The Bengaluru-based electric scooter start-up River has reopened bookings for the Indie, its flagship model.

Potential customers can reserve the Indie by paying Rs 2,500 online. Furthermore, an on-site booking option is available at the recently opened showroom in Bengaluru, as reported by Autocar.

The Indie’s large storage capacity is one of its standout qualities. With 43 litres tucked under the seat and an additional 12 litres in the glove compartment, it offers an incredible 55 litres of space to store your belongings.

The Indie is a great option for people who require extra space because it comes with extra accessories like floor cages, top boxes, and hard panniers to make sure you never run out of room for your gear.

The River Indie was introduced in February 2023, and its first few units left the Hoskote manufacturing plant in August of the same year. For the first batch of Indie scooters, bookings opened one month later, and by the end of the month, there were over 200 orders. Moreover, the first shipment of scooters was made to Bengaluru-based clients in October 2023.

The company – River which was founded in 2021, raised new money last year with major contributions from numerous other investors, led by the Al Futtaim Group.
