BENGALURU: Bengaluru electric scooter maker E3 Electric.AI lists its Trion family scooter from Rs 99,999, ex-showroom Bengaluru, on its official product page. Three versions are on sale, the C1, C1x and C2, priced at Rs 99,999, Rs 1,09,999 and Rs 1,19,999 respectively, price as of 9 October 2026, 7:05 AM IST.
The entry price puts the Trion just under the Rs 1 lakh mark that matters to many first-time electric scooter buyers this festive season. The range claim of up to 165 km on one version also places it against established names. Here is what each variant offers, and the points buyers should confirm before paying a token.
E3 Trion variant prices and range
The Trion C1 costs Rs 99,999 and is the only version E3 lists with a removable battery. It uses a 2.3 kWh pack and has a claimed IDC range of 108 km. The removable pack is useful for buyers in apartments who cannot run a cable to a parking spot.
The C1x costs Rs 1,09,999 and is labelled the highest-range version. It has a 3.0 kWh battery and a claimed IDC range of 165 km. The C2, at Rs 1,19,999, is tagged as the high-performance version. It shares the 3.0 kWh battery but has a lower claimed IDC range of 128 km, which is the usual trade-off when a scooter is tuned for quicker acceleration.
All three prices are listed under an ex-showroom Bengaluru heading. E3's terms of service describe all website pricing as indicative, and registration, road tax, insurance and accessories will add to the final on-road cost. Buyers outside Bengaluru should expect a different figure.
For comparison with a rival in the same bracket, see our report on the Ampere Nexus EX Plus at Rs 1,29,999 with 136 km range.
Features common to all three
According to the product page, every Trion rides on 14-inch wheels and gets turn-by-turn navigation and the company's Ergoride seat. E3 uses a hub motor with what it calls a patented weld-free RotoRing design, which it says cuts vibration and makes servicing easier.
E3 works out running costs using an energy use figure of 28 Wh/km for the Trion, with electricity at Rs 9 per unit. These are company assumptions for its savings calculator, not test results, and actual costs will depend on local tariffs and riding style.
Warranty: read the fine print
The product page shows battery warranty as "up to 8 years" for all three variants, marked with an asterisk, and calls the cover extendable on the C2. E3's separate written warranty policy, however, states that the battery is covered for 5 years or 75,000 km, and major components for 3 years or 50,000 km, whichever comes first.
The simplest reading is that the longer figure includes some form of extended cover, but the company's pages do not spell out how. Buyers should ask for the warranty terms in writing at the time of booking, including what is standard and what is a paid extension. The policy also asks owners to keep the battery charged above 20 percent and to use approved chargers.
Availability and booking
E3's only listed experience centre is in Koramangala, Bengaluru, with Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kolkata and Delhi marked as coming soon. The company has not published a delivery announcement of its own on its newsroom page. Its booking FAQ says delivery timelines depend on city and variant, and that an estimated window is shared once a booking is confirmed.
The FAQ describes the reservation token as fully refundable before delivery, while the terms of service say the pre-booking amount is non-refundable if the customer cancels, unless E3 itself cancels the booking. Anyone reserving a Trion should get the refund condition confirmed in writing.
What it means for buyers
Electric scooters under Rs 1.2 lakh are the busiest part of the market this Diwali. Our PM E-DRIVE subsidy guide explains how the central incentive affects the sticker price of eligible models. The Trion's listed prices make it an option to test ride in Bengaluru, but buyers elsewhere will need to wait for E3 to open sales in their city.
