Range and charging
The Derby is rated at 90 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
Motor and ride
The Derby's 0.35 kW motor is the 63rd most powerful among the 76 electric scooters here and takes it to a top speed of 25 km/h, which limits it to city use.
A full charge from a home socket takes about 4 hours, and it supports fast charging for a quicker top-up on the road. The battery is removable, so it can be charged indoors if you cannot park near a plug.
Chassis hardware includes single-channel ABS, with a disc, 2 piston caliper up front and drum, 130 mm at the rear.
At 800 mm the seat is average for the class; most riders from 5'5" up will be comfortable at stops.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The Evolet Derby is a low-speed electric two-wheeler priced from ₹71,399, built around a small 1.152kWh battery and 0.35kW motor that together offer a claimed 90km range.
Riding it every day
At 76kg it is genuinely easy to handle, whether that means lifting it onto a kerb, threading through narrow lanes, or parking in a tight spot. The 25kmph top speed keeps it firmly in low-speed territory, so it works well for short errands, school runs or local commutes but is not meant for highways or fast city roads. The keyless start and reverse mode are welcome conveniences at this price, and the claimed 4-hour charging time means it can be topped up during a workday or overnight without hassle.
What to know before buying
The rear drum brake, paired with a front disc, is adequate at these speeds but is worth noting compared with costlier electric two-wheelers that offer discs on both ends. Battery health is the main long-term concern with any low-cost electric two-wheeler, so ask about the battery warranty terms and check how the range holds up in a demo ride before buying.
Who should buy it
This suits someone who wants a genuinely low-cost, easy-to-handle electric runabout for short local trips and does not need highway speeds, particularly first-time electric two-wheeler buyers or a second vehicle for quick errands.

On safety kit the Derby has single-channel abs, front disc brake, tubeless tyres and hazard lamps. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.
Against Edge, Glob or Ryder, it gets single-channel abs and keyless start that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: engine kill switch, which rivals at this price offer. None of these are deal-breakers, but they show where the money went.
It is offered in 2 colours: Black and White. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 1.5 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 3 years; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.
Service reach is the weak point: Evolet has about 60 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.
On sale since 2019, the Derby is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
Derby: questions people ask
- What is the price of the Evolet Derby?
- The Derby is priced at ₹71,399 ex-showroom Delhi in its single variant, as of September 2026. On-road price adds road tax, registration and insurance.
- What is the on-road price of the Derby in Delhi?
- About ₹83,807 for the base variant in Delhi: ₹78,999 ex-showroom plus ₹0 in Delhi road tax and registration and ₹4,808 for first-year insurance. Figure from dealer quotes, updated monthly; handling and accessory packs can add more.
- What is the real range of the Derby?
- The certified range is 90 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
- How much does the Derby cost to run per month?
- Charging works out to about ₹0.11 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹82 a month before servicing.
- What is the EMI for the Derby?
- With 10% down, a 36-month loan at 9.5% on the base variant comes to about ₹2,260 a month. A shorter tenure raises the EMI but cuts total interest; see the EMI calculator on the price page.
- How long does the Derby take to charge?
- About 4 hours for a full charge from a home socket, with fast charging available for quicker top-ups.
- Is the Derby suitable for short riders?
- Mostly. Seat height is 800 mm, which suits riders from about 5'5". Shorter riders should sit on one at the showroom.
- Derby or Edge: which is better?
- The Edge is ₹3,915 less expensive to start and less efficient at 60 km against 90 km. Pick the Derby for short daily errands, the Edge for shorter riders needing low seat height. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
- Which bikes are cheaper than the Derby?
- Among the 88 electric scooters we have reviewed, the Wolf (₹61,877), the Drift (₹71,283), the Edge (₹67,484) start lower.
- Can the Derby be ridden on the highway?
- No, its 25kmph top speed is designed for slow local roads and residential areas, not highways or fast arterial roads, so it should be treated purely as a short-distance city or neighbourhood runabout.
- Is the 90km range realistic for daily use?
- Claimed range figures are usually measured under gentle, steady-speed conditions, so expect somewhat less in practice with stop-start riding, though for most short daily errands the real-world range should typically still comfortably cover a week of use between charges.
