Boom Motors, a Coimbatore-based EV manufacturer, has launched its first electric scooter named the Corbett 14 for the Indian market. Unveiled in two variants – Corbett 14 and Corbett 14-EX, Boom Motors has priced the base version at INR 86,999. Meanwhile, the EX version of the Corbett 14 costs INR 1,19,999, with both price tags being ex-showroom based.
Boom Motors plan to hike the prices of the base and EX versions by INR 3,000 and 5,000, respectively. The company has already started its online bookings for the e-scooter at an INR 500 token amount. According to Boom Motors, the commencement of deliveries for the e-scooter will begin from January 2022. The company offers the e-scooter in 4 colour options- Whale Blue, Beetle Red, Mantis Green, and Panther Black.
Competing against eBikeGo’s Rugged G1 and G1 Plus, the Corbett 14 showcases a minimalist yet unique moped-style design. The e-scooter features a circular LED headlamp, a straight-lined handlebar, and forward-set footpegs with very few body panels. Due to its moped-themed styling, the e-scooter does not have a large footboard, which impedes legroom and onboard storage. The e-scooter sports a distinct exoskeletal frame extending towards the rear to form a grab rail to complete the look.
Boom Motors offers the base Corbett 14 with a 3 kW electric motor powered by a 2.3 kWh battery. With IP6 dust and water certification, the base Corbett 14 sports a driving range of 100 Km per charge. Meanwhile, the EX version gets a 4kW electric motor powered by dual 4.6 kWh swappable battery packs.
This enables the EX variant to offer a driving range of 200 Km per charge. The base and EX variants of the Corbett 14 sport a top speed of 65 kmph and 75 kmph, respectively. Both versions of the e-scooter take 2.5 to 4 hours to charge using a 220V, 5A, 3-pin plug.
The e-scooter features a double-cradle chassis made of high tensile steel for enhanced durability and safety. With the chassis covered under a 7-year warranty, the bike also sports an IoT-developed in-house portable battery pack. Both variants get 14-inch wheels and an anti-dive 4-point adjustable front suspension with a 4-point adjustable rear suspension.
The base variant gets synchro disc brakes for braking performance, whereas the EX version gets combination disc brakes. Additionally, the company offers the e-scooter with 30 litres of under-seat storage and an app to track petrol savings. The app also enables the rider to track CO2 emissions and activate parental mode for extra safety and security.
