Kinetic Green has launched the Zulu electric scooter in India. The Zulu comes in two battery variants- one with the standard battery pack and the other with an oil-cooled setup. The new scooter starts with introductory prices of Rs 94,990 and Rs 1.05 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai) respectively. The new buyers can also opt for the company’s battery subscription scheme. This scheme allows price to go down even further (Rs 69,000 for the standard battery version) and requires the buyer to pay a monthly subscription fee for the battery, which can vary depending on how many kilometres they cover in a month.
