Overview
- E3 Electric.AI officially unveiled the Trion range on Thursday, offering three variants — C1, C1x and C2 — and opened pre-bookings in Bengaluru ahead of a wider launch.
- Introductory ex-showroom prices start at about Rs 99,999 for the C1, Rs 1.09–1.10 lakh for the C1x and Rs 1.19–1.20 lakh for the C2.
- The company positions the Trion as an AI‑driven scooter with an E3 CommandCenter and TripSense suite that provide predictive diagnostics, over‑the‑air software updates, navigation with charger locations, remote battery monitoring, geofencing, SOS assistance and a 5‑inch connected display.
- All models use LFP (lithium iron phosphate) battery chemistry with removable 2.3 kWh packs on the C1 and fixed 3 kWh packs on the C1x/C2, plus an extended battery warranty up to eight years or 100,000 km; IDC lab ranges are claimed up to 165 km for the C1x but real‑world range will likely be lower.
- Key open items for buyers are verified motor outputs and on‑road range, a delivery schedule the company says begins in September, and the startup’s untested after‑sales and service network that will determine everyday ownership experience.
