The demand for electric scooters in the country is continuously increasing. Many big companies like Ola, Bajaj Auto, and TVS are selling their electric scooters in the market. At the same time, seeing the increasing demand and interest from the people, many new companies are also entering this market. Recently, the news is spreading rapidly on social media that Patanjali, a big Ayurvedic company in the country, has also launched its electric scooter. But how much truth is there in this news, let's try to find out.

Patanjali needs no introduction. Its name is taken among some of the biggest companies of Ayurveda. However, when the news of Patanjali's entry into the electric scooter segment came out, many people were surprised. Some reports on social media and websites are claiming that Patanjali has launched India's most affordable electric scooter, which costs just Rs 14,000. Along with this claim, it has also been said that the scooter will run up to 440 kilometers on a single charge. But when the truth of this claim was investigated, the reality came out to be something else.

What is the truth about Patanjali's electric scooter?

In early May, some information about Patanjali electric scooters appeared on some websites. A website named EVMechanica shared the details of the launch of the Patanjali e-scooter in India. The biggest claim made about this scooter was that its range is 440 km and it was described as India's highest-range electric scooter. At the same time, the price of an electric scooter with such a high range was said to be just Rs 14,000. If you have even a little knowledge about automobiles, then you will understand that this claim is misleading. The thing to note is that till now Patanjali itself has not officially confirmed the launch of this scooter.

The big claim about the range of the scooter
The range of this scooter of Patanjali is told to be 440 km, but the electric scooter giving the highest range in India so far is Simple One, which has a range of 248 km. It comes with a 5.0 kWh battery. At the same time, a motorcycle named Ultraviolet Tesseract comes with a range of 261 km and has a 6kWh battery. Let us tell you that for a range of 440 km, a very large battery will be needed in the scooter, which is almost impossible to design for a scooter. The actual battery capacity of the scooter has also not been told.

Know the truth of the claim.

Not only this, the starting price of this scooter is said to be only Rs 14,000. That is, its price is less than a mid-range smartphone, which in itself raises many questions. From our investigation, the claims of Patanjali's electric scooter being made on social media seem completely baseless. The price and features being mentioned for the Patanjali electric scooter seem no less than a joke.
