Essel Energy Wind — questions & answers
Do I need a driving licence to ride the Essel Energy Wind?+
No — since its motor power is 250 W and top speed is limited to 25 km/h, many Indian states exempt such scooters from licence and registration; but local laws vary.
What real-world range can I expect from the Wind compared to its claimed range?+
Under mixed city usage with stops, moderate traffic, and possibly a passenger, expect around 30-50 km for lower battery variants, and nearer to 55-65 km for the larger battery Li-ion variant.
How long does it take to fully charge the battery from 0-100 %?+
Using the standard charger, full charge is around 5-6 hours depending on battery variant.
Does the Wind come with hydraulic disc brakes?+
Yes — the higher battery Li-ion variants are claimed to have front & rear hydraulic disc brakes, though base Lead-Acid / lower variant may come with drum brakes.
