AI-enabled scooter eyes the mass market

A small Manesar-based startup is adding intelligence to the plain old scooter as it tries to make its mark in a crowded two-wheeler market. Flow, the new electric scooter by Twenty-Two Motors, will be a connected smart scooter with the ability to tell you how well you're riding your scooter, when parts will fail before they actually do, and will be equipped with wireless charging capability. The scooter will also have the cruise control feature, typically found in high-end cars. Priced at Rs 74,740, production of the Flow scooter will start in June at the company's upcoming factory at Bhiwadi, Rajasthan. Twenty-Two started taking pre-orders for the scooter at the Auto Expo on Thursday.
