Is the Yo Bykes Electron still available?

No. Yo Bykes withdrew the Electron in 2021 after selling it since 2012. 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 Yo Bykes Electron?

The Electron last listed between ₹34,762 and ₹36,888 ex-showroom Delhi across 2 variants. 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 Electron?

The certified range is 70 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.

How much does the Electron cost to run per month?

Charging works out to about ₹0.14 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹106 a month before servicing.

How long does the Electron take to charge?

About 8 hours for a full charge from a home socket.

Electron or SX25: which is better?

The SX25 is ₹20,237 more expensive to start and less efficient at 60 km against 70 km. Pick the Electron for budget-conscious used electric buyers, the SX25 for tightest ev budgets. Our side-by-side comparison covers every spec.

Is the battery on a used Yo Bykes Electron still worth relying on?

This depends heavily on the individual scooter's age and how it was charged and stored; since the model was discontinued in 2021, any surviving battery is likely several years old and may need replacement soon, so factor that cost into any used purchase price.

What should I check before buying a used Electron?

Ask for the battery's age and charging history, test the claimed range against a real ride rather than trusting the original spec, and inspect the drum brakes and basic wiring closely, since electricals on older electric scooters are the most common failure point.

In short

The Yo Bykes Electron was sold from 2012 to 2021, a low-speed electric scooter with a 1.152kWh battery, claimed 70km range and 25kmph top speed, priced from ₹34,762 to ₹36,888. It was one of the more affordable early electric scooters in India, and the trade-off for that low price was drum brakes at both ends and a near-empty features list even by the standards of its time.

What works

Low original price under ₹37,000 across both variants
1.152kWh battery gave a claimed 70km range
Light 84kg kerb weight for easy handling
Simple mechanicals with few complex parts to fail

What doesn't

Drum brakes at both ends, no disc option
Almost no features listed beyond alloy wheels
Discontinued since 2021, so battery replacement and parts sourcing needs care

Best for: Budget-conscious used electric buyers, Very short local trips, Backup or second household vehicle

Last prices and variants

The last ex-showroom Delhi list prices before Yo Bykes withdrew the model in 2021.

The Electron was sold in 2 variants, from ₹34,762 for the Dual Color to ₹36,888 for the Standard, ex-showroom Delhi, at the time it was withdrawn in 2021.

Against the 88 electric scooters on sale today its last price would sit at the bottom of the range. The closest current bikes on price are the SX25 (₹54,999) and the Freedum (₹55,650); those are the new-bike alternatives to weigh a used Electron against.

Range and charging

The Electron is rated at 70 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

A full charge from a home socket takes about 8 hours. The battery is fixed, so you need a plug where the scooter parks.

Our review

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

Verdict

The Electron was one of Yo Bykes' earliest electric scooters, sold from 2012 to 2021 as a low-cost, low-speed option for short local trips. It kept things basic, drum brakes, minimal features, but its low original price made it accessible to buyers just trying electric mobility for the first time.

Riding it every day

At 84kg and with a claimed 70km range from its 1.152kWh battery, the Electron was built for light, short-distance use rather than serious commuting. The 25kmph top speed keeps it well below arterial road traffic, so it's best suited to internal roads and short errands. Drum brakes at both ends mean stopping distances are longer than a disc-equipped scooter, worth remembering in monsoon conditions when roads are slippery.

What to know before buying

As the Electron has been discontinued since 2021, the biggest concern for any used buyer is battery health, since batteries degrade with age regardless of how well they were maintained. Ask for the battery's age and get the actual range tested before agreeing a price, and expect a battery replacement to be a near-term cost on any older unit. Yo Bykes' service network for a now-discontinued model may also be thinner than for current models.

Who should buy it

This suits a very budget-conscious buyer looking for a cheap second vehicle for short local trips, who understands and accepts the risk of an ageing battery. Anyone wanting reliable daily transport or a longer warranty runway should look at a currently sold electric scooter instead.

Features

Alloy wheels

What it lacks: tubeless tyres, hazard lamps, led daytime running lamp and led tail lamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.

It is offered in 4 colours: White, Red, Blue and Black. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.

Full specifications and every feature explained

Warranty, service and ownership

Standard warranty is 3 years, unlimited km.

Service reach is the weak point: Yo Bykes has about 80 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.

Yo Bykes sold the Electron new from 2012 until 2021, a long run that leaves a deep used market, plentiful spares and mechanics who know every fault. 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.
