Komaki, a leading Indian electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, has unveiled its latest offerings, the SE and LY electric scooters, designed to combat a major concern for potential EV buyers – range anxiety. These innovative scooters boast not one, but two batteries, extending their claimed range to an impressive 200km.
Addressing the Range Issue:
Traditionally, electric scooter range has been a limiting factor. Komaki’s dual-battery approach significantly addresses this concern. The SE and LY come in three variants:

This extended range surpasses most electric scooters in its segment, making it a compelling choice for riders seeking a longer commute or extended exploration on a single charge.
