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.

Who Should Buy the Zelio X-Men+?

Buy the Zelio X-Men+ if:

  • Your budget is firm under Rs 65,000 and you want the boldest Zelio scooter in that range
  • You ride solo on city roads and do not regularly carry a pillion
  • Your daily commute is under 40 km and gel battery range is sufficient
  • 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

Explore Zelio X-Men+ – Rs 66,184

Who Should Buy the Zelio X-Men 2.0?

Buy the Zelio X-Men 2.0 if:

  • You can stretch to Rs 75,000 and want Zelio’s most upgraded X-Men variant
  • You regularly carry a pillion or are a heavier rider who needs the 180 kg weight capacity
  • You ride on mixed roads with rough patches and want the comfort of telescopic and spring-loaded suspension
  • You want dual disc brakes for more balanced, confident stopping in all conditions
  • You want the 74V/32AH lithium battery option for the highest available range in this model family
  • You ride in heavy or unpredictable city traffic where dual disc braking makes a real safety difference

EV Scooter Subsidy in Rajasthan 2026: Road Tax Waiver, State Grant and Low-Speed Options
Electric Scooters
12 Nov, 2026

EV Scooter Subsidy in Rajasthan 2026: Road Tax Waiver, State Grant and Low-Speed Options

If you are planning to buy an electric scooter in Rajasthan in 2026, you may be eligible for more than one government benefit. The Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy 2022 provides for motor vehicle tax and green tax exemptions, along with purchase incentives for eligible electric two-wheelers. The central PM E-DRIVE scheme also provides incentives for qualifying registered electric scooters. However, not every electric scooter qualifies for every benefit. The amount depends on the vehicle category, battery configuration, registration status and availability of incentives. If you are looking for an affordable electric scooter for everyday travel, Zelio offers another option worth considering. Its low-speed electric scooters do not require registration, a number plate or a driving licence, helping keep the overall cost of ownership lower. Let's understand how much an EV scooter subsidy in Rajasthan can offer, who qualifies and how low-speed Zelio scooters fit into the picture. What's in this article Is There a Subsidy on Electric Scooters in Rajasthan in 2026? How Much State Subsidy Can You Get on an Electric Scooter in Rajasthan? What Is the Road Tax Waiver on Electric Scooters in Rajasthan? Is There a Central Government Subsidy on Electric Scooters in Rajasthan? Do These Subsidies Apply to Zelio Electric Scooters? What Is the Running Cost of a Zelio Electric Scooter? Why Should You Choose a Low-Speed Electric Scooter Over a Registered High-Speed Scooter? Five Things to Check Before Buying an Electric Scooter in Rajasthan Frequently Asked Questions Is There a Subsidy on Electric Scooters in Rajasthan in 2026? Rajasthan's Electric Vehicle Policy 2022 provides for financial incentives and tax exemptions to encourage electric vehicle adoption. The policy was notified on 31 August 2022 and came into effect on 1 September 2022, with a five-year validity period. This means its policy period extends into 2027. For electric two-wheeler buyers, the policy lists the following benefits: Upfront purchase incentives based on battery capacity. Exemption from motor vehicle tax. Exemption from green tax. SGST reimbursement for eligible electric vehicles, subject to the policy conditions. There is one important distinction: the policy's published incentive table specifies a target of 1 lakh electric two-wheelers, and the purchase incentive is not an unlimited benefit available automatically to every buyer. You should confirm whether the applicable incentive allocation and reimbursement process are currently active before including any subsidy in your purchase budget. How Much State Subsidy Can You Get on an Electric Scooter in Rajasthan? Under the Rajasthan EV Policy 2022, the state purchase incentive for electric two-wheelers depends on the battery configuration. The policy provides the following incentive ranges: Battery configuration State purchase incentive Fixed battery ₹5,000-₹10,000 Swappable battery ₹2,000-₹5,000 These incentives are intended for up to 1 lakh electric two-wheelers under the policy. In addition to the purchase grant, Rajasthan provides for 100% SGST reimbursement on eligible electric vehicles. This is a separate benefit from the fixed or swappable battery incentive. Who qualifies for the Rajasthan EV subsidy? The policy specifies that eligible vehicles must meet the following conditions: Purchase in Rajasthan: The vehicle must be purchased within the state. Registration in Rajasthan: It must be registered in Rajasthan. Advanced battery: The vehicle must have an advanced battery and meet the applicable technical and testing requirements. Eligible vehicle category: Electric two-wheelers, including personal and transport vehicles, are covered by the policy. The state incentive is not restricted to a particular income group or gender in the published EV policy. Eligibility is primarily based on the vehicle and its compliance with the scheme conditions. Is the state subsidy actually available in 2026? The Rajasthan government constituted a ₹200 crore Electric Vehicle Promotional Fund in February 2025 to support EV purchase incentives and SGST reimbursement. The 2026-27 Output-Outcome Budget also records a ₹200 crore financial outlay for the