Yulu Wynn electric scooter: Highlights
The Yulu Wynn e-scooter will be available in Bangalore, Karnataka at first before arriving in other cities across the country sometime later this year. The company will provide various subscription packages depending on requirements of its customers.
Yulu has designed the Wynn for personal ownership and easy mobility. Customers do not need to register the e-scooter at any RTO nor require a driver's licence to ride it. The Wynn gets a swappable battery pack. Owners can swap its battery pack at any battery swapping station of the Yuma Energy - a joint venture of Yulu and Magna. Not only that, the users can also charge the Wynn at home using an optional portable charger. Currently, Yuma Energy has over 100 battery swapping stations and it aims to expand its network to 500 swapping stations by the end of this year.

It is interesting to note that Yulu will manufacture the Wynn EV at the CTL (Chetak Technology Limited) plant in Akurdi, Pune, Maharashtra. Inaugurated in June 2022, the CTL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Bajaj Auto. Bajaj Auto manufactures the all-electric Chetak at the facility. The CTL has an annual production capacity of 500,000 two-wheeler electric vehicles. Notably, the iconic Chetak scooter was born at the same facility way back in 1970.
"Ever since we started out, we have been flooded with requests from our shared mobility users to buy our smart-sized EVs for personal ownership. Listening to our customers, we are very excited to introduce the Wynn - our first vehicle for full ownership. It's India's 1st Electric two-wheeler for easy-mobility that offers not just an intelligent commute option but also disrupts the whole ownership experience that is built on the deep customer understanding and mobility tech Yulu has built by running India's largest shared last-mile mobility services for millions of kms. It is a very compelling offering that will make customers pause, re-evaluate and change their mobility choices. Wynn will enable everyone to 'Ride their freedom' in their own ways," said Amit Gupta, Co-founder and CEO, Yulu.
