On 6 November 2025, Zelio E‑Mobility surprised the city‑commuter market when it announced that the Zelio Eeva Series expanded with two new low‑speed electric scooters and a facelifted model. I followed the launch closely because these scooters aim to make electric two‑wheelers affordable and useful for daily riders. In this post, I’ll walk you through what’s new, the real‑world numbers, and who should consider booking one.
What’s new in the Zelio Eeva Series?
The updated lineup includes three versions: the Eeva Eco LX, the Eeva Eco ZX, and the facelifted Eeva ZX Plus. Zelio opened bookings at launch and made the new Eeva models available across its dealer network.
- Eeva Eco LX — starting at ₹51,551 (ex‑showroom).
- Eeva Eco ZX — starting at ₹53,551 (ex‑showroom).
- Eeva ZX Plus — facelifted model, from ₹65,051 (ex‑showroom).
Bookings are open and Zelio says the scooters will be available through its nationwide network of over 280 dealerships. The company is positioning the Eeva range toward budget‑minded urban commuters, gig riders, and female riders who want something practical and easy to use.
Powertrain, battery choices, and range
The new Eeva models stick to low‑speed, city‑focused setups. Here are the high‑level technical points I found useful:
- The Eco LX and Eco ZX use a 48/60V BLDC motor and quote a real‑world range in the 60–90 km span per full charge, depending on battery choice and riding conditions.
- The ZX Plus adds 60/72V motor options and multiple battery configurations, which help it reach the upper end of the ~90 km range when fitted with higher‑voltage lithium packs.
- Consumption is quoted at around 1.5 units per full charge — a handy figure for estimating running costs.
- Zelio offers both gel and lithium‑ion battery options across the range. Exact Ah and voltage options vary by model and trim.
In short, the Eeva models are tailored for short daily trips and city errands rather than long touring rides.
Features and practical use — what I like
These scooters come with a surprising level of kit for their price. Standard equipment includes:
- Digital display with useful readouts
- Keyless start and a Find‑Me function
- Cruise control for steady city cruising
- USB charging port for phones
- Anti‑theft alarm and immobiliser
- All‑LED lighting and centre lock
- Hydraulic suspension on entry models and a 36‑litre boot on the Eco LX
These are the kinds of features I appreciate when I ride in the city — they make daily life easier. For example, the USB port keeps my phone charged during navigation, and the Find‑Me helps when I park in crowded areas.
Here’s a simple cost example to illustrate running costs. If a full charge uses 1.5 units of electricity and you pay approximately ₹8 per unit (this is an example rate — your cost may vary):
- Cost per full charge = 1.5 × ₹8 = ₹12
- If you get 80 km on a charge, cost per km ≈ ₹0.15
This is a rough estimate, but it shows how cheap electric scooting can be for short trips and gig work. If you’re a delivery rider doing 60–100 km a day, your daily energy cost could be under ₹20 at these rates.
Who should consider the Zelio Eeva Series?
From my perspective, the Eeva line fits three main groups:
- Urban commuters who need a low‑cost, reliable ride for short trips and errands.
- Gig economy riders who value low running costs and a large under‑seat boot for deliveries.
- First‑time electric riders and female riders who want an easy, user‑friendly scooter with simple charging options.
Zelio backs the Eeva models with a two‑year warranty covering chassis and controller details. That gives extra peace of mind, especially at the affordable price points the company is targeting.
Model comparison at a glance
Below is a compact table that summarizes the main differences. Use this as a quick reference when you’re choosing which model fits your needs.
| Model | Starting Price (ex‑showroom) | Motor / Voltage | Range (approx.) | Key Additions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Eeva Eco LX | ₹51,551 | 48/60V BLDC | 60–80 km | 36‑litre boot, hydraulic suspension |
| Eeva Eco ZX | ₹53,551 | 48/60V BLDC | 60–90 km | Bolder stance, different tyre setup |
| Eeva ZX Plus (facelift) | From ₹65,051 | 60/72V options | Up to ~90 km | Front disc brake, higher voltage options |
Availability, bookings and real‑world notes
Zelio opened bookings at launch and these scooters are being sold through a dealer network of more than 280 outlets across India. If you want to test‑ride, I recommend contacting your local dealer to check stock and delivery timelines.
One real‑world note: the quoted ranges (60–90 km) will depend a lot on load, speed, and terrain. In my experience with similar low‑speed EVs, heavy city traffic and frequent stops reduce range, while steady cruising at moderate speeds stretches it closer to the upper figures.

Final Thoughts
The Zelio Eeva Series expansion is a smart play in an important market. With a starting price of just ₹51,551 for the Eeva Eco LX, useful features, and multiple battery options, these scooters give you an affordable entry into electric mobility. If you want a low‑cost city scooter for daily commutes, short delivery runs, or easy city rides, the Eeva range is worth considering. Bookings are open, so if you’re curious, visit a dealer and take one for a spin.
If you’d like, I can also pull the full spec table for each model (volt/Ah combos, kerb weight, top speed, charge time), or compare these Eeva prices and specs to rival low‑speed scooters in the same price band — just tell me which you prefer and I’ll prepare it.