fund and a previous achievement of ₹6.87 crore in released subsidy. This confirms that the state has made a financial provision for EV promotion. However, the budget allocation alone does not guarantee that every application will receive immediate payment. Before purchasing, ask the authorised dealer to confirm: Whether the particular scooter is listed as eligible. Whether its battery configuration qualifies for the state grant. Whether the subsidy application can currently be submitted. Whether the benefit will be adjusted in the purchase invoice or reimbursed later. For buyers, this distinction matters because a published subsidy amount and an amount actually available at the time of purchase are not always the same. What Is the Road Tax Waiver on Electric Scooters in Rajasthan? Apart from the purchase incentive, Rajasthan's EV policy provides an exemption from motor vehicle tax and green tax under the Rajasthan Motor Vehicle Taxation Act, 1951. For someone purchasing a registered electric scooter, this can reduce the initial ownership expense. Unlike a purchase subsidy, which is a fixed amount based on battery configuration, the tax exemption depends on the applicable vehicle tax. Therefore, there is no single fixed rupee amount that every electric scooter buyer saves. Here is a quick comparison: Benefit What it means Motor vehicle tax exemption Eligible EVs are exempt from the applicable motor vehicle tax Green tax exemption Eligible EVs are exempt from the applicable green tax State purchase grant ₹5,000-₹10,000 for fixed batteries and ₹2,000-₹5,000 for swappable batteries SGST reimbursement 100% reimbursement for eligible EVs, subject to policy conditions These exemptions are part of the Rajasthan EV policy. Buyers should ask the dealer to confirm their application under the latest RTO notifications and check that the applicable tax exemption is reflected in the registration documents. Is There a Central Government Subsidy on Electric Scooters in Rajasthan? In addition to state-level incentives, eligible registered electric two-wheelers can benefit from the central government's PM E-DRIVE scheme. The scheme provides a demand incentive based on battery capacity. For the current incentive structure: Incentive rate: ₹2,500 per kWh. Maximum benefit: ₹5,000 per vehicle. Vehicle price limit: Up to ₹1.5 lakh ex-factory. Battery requirement: Advanced battery technology. Eligible buyers: Private, corporate and commercial registered electric two-wheeler owners. The PM E-DRIVE scheme has been extended until 31 March 2028, although benefits remain subject to scheme conditions and available funds. For example, consider an eligible electric scooter with a 2 kWh battery: Particulars Amount Battery capacity 2 kWh Incentive per kWh ₹2,500 Calculated incentive ₹5,000 Maximum scheme benefit ₹5,000 The actual benefit is subject to vehicle certification, price limits and the applicable scheme calculation. One important point: PM E-DRIVE benefits are generally adjusted upfront through the manufacturer or dealer using the scheme's e-voucher mechanism. Buyers should check the eligible model list and ensure that the incentive is reflected in the purchase transaction. Do These Subsidies Apply to Zelio Electric Scooters? Not every electric scooter qualifies for government purchase incentives. The biggest distinction is between low-speed and registered high-speed electric scooters. Under the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, qualifying low-speed battery-operated two-wheelers do not require vehicle registration, a number plate or a driving licence. Zelio's low-speed electric scooter range falls into this category. Its non-RTO scooter guide explains the applicable rules in more detail. Since Rajasthan's state purchase incentives and PM E-DRIVE benefits are linked to eligible vehicles purchased and registered under the respective schemes, Zelio's non-RTO scooters do not qualify for these purchase grants. However, that does not make them a less economical option. Low-speed scooters do not need registration or road tax payments in the first place. Buyers can avoid these ownership formalities while benefiting from an affordable purchase price and lower everyday running expenses. What about Zelio's high-speed Mystery? For buyers who need a registered electric scooter, Zelio also offers the Mystery . It is powered by a 72V/29Ah lithium-ion battery with approximately 2.09 kWh of capacity. The model comes with a three-year battery warranty and a two-year warranty on its frame, motor and controller. As a registered electric scooter, the Mystery is the type of vehicle to evaluate for Rajasthan's state tax exemption and purchase incentives, as well as PM E-DRIVE. However, its eligibility for the purchase grants must be confirmed separately. Battery capacity alone does not establish eligibility; the exact model must satisfy the scheme's certification, price and other conditions. Since the Mystery requires registration, buyers must also account for the applicable registration, insurance and driving licence requirements. What Is the Running Cost of a Zelio Electric Scooter? The purchase price is only one part of owning a scooter. Daily running expenses also matter, particularly for students, working professionals, shopkeepers and families who use their vehicles for short local journeys. Petrol scooters require regular fuel expenses, while electric scooters use electricity for charging. This makes electric mobility a practical option for people who want