In short

The iVOOMi City was a low-speed electric scooter sold from 2021 to 2023, priced from ₹81,499 with a 1.5kWh battery and a claimed 110km range, though its 25kmph top speed keeps it in the licence-free segment. It's a used buy today, best suited to short, slow local errands rather than road riding.

What works

  • Claimed 110km range from a small 1.5kWh battery
  • Removable battery for easier home charging
  • Rich feature set for its class: cruise control, reverse mode, OTA updates

What doesn't

  • 25kmph top speed limits it to local, low-traffic use
  • Rear drum brake only, no rear disc
  • Discontinued since 2023, so software and parts support may lapse

Best for: Short local errands, Second household vehicle, Licence-free riding

Last prices and variants

The last ex-showroom Delhi list prices before iVOOMi withdrew the model in 2023.

The City was sold in a single variant and last listed at ₹81,499 ex-showroom Delhi before it was withdrawn in 2023.

Against the 88 electric scooters on sale today its last price would sit 21th from the cheapest. The closest current bikes on price are the Faast F2F (₹81,996) and the S1 (₹79,999); those are the new-bike alternatives to weigh a used City against.

Range and charging

The City is rated at 110 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.

Running cost per month and five-year ownership estimate

Motor and ride

The City's 0.45 kW motor is the 62rd most powerful among the 77 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. 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, 180 mm up front and drum, 130 mm at the rear.

Seat height is a low 760 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.

Our review

Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.

Verdict

The iVOOMi City was a low-speed electric scooter sold from 2021 to 2023, priced from ₹81,499, and it claimed 110km of range from a small 1.5kWh battery, a strong figure for its class. Its 25kmph top speed places it in India's licence-free, unregistered segment, which is the main reason to consider it over a full-speed EV.

Riding it every day

At just 65kg it's easy to push around and park, and features like cruise control, reverse mode and a removable battery make daily use genuinely convenient for short trips. The 25kmph cap means it isn't suited to arterial roads or highway stretches, and the rear drum brake, without a matching disc, means stopping distances need more anticipation than on a full-speed scooter. Monsoon riding is manageable given the light weight, though ground clearance at 170mm helps with speed breakers.

What to know before buying

Since it was discontinued in 2023, treat any claims of ongoing software updates or app support with caution, and check locally whether service and spares are still available. On a used unit, ask specifically about the battery's condition, since that's the costliest part to replace on any electric scooter.

Who should buy it

A household looking for a second, low-speed vehicle for short errands or school runs that doesn't need registration or a licence. It isn't a fit for anyone who needs to travel on faster roads or cover meaningful daily distances, where the Jeet X in iVOOMi's own range is the better choice.

Features

  • Single-channel ABS
  • Front disc brake
  • Tubeless tyres
  • Alloy wheels
  • LED headlamp
  • LED daytime running lamp
  • Ride modes
  • USB charging port
  • Keyless start
  • Under-seat storage
  • +5 more

On safety kit the City has single-channel abs, front disc brake and tubeless tyres. ABS acts on the front wheel only; the rear can still lock under a hard stamp.

Against Faast F2F, S1 Z or S1, it gets single-channel abs, front disc brake, alloy wheels and usb charging port that most rivals skip.

What it lacks: combi-brake (cbs), hazard lamps, led tail lamp and fast charging, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 3 colours: Grey, White and Red. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Full specifications and every feature explained

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km. The battery is covered separately for 2 years; read the degradation clause, since most policies only replace a pack that drops below 70% capacity.

iVOOMi runs a limited sales and service network in India, at roughly 100 touchpoints. Check the nearest workshop before buying if you live outside a metro; a 40 km ride for every service adds up.

iVOOMi sold the City new from 2021 until 2023, a short run, so check spares availability with the dealer before buying used. Warranty on a used example depends on what is left of the original term; service intervals and parts pricing are unchanged by the model being withdrawn.

City: questions people ask

Is the iVOOMi City still available?
No. iVOOMi withdrew the City in 2023 after selling it since 2021. Dealers sometimes hold unregistered stock for a few months after a model goes; after that it is a used buy.
What was the price of the iVOOMi City?
The City last listed at ₹81,499 ex-showroom Delhi in its single variant. Used prices depend on year, mileage and condition; a two- to three-year-old example typically changes hands at 60–75% of that.
What is the real range of the City?
The certified range is 110 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
How much does the City cost to run per month?
Charging works out to about ₹0.11 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹88 a month before servicing.
How long does the City take to charge?
About 4 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
Is the City suitable for short riders?
Yes. Seat height is 760 mm, low for the class, so riders around 5'2" and above can reach the ground comfortably.
City or Faast F2F: which is better?
The Faast F2F is ₹497 more expensive to start and less efficient at 80 km against 110 km. Pick the City for short local errands, the Faast F2F for tightest-budget faast buyers. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.
Which bikes are cheaper than the City?
Among the 89 electric scooters we have reviewed, the Wolf (₹61,877), the Drift (₹71,283), the Edge (₹67,484) start lower.
Is the iVOOMi City still getting software or service support?
It was discontinued in 2023, so treat any ongoing app or OTA support as uncertain; check with a local iVOOMi service point before relying on it.
What should I check before buying a used City?
Ask the seller for the battery's health or cycle count if available, inspect the drum rear brake for wear, and confirm the charger and removable battery pack are both included and original.
