Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R Performance Tested and Explained

Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R Performance Tested and Explained The Keeway EZI Hypevolt-R has been put through its paces in a series of performance tests, and the results are impressive. The scooter's 5.04kWh battery pack is split into two units, providing ample power for a variety of riding modes. The Hypevolt-R is available in three riding modes - Eco, Normal, and Sport - each with its own unique top speed and throttle response. Eco mode is limited to 45kph, while Sport mode allows the scooter to reach its claimed 115kph. In contrast, Normal mode takes riders up to 81kph. During our testing, the conditions were damp, but this did not seem to affect the scooter's performance. In Sport mode, the Hypevolt-R achieved the 0-80kph sprint in 7.49 seconds and the 0-100kph sprint in 13.05 seconds, making it quicker than the Ather 450 Apex. It was even slightly quicker than the BMW CE 02 we tested last year. Throttle calibration is well done, and despite the strong acceleration, the scooter never feels intimidating. Roll-on acceleration times are also quick, with the scooter taking 2.58 seconds to get from 20-50kph, 3.73 seconds from 30-70kph, and 3.96 seconds from 50-80kph in Sport mode. Normal mode offers enough punch for quick overtakes while preserving more range than Sport. Eco works well around town, but the 45kph limit makes Normal the more useful everyday setting. The brakes are adequate at city speeds, although the rear ABS intervenes rather quickly when braking hard from higher speeds. Priced at Rs 2 lakh (ex-showroom), the Hypevolt-R occupies the premium end of the electric scooter market. It is sold through 44 Benelli and Keeway dealerships across India.
