Zelio E Mobility launches facelifted Gracy+ electric scooter with multiple battery options
Zelio E Mobility has launched an updated version of its low-speed electric scooter, the Gracy+, aimed at urban commuters seeking cost-effective and practical transport solutions. The facelift introduces several functional enhancements while keeping the scooter accessible in terms of pricing, with ex-showroom rates beginning at ₹58,000. The revised Gracy+ is now available in six different battery configurations, including both Lithium-Ion and Gel battery options. The top-range variants—offering up to 130 km on a single charge—are particularly tailored for users covering longer daily distances. With a modest top speed of 25 km/h, the scooter falls within the low-speed category, making it accessible to a wider range of users without the need for a driving license in most Indian states. From a technical perspective, the Gracy+ facelift focuses on usability rather than performance upgrades. It comes equipped with a 60/72V BLDC motor and claims a power efficiency of 1.8 units per full charge. The scooter's ground clearance has been raised to 180 mm to better tackle typical Indian road conditions. With a gross weight of 88 kg and the ability to carry up to 150 kg, the Gracy+ is positioned as a practical option for delivery agents, office-goers, and students alike. Charging times vary significantly between battery types, with Lithium-Ion versions requiring about four hours, while Gel variants take between eight and twelve hours. The model also includes braking upgrades—a drum brake at the front and a disc brake at the rear—along with hydraulic shock absorbers for added comfort. The tyres—90-90/12 in the front and 90-100/10 at the rear—are standard but adequate for city use. In terms of features, the Gracy+ gets a digital display, keyless start, DRLs, anti-theft alarm, USB charging port, parking gear, and a pillion footrest. It is offered in four colour choices: White, Grey, Black, and Blue. While the updates do not radically alter the scooter's role in Zelio's lineup, they reflect a clear intent to refine the product based on commuter feedback and real-world challenges. The company is also backing the product with service assurances—providing a two-year vehicle warranty, a three-year warranty for Lithium-Ion batteries, and one year for Gel batteries. This launch comes at a time when Zelio E Mobility is expanding its reach in the Indian market. Founded in 2021, the company has already established over 400 dealerships and serves more than two lakh customers. With a goal of crossing 1,000 dealerships by the end of 2025, the Gracy+ facelift is expected to play a role in furthering the brand's visibility and acceptance, especially in the budget-conscious and utility-driven segment of electric mobility.

Under the free trade deal between the two countries, cars imported from Britain in India are likely to get significantly cheaper as the automobile tariff will likely fall from the current over 100 per cent to 10 per cent. However, this tax benefit is subject to a quota. Cars imported from Britain to India are expected to see significant price benefit owing to the FTA between the two countries. While announcing the FTA, Indian PM Narendra Modi said in a post on X, 'In a historic milestone, India and the UK have successfully concluded an ambitious and mutually beneficial Free Trade Agreement, along with a Double Contribution Convention."

However, talks on the proposed bilateral investment treaty between the two countries are still on, Reuters has reported. The FTA is expected to double bilateral trade between India and the UK significantly by 2030. India-UK FTA: Which cars to be cheaper Some of the most luxurious car brands hail from the UK, including automakers like Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, Bentley, Mini, etc. Demand for such cars in India has shot up in the past couple of years, with a growing focus on ultra-luxury passenger vehicles, especially from the rich consumers as well as new generation buyers.

The majority of the cars from these brands are imported to India via the Completely Built Unit (CBU) route. Now with the FTA in place, despite the CBU route being followed, the consumers of these cars are likely to pay less than what they used to till date. However, there is a quota for the benefit's availability and the number specified under the quota is yet to be revealed.
