E-went
Electric mobility is gaining momentum in India, and E-WENT, the electric two-wheeler arm of Saraogi E-VENTURES, is leading the charge with its robust and affordable offerings. The company has announced ambitious expansion plans, aiming to capture a significant share of India’s growing EV market. With over 15,000 units already on the road and a network of 250 dealers, E-WENT is positioning itself as a key player in the sector.
Backed by the Saraogi Group’s 50-year legacy in energy, shipping, and finance, E-WENT recently secured $5 million in external funding, supplemented by $2 million from internal reserves. This financial boost is set to fuel manufacturing expansion, research and development, and nationwide market penetration. The company currently operates assembly plants in Kolkata and Hyderabad, with plans for a third facility in western India by 2027.
E-WENT’s flagship model, the Lightning, is designed specifically for Indian road conditions. It features a 3.4 kWh dual lithium-ion battery system, which can be easily detached and charged at home, work, or dealer stations. This is a game-changer in regions where public charging infrastructure is lacking. The scooter boasts a 3.7 kW BLDC hub motor, delivering a top speed of 70 km/h and an impressive range of up to 150 km per charge.
Practicality meets premium in the Lightning, which comes loaded with features like telescopic suspension, dual disc brakes, LED projector headlamps, reverse assist, and a digital instrument cluster. These additions make it a compelling choice for Indian consumers looking for durability and convenience in their daily commute.
Durability is a core focus for E-WENT. The company reports a warranty claim rate of under 1.5% over three years, a testament to the reliability of their products. Dealers are required to maintain robust service infrastructure, supported by a 7-day helpline and 24-hour parts dispatch system. Training programs ensure that dealers are well-equipped to provide consistent customer support.
To make EVs more accessible, E-WENT is rolling out innovative solutions like its Scooter-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for fleet operators. This pay-per-kilometer approach reduces upfront costs, making it easier for businesses to adopt electric mobility. The company is also collaborating with banks and NBFCs to offer affordable financing options for retail buyers.
Currently operational in seven states, including West Bengal, Odisha, and Telangana, E-WENT has its sights set on pan-India coverage within the next five years. Its hybrid sales model combines company-owned showrooms, dealerships, and corporate partnerships to ensure flexible and scalable market access.
Every E-WENT vehicle is built with a 5-6 year lifecycle in mind, and expired batteries are recycled through authorized partners, aligning with environmental regulations. Umang Saraogi, Director of E-WENT, emphasizes their commitment to delivering long-term value. “We’re not chasing subsidies or hype,” he says. “Our focus is on building EVs that are accessible, reliable, and tailored to the Indian consumer.”
With EV penetration in India’s two-wheeler segment still in single digits, E-WENT sees a vast opportunity to build a trusted brand that prioritizes affordability, smart technology, and customer satisfaction. Their growing dealer network and low warranty claim rate underscore their dedication to quality and reliability.
