Kunal: I want to upgrade to an electric scooter but I keep hesitating because of all the battery anxiety.

Suchi: What do you mean by battery anxiety?

Kunal: You know, the usual- battery repairs, replacements and a warranty that always seems to expire right when I need it the most.

Suchi: Oh, so you haven’t heard about the Lectrix battery subscription model?

Kunal: No, what’s that?

Suchi: It’s only the best thing to have happened to electric scooters! It will take away all your battery anxiety and might just convince you to buy an e-scooter right away. Let me explain it in detail.

What is the Battery Subscription Model?

A one-of-a-kind concept, the battery-as-a-subscription (BaaS) model simply delinks the electric scooter battery from the scooter, allowing users to buy an e-scooter at a much lower price. To use the battery, they can pay a monthly subscription fee, which covers the cost of repairs and replacement as and when needed.

At Lectrix, customers can buy our LXS 2.0 electric scooter at just Rs. 49,999 and start a monthly subscription for the battery. Our subscription is available at Rs. 999/month and includes battery repair, replacement and a lifetime warranty. By providing the battery on subscription, we aim to eliminate all the hassles associated with EV battery ownership, such as maintenance and replacement.

5 Reasons Why You Need a Battery Subscription

1.Huge savings on upfront cost

An EV battery is one of the most essential and expensive components of an electric scooter, costing around Rs. 40,000-50,000. But why own the battery when you can access it with a monthly subscription? With the BasS model, you can easily avoid this high initial investment and buy an EV without its battery. This will bring down your upfront cost by 40%.

2.Ride unlimited kilometres

With the Lectrix battery subscription model, there’s no limit to the kilometres you ride. You can drive your electric scooter as much as you want to at a fixed monthly subscription fee of Rs. 999. Unlike a petrol-run scooter, where the more kilometres you ride, the more you spend on fuel, the BaaS model keeps your monthly transportation costs fixed.

3.Free battery repair and replacement

Now, about those battery woes that keep you from buying an electric scooter. Our battery subscription covers all battery repairs and replacements as and when an issue arises. If something goes wrong with your battery, the subscription service inspects the damage and handles it, so you can stay on the road without any worries.

4.Lifetime battery warranty

Most electric scooters come with a battery warranty of 2-3 years or up to 30,000 km, whichever comes first. Now, if you’re a daily commuter, riding an average of 50 km per day, then you’re likely to run out of the battery warranty sooner than expected. This means you’ll have to bear the cost of battery replacement, which can be as high as Rs. 40,000. However, with our battery subscription model, you get a lifetime warranty for your e-scooter battery.

5.Full control of subscription

At Lectrix, we don’t just offer you a battery on subscription we also provide you full control over your subscription. You can pause and resume it anytime based on your usage, either through our app or by notifying us in advance. This means you only pay for the battery when you’re using it. Additionally, you can end the subscription anytime to buy a new or existing battery at the current price.

Key Takeaways

If you’re considering switching to an electric scooter, a battery subscription model could be just what you need to make your ride economical, efficient and enjoyable. With benefits like huge upfront cost savings, free battery repairs and replacement and a lifetime battery warranty, our BaaS model enhances your riding experience.