to manage their everyday travel budget. For a simple comparison, consider these indicative assumptions: Petrol scooter mileage: 40 km per litre. Petrol price: ₹105 per litre. Electric scooter charging cost: ₹0.25 per km, using an illustrative charging estimate. Daily distance Petrol per month Electric per month Monthly savings 15 km ₹1,181 ₹113 ₹1,068 30 km ₹2,363 ₹225 ₹2,138 45 km ₹3,544 ₹338 ₹3,206 Calculation assumes 30 riding days per month. Actual expenses depend on petrol prices, electricity tariffs, battery capacity, vehicle efficiency and riding conditions. For someone travelling 30 km every day, the indicative saving can exceed ₹25,000 annually. This is where Zelio electric scooter offers an advantage beyond government incentives. Even without a purchase subsidy, lower charging expenses can make everyday commuting more economical over time. Why Should You Choose a Low-Speed Electric Scooter Over a Registered High-Speed Scooter? Not everyone needs a high-speed electric scooter for everyday travel. If most of your journeys involve nearby markets, colleges, workplaces or neighbourhood errands, a low-speed electric scooter can be a more practical and economical choice. Unlike registered high-speed scooters, qualifying low-speed electric scooters offer simpler ownership with fewer formalities and lower upfront expenses. Here are some reasons to consider a low-speed electric scooter: No registration required: Qualifying low-speed scooters do not require RTO registration or a number plate, saving you from additional registration formalities. No driving licence required: Riders can use eligible low-speed scooters without a driving licence, making them convenient for everyday local mobility. No road tax: Since registration is not required, there is no registration-based road tax to pay. Lower initial investment: Low-speed scooters generally come at more affordable purchase prices, making electric mobility accessible to more households. Economical daily commuting: Lower charging expenses help reduce everyday travel costs compared with petrol scooters. Simple for short-distance travel: Whether you are visiting the local market, travelling to college or running household errands, a low-speed scooter can comfortably suit routine mobility needs. For students, homemakers, senior citizens and people who primarily travel within their neighbourhoods, these advantages make low-speed electric scooters a sensible option. With Zelio, you can explore a range of low-speed electric scooters designed around everyday mobility needs, without taking on the additional formalities associated with registered vehicles. When should you choose a registered scooter? If your daily commute involves longer distances, faster roads or a need for higher speeds, a registered electric scooter may be more suitable. You will need to account for registration, insurance and driving licence requirements, but you may also be able to access applicable government incentives. The important thing is to select a scooter based on your actual travel needs rather than choosing one simply because it advertises a higher subsidy. Five Things to Check Before Buying an Electric Scooter in Rajasthan Before finalising your purchase, keep these five points in mind: Check the vehicle category. Confirm whether the scooter is low-speed and non-RTO or a registered high-speed model. Verify state subsidy eligibility. Ask whether the exact model and battery configuration qualify for Rajasthan's purchase incentive. Confirm PM E-DRIVE eligibility. Check the manufacturer's certification, ex-factory price and availability of the central incentive. Compare battery warranty. Look at battery type, capacity, charging time and warranty coverage rather than considering only the purchase price. Understand the total ownership cost. Include charging expenses, insurance, maintenance and any applicable registration charges in your comparison. You should also review the manufacturer's warranty terms. You can refer to Zelio's warranty and claims policy before making your decision. The Bottom Line Rajasthan offers several benefits to encourage electric vehicle adoption in 2026. Its EV Policy 2022 provides for state purchase incentives of ₹5,000-₹10,000 on fixed-battery electric two-wheelers, ₹2,000-₹5,000 on swappable-battery models, SGST reimbursement and motor vehicle tax and green tax exemptions for eligible vehicles. The central PM E-DRIVE scheme adds another potential benefit of up to ₹5,000 on qualifying registered electric two-wheelers. However, if your priority is affordable everyday mobility rather than a government purchase grant, Zelio's low-speed electric scooters offer another practical route. With no registration, number plate or driving licence requirement under the applicable exemption, they help keep ownership simple and everyday travel economical. If you need higher speed, the registered Mystery is another option to explore, subject to confirmation of applicable incentives. Visit your nearest Zelio authorised dealer to compare models, battery options and prices before making your decision. Find a Zelio dealer near you . Disclaimer: Government incentives, tax exemptions, prices and warranty conditions are subject to applicable notifications and availability. State subsidy amounts mentioned above are policy provisions and should not be treated as guaranteed payments. Confirm the latest eligibility and disbursement status with the authorised dealer and Rajasthan Transport Department before purchasing.

