The German automaker BMW is going to make a debut with their electric scooter in India. BMW is all set to launch its premium luxury electric scooter in the Indian market after a year of its unveiling in the global market. But, this BMW scooter will come with a price tag of more than 14 Lakhs in India. That is a huge amount of money for a middle-class family in India.
The Indian market for two-wheelers is very big, but the people don’t want to purchase anything that would cost them their savings. In India, people usually purchase cars worth Rs. 8 to 10 Lakhs. So, the price tag of this premium electric scooter seems a bit off from the Indian Two-wheeler market. Also, BMW is seeking the Chinese market for its new launch.
Let’s read more about this electric scooter and its launch in India.
