Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:29 AM The Avon E Star boasted a claimed range of up to 65 km on a single charge, which is respectable for an electric scooter in its class. This range made it suitable for daily commuting within city limits. However, the actual mileage could vary based on factors such as road conditions, load, and riding style. The scooters 1.58 kWh lead-acid battery was the key to its range, but the long charging time of 6-8 hours was a significant drawback. Despite this, the mileage was adequate for short to medium distance commutes, making it a practical choice for those with limited travel needs. ABOUT The Avon E Star was an electric scooter designed with the Indian market in mind, focusing on affordability and practicality. It came equipped with a 1 kW BLDC motor and a 48 V, 33 Ah lead-acid battery, providing a top speed of 50 kmh. The scooter featured a halogen headlight, drum brakes at both the front and rear, and a comfortable single seat with a passenger footrest. The absence of ABS and a fuel gauge were notable omissions, but the inclusion of a low battery alert and pass switch added some convenience. With a load-carrying capacity of 120 kg, it was suitable for daily use, although its discontinuation means it is no longer available for purchase in the market. Despite its limitations, the E Star was a good option for those seeking a low-maintenance, budget-friendly electric scooter for short commutes.