Scooty Yojana Maharashtra 2026: Free Scooty Scheme, What Is Real and What Is Fake

Maharashtra does not offer a free scooty scheme in 2026 and there is no central PM Free Scooty Yojana either. The viral WhatsApp messages, YouTube videos and online links promising free scooters are fake and many of them are designed to collect personal information. What Maharashtra does offer is a purchase incentive of up to ₹10,000 and a motor vehicle tax waiver on new registered electric two-wheelers. The central PM E-DRIVE scheme also offers up to ₹5,000 on eligible high-speed electric scooters. If you are planning to buy an electric scooter without waiting for a scheme that does not exist, check out Zelio electric scooters . Zelio's low-speed range takes everyday electric mobility a step further. It needs no registration, number plate or road tax and costs more than ₹2,000 a month less to run than a petrol scooter. What's in this article Whether Maharashtra has a free scooty scheme in 2026 Free scooty schemes that are real in other states What Maharashtra really offers electric scooter buyers How these benefits apply to Zelio scooters Zelio Electric scooter running costs in Maharashtra Low-speed or registered: which one to buy Explore Zelio Electric Scooters for Different Everyday Needs Is There a Free Scooty Scheme in Maharashtra in 2026? No. Maharashtra has not announced an official free scooty scheme for 2026. There is no government notification, Government Resolution or application portal for a scheme called Scooty Yojana Maharashtra 2026. When Newschecker investigated a viral Marathi message offering free scooters to women and girls, it contacted the state's school education, women and child development and social welfare departments. All three departments confirmed that they do not run any such scheme. You may also come across websites describing a Maharashtra Scooter Yojana as awaited or upcoming. Treat these claims with caution. A government scheme becomes official only after the government announces it and no such announcement has been made. Free Scooty Schemes That Are Real in Other States Free scooty schemes do exist in some Indian states, but each has its own eligibility conditions and is meant for specific groups of students. Uttar Pradesh: The Rani Laxmibai Scooty Yojana promises free scooters to the top 5% of graduating girl students, according to a July 2026 report. Assam: The Pragyan Bharti Scheme rewards meritorious girls and includes an electric scooter option. Rajasthan: The Free Scooty Vitaran Yojana targets economically weaker sections, as the same report notes. These schemes are state-specific. A Maharashtra resident cannot claim benefits under them and Maharashtra does not have an equivalent free scooty scheme today. What Does Maharashtra Really Offer E-Scooter Buyers? While Maharashtra does not offer free scooters, it supports electric two-wheeler buyers through the Maharashtra Electric Vehicle Policy 2025. The policy runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2030. The benefits below apply to registered electric two-wheelers. They reduce the purchase cost, but they do not provide a free scooter. Benefit What it gives Who gets it State purchase incentive 10% of the ex-factory price, up to ₹10,000 per vehicle, for the first 1,00,000 electric two-wheelers Registered L1 and L2 electric two-wheelers sold and registered in Maharashtra Motor vehicle tax Full exemption for EVs sold and registered during the policy period Registered electric vehicles Central PM E-DRIVE incentive ₹2,500 per kWh, capped at ₹5,000, on registered electric two-wheelers with an ex-factory price up to ₹1.5 lakh Registered electric two-wheelers The central PM E-DRIVE incentive had a bumpy year. The two-wheeler incentive window lapsed on 31 July 2026. A Gazette notification dated 10 August 2026 reportedly restored it until 31 March 2028, subject to available funds. Do These Benefits Apply to a Zelio Scooter? Under Rule 2(u) of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, low-speed battery-operated two-wheelers do not require registration, a number plate or a driving licence. This keeps everyday riding simple. Zelio's low-speed electric scooters fall into this category. Our non-RTO scooter guide explains the rule in more detail. Since low-speed scooters do not require registration, they do not qualify for Maharashtra's purchase incentive or the PM E-DRIVE incentive. Both benefits apply to eligible registered electric two-wheelers. They remain a budget-friendly choice, though. With no registration or road tax to pay, affordable purchase prices and lower running costs make Zelio's low-speed scooters a practical option for everyday commuting. Most of Zelio's range offers low-speed electric mobility, but