E-WENT, the electric mobility division of Saraogi E-VENTURES and a growing name among Indian OEMs for electric two-wheelers, has announced a major expansion plan as it accelerates production and deepens its distribution network across the country. Known for its durable and cost-effective scooters designed for Indian roads, the company is now setting its sights on a larger share of India’s value-focused EV segment.
Having already deployed over 15,000 scooters and established a network of 250 dealers, E-WENT is actively scaling up operations. Backed by the Saraogi Group’s five-decade legacy in energy, shipping, and finance, the company recently secured $5 million in external funding, along with an additional $2 million from internal sources. These funds will go toward expanding manufacturing capacity, strengthening R&D, and extending the company’s reach nationwide.
E-WENT currently operates two assembly facilities in Kolkata and Hyderabad. A third unit is in the pipeline, with plans to establish it in western India by 2027.
The company’s flagship model, the Lightning, features a dual 3.4 kWh detachable lithium-ion battery system paired with a 3.7 kW BLDC hub motor. Capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 km/h and delivering a range of over 150 km per charge, the scooter is built for convenience and flexibility. The portable battery design allows users to charge at home, work, or at any authorized E-WENT outlet — a practical solution for areas where public EV infrastructure is still developing.
Certified for Indian roads, the Lightning is equipped with telescopic suspension, dual 220mm disc brakes, LED projector headlamps, a reverse assist function, and a large digital instrument display. The focus is on blending utility with smart features, ensuring a high level of comfort and safety for everyday use.
Durability remains a key part of E-WENT’s offering. The company reports a warranty claim rate of under 1.5% over three years. Every dealership is required to maintain a robust service setup, backed by a dedicated seven-day helpline and a 24-hour parts dispatch service. Dealer staff undergo hands-on technical training at E-WENT’s facilities to maintain consistent support standards across locations.
In a move to improve affordability and fleet viability, the company is also developing a Scooter-as-a-Service (SaaS) model for commercial operators. This will allow users to pay based on kilometers used, removing the high upfront ownership cost. On the retail front, E-WENT is expanding its financing options in partnership with banks and NBFCs to provide flexible EMIs and lease-based ownership.
Currently operational in West Bengal, Odisha, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Assam, E-WENT plans to extend its footprint to a pan-India presence within the next five years. Its hybrid retail model—comprising company-run outlets, dealerships, and corporate tie-ups—offers a scalable and adaptable approach to market penetration.
All E-WENT scooters are built with a 5–6 year lifecycle and come with comprehensive warranty terms. Used batteries are recycled through authorized partners in line with environmental regulations, reinforcing the company’s sustainability commitment.
Umang Saraogi, Director at E-WENT, shared the company’s vision:
“Our goal is to build electric vehicles that are reliable, affordable, and suited for Indian conditions. We’re not chasing trends or subsidies — we’re focused on delivering genuine value through tough, intelligently designed products and dependable service. With electric two-wheeler adoption still in its early stages, there’s immense potential to create a trusted, customer-first brand.”
