/h and has a long-lasting range of 100 km when used in its Eco mode. Fueled by a 3 kW electric motor, the scooter's capabilities are similar to a traditional 125 cc internal combustion engine scooter. Unique to this Acer-electric scooter is a "Data-driven Design," which contributes to the vehicle's overall functionality and user experience. The scooter is also equipped with 16-inch wheels that offer better handling and stability.

Swappable Battery Technology: A Game-Changer

One of the key selling points for the Acer MUVI 125 4G is its innovative swappable battery system. While swappable battery stations are still few in India, the introduction of this scooter may likely accelerate the establishment of more such facilities. This feature minimizes any operational downtime by offering quick battery replacements, making the scooter more efficient and user-friendly.

Origin and Expected Market Impact

Originally developed by the French technology firm Torrot, the manufacturing rights for the MUVI scooters were acquired by eBikeGo in 2021. Acer, now bringing this EV solution to India, is setting high expectations for the scooter’s market performance.

Future Implications for India's EV Scene

The MUVI 125 4G seems poised to be a practical and convenient choice for environmentally-conscious consumers in India. With Acer's tech prowess and eBikeGo's experience in electric mobility, the Indian EV market looks set for an exciting phase of innovation and growth.
