Namaste and Welcome! The Indian two-wheeler market is seeing a zabardast (tremendous) shift, with electric scooters leading the charge. But in this race of futuristic designs, one scooter decided to take a scenic route back to the classics: the Jitendra EV YUNIK.
This is not just another electric scooter; it’s a beautiful blend of nostalgia and next-gen technology, promising a truly unique ride. If you are someone who loves the charm of those old-school scooters but needs the reliability and efficiency of a modern electric vehicle, then bhai, your search ends right here.
The YUNIK is Jitendra EV's flagship model, offering a promising 130 km range and a look that will surely turn heads. Let’s dive deep into what makes this neo-retro scooter tick and whether its price truly makes it a Paisa Vasool deal!
Design and Vibe: Neo-Retro Look, Ek Dum Stylish!
The biggest USP (Unique Selling Proposition) of the Jitendra YUNIK is undeniably its design. In a market flooded with aggressive, angular designs, the YUNIK embraces curves and a timeless aesthetic. It’s got that classic Vespa-like charm that instantly connects with the Indian psyche. Sahi bataun toh, yeh scooter dekhne mein bada kamaal lagta hai! (To be honest, this scooter looks absolutely amazing!)
The combination of smooth, flowing body panels and a signature round LED headlight gives the YUNIK an instantly lovable look. It manages to look both sophisticated and sporty at the same time. The color options also add to its appeal:
- Volcano Red
- Dusk Blue
- Forest White
- Eclipse Black
- Meadow Green
This is a scooter designed for those who want to stand out, but with grace and style, not just speed.
Build Quality and Road Readiness
While the design is a winner, it's fair to mention that the fit and finish, or the build quality, could be slightly better. Some expert reviews have pointed out minor panel gaps, which is something Jitendra EV should certainly address to match the premium feeling its design creates.
However, on the practical side, the 180 mm ground clearance is a massive advantage on our Indian roads. Ab toh road kitni bhi kharab ho, Yunik sambhal lega! (Now, no matter how bad the road is, the Yunik will handle it!) This high clearance ensures you don't scrape the bottom on those unexpected speed breakers or deep potholes, making it a very practical choice for city and suburban travel.
Power and Performance: Built for the Indian City
The engine room of the YUNIK is designed for efficiency and reliable commuting. It’s built to be your dependable daily workhorse rather than a speed demon.
Battery, Range, and Charging: No More Range Anxiety!
The scooter comes equipped with a 3.8 kWh Li-ion battery pack. This powerful unit delivers a claimed range of 130 km per charge. For the typical Indian commuter who clocks between 30-50 km daily, this means you can easily go 2-3 days without needing to plug in. Fikar not, no more range anxiety for your everyday routine!
Charging is also quick and convenient:
- Battery Capacity: 3.8 kWh
- Claimed Range: 130 km per charge
- Charging Time (0-100%): Just 3.5 to 4 hours
The scooter is powered by a 2.5 kW BLDC Hub Motor. This motor is tuned for quick acceleration in city traffic, giving you that instant torque needed to get ahead at traffic lights. Kam time mein zyada range—yahi toh chahiye! (More range in less time—that's what we need!)
Speed and Handling Dynamics
The YUNIK offers a controlled top speed of 72 km/Hr, which is absolutely sufficient and safer for Indian city traffic. It feels agile and light with a kerb weight of 150 kg, making it easy to weave through congested lanes.
Here’s a quick look at the ride dynamics:
- Top Speed: 72 km/Hr (Perfect for city commuting)
- Handling: Agile and light maneuverability in traffic.
- Suspension: Slightly firm setup (Telescopic Front/Hydraulic Rear) offers good stability.
The slightly firm suspension gives it stability when riding straight, but does mean you will feel the bumps and bad road patches more distinctly. Thoda sa firm hai, par stability acchi milti hai. (It’s a bit firm, but you get good stability.) There is also a minor jerkiness in the initial throttle, but it smooths out quickly.
Smart Features and Comfort: Tech-Savvy Aur Aaramdaayak
A modern EV is incomplete without a good tech package. The Jitendra YUNIK is packed with features that enhance convenience and safety, making your daily ride smarter.
Key Features at a Glance:
- Digital Console: Clear LCD display showing speed, battery, and range.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: Pairs with your smartphone for alerts.
- JENi Application: Access to smart functions like Navigation assist, Anti-theft alarm, and Find my Scooter—great for busy parking lots.
- Convenience: Includes a handy USB charging port, Keyless Ignition, and Central Locking for a premium feel.
- Braking: Disc brake at the front and Drum brake at the rear (front brake response could be sharper).
- Storage: Under-seat storage and a front glove box for your essentials.
Price and Competition: Kya Yeh Hai Sahi Deal?
The Jitendra EV YUNIK standard variant is priced at around ₹1,24,083 (Ex-Showroom, Delhi). This places it directly in competition with some of the biggest names in the Indian EV market.
The YUNIK justifies its price with a combination of unique design, high ground clearance, and a strong 3.8 kWh battery pack. While the established competitors boast wider service networks, the YUNIK offers a unique style statement and the critical road clearance needed for apna (our) India.
| Feature | Jitendra YUNIK | Bajaj Chetak | TVS iQube | Ola S1 X |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ex-Showroom Price (Approx.) | ₹1.24 Lakh | ₹1.07 - ₹1.40 Lakh | ₹0.94 - ₹1.31 Lakh | ₹0.94 - ₹1.25 Lakh |
| Claimed Range (IDC/ARAI) | 130 km | 127 km | 123 - 145 km | 108 - 190 km |
| Top Speed | 72 km/Hr | 63 km/Hr | 75 km/Hr | 90 km/Hr |
The Value Verdict: The YUNIK offers a competitive package. While its price point is similar to the established rivals, the YUNIK excels in two areas: design style (if you love the retro look, this is the one) and ground clearance (180mm is truly superior for navigating tough Indian roads). Agar aapko alag dikhna hai aur road se ladna hai, toh Yunik ek behtareen choice hai. (If you want to look different and tackle the roads, the Yunik is an excellent choice.) The only thing holding it back is the relatively smaller service network compared to the big brands, which Jitendra EV is actively working to expand.
Final Conclusion: Bhavishya Ka Retro Hero
The Jitendra EV YUNIK is a refreshing addition to the Indian EV landscape. It proves that you don't have to sacrifice style for sustainability. It’s comfortable, zippy enough for the city, and has the ground clearance to take on our challenging roads.
The few minor compromises in the build and braking are easily overshadowed by its charm, its practical range, and its unbeatable retro appeal. If your priorities are:
- Unique, Classic Style Statement
- Excellent Ground Clearance for Indian Roads
- Reliable Mid-Range for Daily Commuting
...then the YUNIK is calling your name. If you’re ready to switch to electric and want a ride that makes a statement without shouting, the YUNIK is a fantastic option worth considering. **Go electric, go stylish, go YUNIK! It’s truly ek number (first-rate)!**
