Price, service, resale and roads — here
- Price is widely quoted at Rs 2.91 lakh ex-showroom for the single E100 variant in Nepal, positioned as an under‑3‑lakh premium electric scooter.
- Multiple Nepali reviews highlight the E100 as well‑suited to Kathmandu city use, with enough range for typical office and delivery runs but limitations on steep hills and rough village roads.
- Service, sales and spare parts are handled by I Hub and its outlets (e.g., Jhamsikhel), which Nepali reviewers mention as the official Segway distributor.
- Nepali reviewers and commenters explicitly compare the E100 to petrol scooters for daily commuting cost, noting much lower running costs but uncertainty about long‑term resale value.
- Official distributor is I Hub Pvt Ltd in Nepal, pricing has shifted from Rs 291,000 to Rs 255,000 after a cut in mid-2025
- Ideal for city-use; owners report 50-60 km real range in Kathmandu valley with single rider
- Some concern over handling steep hills and rough/bumpy roads in Nepal because of 130 mm ground clearance
What owners rate
- Fast charging capability
- Balanced features and performance
- No need for petrol
- Smooth and comfortable for daily city commutes around Kathmandu, including Pathao-type usage.
- Good battery range for urban use, with many riders reporting around 55–65 km per full charge in real Kathmandu conditions.
- Large under-seat storage that easily fits a helmet and daily items, appreciated for office and shopping runs.
- Smart features like keyless start, mobile connectivity, cruise control and bright LED headlamp feel premium for the price.
- Low running cost, with a full charge costing only a few tens of rupees in electricity, making it cheaper than petrol for daily commuting.
What they complain about
- Too expensive, should be under 220k
- High cost compared to US pricing
- Ground clearance is low for Nepal's roads
- Electric scooters are generally expensive in Nepal
- Low ground clearance causes scraping on speed breakers and broken inner roads common in Kathmandu and other cities.
- Performance with a pillion is weaker, especially on steeper uphill sections.
- Seat and space can feel cramped for two larger adults, limiting comfort for double riding.
- Off‑road and badly maintained rural roads are not a strong point; the scooter is clearly tuned for smoother city surfaces.
