Braking - The Most Important Upgrade on the X-Men 2.0
Zelio X-Men+: Front disc brake + Rear drum brake
Zelio X-Men 2.0: Front disc brake + Rear disc brake
Dual disc brakes give more balanced stopping across front and rear. In hard braking, the rear disc prevents the wheel lock that a drum brake can cause. In wet conditions, dual discs stay consistent where drum brakes feel spongy or delayed.
For heavier riders, pillion riders, or anyone in fast-moving city traffic, the dual disc setup on the X-Men 2.0 is a direct daily safety upgrade. If you carry a pillion regularly, this alone justifies choosing the 2.0.
Suspension - Telescopic Front and Spring Loaded Rear on X-Men 2.0
Zelio X-Men+: Hydraulic suspension (front and rear)
Zelio X-Men 2.0: Front telescopic + Rear spring-loaded suspension
Telescopic forks absorb bumps with more travel, giving the front end a planted feel over rough surfaces. Spring-loaded rear handles both light and heavy loads better than a basic hydraulic unit.
On mixed roads with speed breakers and potholes, the X-Men 2.0 rides noticeably more comfortably over 40-50 km daily. On clean city roads the difference is smaller.
Battery - X-Men 2.0 Offers a More Powerful Lithium Option
Zelio X-Men+ battery options:
- Gel: 60V Lithium
- Lithium: 60V/30AH
Zelio X-Men 2.0 battery options:
- Gel: 60V/32AH or 72V/32AH
- Lithium: 60V/30AH or 74V/32AH
The X-Men 2.0’s 74V/32AH lithium battery is a higher-capacity option not available on the X-Men+. A 74V/32AH lithium pack means more energy stored per charge, which translates directly into extended range and better performance under load. For riders who want the maximum possible range from a Zelio X-Men scooter, the X-Men 2.0’s top lithium variant is the stronger option.
Both scooters share the same 1.5 units per charge electricity cost at the base level, keeping running costs identical for everyday commuters.
Weight Capacity - X-Men 2.0 Built for Heavier Loads
The Zelio X-Men 2.0 is rated for a weight capacity of 180 kg with a gross vehicle weight of 90 kg. This makes it one of the more capable load-bearing electric scooters in Zelio’s lineup at this price point.
The X-Men+ does not publish an explicit 180 kg weight rating. For heavier riders, riders who frequently carry a pillion, or anyone transporting additional load daily, the X-Men 2.0’s rated capacity gives genuine confidence that the scooter is engineered for that use.
Design
Both scooters share the bold, sporty X-Men design language with 90-100/10 wide tyres that give them a planted, confident road stance.
The X-Men 2.0 is available in Green, White, Silver, and Red – four distinct colour options that make it one of the more visually distinctive scooters in Zelio’s lineup. The green variant in particular is a unique colour choice not commonly found in this segment.
Both share LED lighting, digital speedometer, keyless drive, and anti-theft alarm. The design identity is consistent across both models.
Features
Both the Zelio X-Men+ and X-Men 2.0 come with:
Keyless drive, anti-theft alarm, USB port, LED lighting, digital speedometer, alloy wheels, parking gear, 1.5 units per charge electricity cost, 2-year warranty on motor, controller and frame, 3-year warranty on lithium battery, no driving licence required, no RTO registration required, home charging from a standard 5-amp socket.
The X-Men 2.0 differentiates itself on: dual disc brakes, telescopic front suspension, spring-loaded rear suspension, 180 kg weight capacity, and the 74V/32AH lithium battery option.

- You are an experienced rider comfortable with front disc and rear drum braking
- You want a sporty, head-turning electric scooter under Rs 65,000 with proven Zelio reliability