the Mystery offers a high-speed option powered by a 72V/29Ah lithium battery with approximately 2.09 kWh of capacity. It comes with a three-year battery warranty and a two-year warranty on the frame, motor and controller. As a registered electric scooter, the Mystery can qualify for Maharashtra's motor vehicle tax exemption and 10% state purchase incentive. On its ₹85,159 ex-showroom price, 10% comes to approximately ₹8,500. However, the incentive is calculated on the ex-factory price, so the final amount will differ. Its battery capacity could also make it eligible for a PM E-DRIVE incentive of approximately ₹5,200 at ₹2,500 per kWh. However, the scheme caps the incentive at ₹5,000 per vehicle, subject to the model and battery meeting the certification criteria. Since the Mystery requires registration, riders must also have a valid driving licence and insurance. What Is the Zelio Electric Scooter Running Cost in Maharashtra? With petrol prices fluctuating, the cost of daily travel can add up quickly. Switching to a Zelio electric scooter offers a more economical way to manage everyday commuting expenses. In September 2026, petrol prices in Maharashtra cities such as Akola and Bid were around ₹111-₹112 per litre. At these rates, a petrol scooter delivering 40 kilometres per litre costs approximately ₹2.78 per kilometre. In comparison, a Zelio electric scooter costs around ₹0.25 per kilometre to run, including charging losses. This electric running cost is based on an electricity rate of ₹7 per unit and an estimated consumption of around 2 units per full charge. Actual charging expenses may vary depending on your electricity tariff and distributor. Here is how the monthly running costs compare at different daily travel distances: Daily distance Petrol per month Electric per month Monthly savings Annual savings 15 km ₹1,249 ₹113 ₹1,136 ₹13,635 30 km ₹2,498 ₹225 ₹2,273 ₹27,270 45 km ₹3,746 ₹338 ₹3,409 ₹40,905 For someone travelling 30 kilometres every day, choosing a Zelio electric scooter can mean savings of approximately ₹80,000 over three years. That puts the maximum ₹5,000 PM E-DRIVE incentive for an eligible registered scooter into perspective: the savings from lower running costs can add up to much more over time. With Zelio, the advantage goes beyond the purchase price. Lower day-to-day running expenses make everyday commuting more affordable, helping you save on every kilometre you travel. Explore Zelio Electric Scooters for Different Everyday Needs Not every rider has the same commuting requirements. Some need a comfortable scooter for short city trips, while others may prefer a model with a different design, battery configuration or performance category. Zelio offers several electric scooter options across its range: Eeva Series: A practical choice for everyday commuting, with options such as Eeva and Eeva Eco LX. Little Gracy: A compact, easy-to-ride option for everyday personal mobility. Gracy Series: Designed for riders looking for a balance of style and everyday usability. Legender+: Another option in Zelio's low-speed scooter range. Mystery: A high-speed electric scooter for riders who need a registered vehicle and want a different level of performance. Your final choice should depend on your daily travel distance, preferred battery type, budget and whether you need a low-speed or high-speed scooter. For Maharashtra buyers, it is worth noting that the prices published in Zelio's state-wise electric scooter price list cover Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab. These prices should not be treated as Maharashtra showroom prices. Contact your nearest Zelio authorised dealer for the latest model-wise prices and available battery configurations. Before making a purchase, also compare the warranty coverage. Zelio provides a two-year warranty on the motor, controller and frame, while battery warranty coverage ranges from one to three years, depending on the model and battery type. You can check the warranty and claims policy for further details. The Bottom Line Maharashtra has no free scooty scheme and viral links promising free scooters are fake. The state's real benefits are a purchase incentive and a motor vehicle tax waiver on eligible registered electric two-wheelers. A Zelio low-speed scooter offers a different kind of saving: no registration, no road tax, no driving licence and a running cost about a tenth of petrol. If you need higher speed and longer range, the registered Mystery can also benefit from Maharashtra's state incentives and motor vehicle tax exemption, along with the central PM E-DRIVE incentive if eligible. Either way, you save money every month you ride. Visit your nearest Zelio dealer to compare models and confirm the on-road price. Find a dealer near you .
