India’s electric revolution just got a big boost. Jio, known for changing the telecom game, has now stepped into the world of electric vehicles. The company has officially launched its very first electric scooter, and it’s already creating a huge buzz. Why? Because this new scooter offers a massive 330 km range and comes packed with premium features, all at a price under ₹1 lakh.
That’s a powerful mix of performance, price, and trust. And let’s be honest, if Reliance and Jio are backing something, people are going to pay attention.
Let’s talk about what this Jio Electric Scooter is all about. Is it worth the hype? What does it offer? And who should consider buying it?
Jio Enters the EV Space
We’ve seen Jio change how we use the internet and phones. Now, they’re taking on electric mobility. The goal is simple – make electric travel affordable, practical, and exciting for the Indian public.
The Jio Electric Scooter is part of their new plan to enter the green mobility space. Sources say Reliance has been working on this for over two years. And now, their first electric scooter is finally here.
Range of 330 Km: Is It Real?
This is the biggest talking point. Jio claims that its new electric scooter can go up to 330 km on a single charge. That’s more than any electric scooter currently on the market.
But let’s break this down a bit.
This 330 km range is possible in eco mode, where the scooter uses minimum power. If you ride in normal or sport mode, you will still get somewhere around 200–250 km, which is still fantastic.
This makes the Jio Electric Scooter perfect for:
- Daily office commutes
- Long weekend rides
- Delivery jobs
- Regular family use
Most people don’t even ride 50 km per day. So one full charge can last 4 to 5 days easily.
Battery and Charging
To give such a high range, Jio is using a large capacity lithium-ion battery. It’s removable in top models. That means you can take it out and charge it indoors.
Charging time depends on the charger you use:
- Fast charger: Charges 0 to 80% in 1 hour
- Standard charger: Full charge in 4 to 5 hours
Charging it at home is easy. No need to go to a charging station unless you’re in a rush.
The battery is also IP67 rated, which means it’s water and dust resistant. That’s good news for people riding in monsoon season.
Motor and Performance
The Jio electric scooter is powered by a 5kW mid-drive motor with peak output up to 8kW. It’s quiet but powerful.
Top speed is around 85 to 90 km/h, which is enough for city roads and even highways. The scooter goes from 0 to 40 km/h in just under 4 seconds.
There are three riding modes:
- Eco – Maximum range, smooth acceleration.
- Normal – Balanced mode for daily use.
- Sport – Fast acceleration, more power.
The scooter also has reverse assist, cruise control, and hill hold assist in top variants.
Smart Features That Stand Out
Jio wants to offer more than just an electric ride. They want a smart ride. So they’ve added some top-end features you usually see in premium bikes or cars.
Here’s what you get:
- 7-inch TFT touch screen dashboard
- Built-in 4G eSIM for internet connection
- JioDrive app to connect your scooter to your phone
- Navigation, ride stats, and vehicle tracking
- Voice commands for music, calls, and ride controls
- Keyless entry and remote unlock
- Anti-theft alerts with real-time GPS
The scooter’s screen also supports Jio apps like JioSaavn, JioCinema, and even calls through Jio network if connected to your phone.
Basically, your scooter becomes a part of your digital life.
Design and Comfort
Looks-wise, the Jio electric scooter is clean, sleek, and modern. It’s designed keeping young riders and families in mind.
Some design elements include:
- LED headlamp with DRL
- Split tail light
- Chrome inserts in premium variants
- Under-seat storage for helmets
- Flat floorboard for extra comfort
It’s available in six color options, including black, grey, red, blue, white, and a special dual-tone edition.
The seat is long and cushioned, perfect for two adults. Suspension is soft and handles bad roads well.
Safety Features
Safety hasn’t been ignored. The Jio scooter comes with:
- Disc brakes at both front and rear
- CBS (Combi Brake System)
- ABS in the top model
- Side stand alert
- Auto power cut-off if scooter falls
The frame is made from high-strength steel, which keeps it light but strong. It can carry weight up to 160 kg easily.
Variants and Price
Jio is launching the scooter in three variants:
- Standard – Basic features, 220 km range
- Plus – Extra features, 280 km range
- Ultra – All features, 330 km range
Starting price is around ₹89,000 (ex-showroom) for the base variant. Top variant is expected to cost around ₹99,900.
That puts all three under ₹1 lakh, which is a big deal considering what you get.
You can book the scooter now for just ₹4999 on the official Jio Motors website or at selected Reliance Digital outlets.
EMI and Subscription Plans
Jio is also offering easy finance options. You can get the scooter on EMI starting from ₹2,499 per month.
They’re even working on subscription plans where you don’t own the scooter but rent it monthly like a mobile plan. This is perfect for people who want flexibility.
Service and Warranty
Jio plans to set up EV hubs across major cities. These will offer:
- Charging stations
- Quick repair and service
- Battery swaps (future plan)
The scooter comes with:
- 3-year warranty on vehicle
- 5-year warranty on battery
- Free servicing for the first year
You can also book service online through the JioDrive app.
Who Is This Scooter For?
This scooter is built for all types of users:
- Young riders who want something smart and stylish
- Daily commuters who travel 30–50 km a day
- Delivery workers who need long range
- Women riders who want a lightweight and easy ride
- Eco-conscious users who want to reduce carbon footprint
It’s also great for people who want a scooter that connects with their digital lifestyle.
Real Rider Experience
Some early riders who tested the scooter say:
- The scooter feels very smooth.
- Acceleration is quick, even in normal mode.
- The screen and smart features are easy to use.
- Battery lasted for 4 full days with normal use.
- No heating issues even after long rides.
Minor complaints include:
- Display reflections in harsh sunlight
- App still getting updates
- Limited color options at launch
But overall, the response has been very positive.
Final Thoughts
The Jio Electric Scooter is more than just an electric ride. It’s a smart, long-range, and affordable machine made for India. With 330 km of range, fast charging, modern design, and smart connectivity, it checks all the right boxes.
And with a starting price under ₹1 lakh, it’s clearly aimed at mass adoption.
If you’ve been waiting to switch to electric, this could be the perfect moment. Jio has already changed the way we use phones and internet. It looks like they’re ready to change how we move too.
This is not just another scooter. This is the future, delivered on two wheels.
