Bengaluru-based battery technology start-up Log9 Materials has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Nashik-based Jitendra New EV Tech which makes electric scooters. Under the MOU, Log9 and Jitendra New will jointly roll out an e-scooter named 'JMT 1000HS Rapid', which will use the former's InstaCharge technology. The JMT 1000 HS e-scooters will be manufactured by Jitendra New EV Tech, while InstaCharged will be powered by Log9's RapidX batteries.
The JMT 1000HS Rapid electric scooters will be capable of a full charge in 15 minutes, while the company promises a long life of over 10 years along with best-in-class safety and reliability. The scooter offers a maximum range of up to 82 km on a single charge and a payload capacity of up to 150 kg. These e-scooters will be used for last-mile delivery needs and aim to reduce the carbon footprint.
