Namaste mere dosto! Welcome back to another honest review. Today, we are talking about a scooter that is a real life-saver for middle-class Indian families, students, and elders.
In a world where premium electric scooters are touching ₹1.5 Lakh, Ujaas Energy is doing something different.
They are bringing electric mobility to the common man with their model, the Ujaas eGO (specifically the eGO LA).
Starting at an unbelievable price of around ₹34,880 to ₹39,880 (Ex-Showroom), this scooter costs less than a high-end smartphone!
But as they say, "Sasta roye baar baar, mehenga roye ek baar" (The cheap one makes you cry often, the expensive one only once).
Is that true here? Or is the Ujaas eGO a genuine paisa-vasool (value-for-money) product for your daily sabzi-mandi (vegetable market) runs? Chaliye, detail mein baat karte hain!
Design: Retro Vibes with a Compact Touch
The Ujaas eGO LA has a very classic, almost retro design. It features a rounded LED headlamp and a smooth, curvy body that looks very friendly.
It’s not aggressive or sporty like an Ather or Ola; it’s simple and functional.
One of the biggest plus points for our Indian roads is its compact size. Whether you have to squeeze through a narrow gully or park in a crowded market, this scooter makes it effortless.
The build quality is decent for the price. It feels lightweight—weighing only about 86 kg—which makes it a favorite for teenagers and senior citizens.
Koi bhi ise araam se sambhal sakta hai! (Anyone can handle it easily!)
Performance: No License? No Problem!
The most important thing to know about the Ujaas eGO is that it falls under the Low-Speed Electric Vehicle (LSEV) category. It is powered by a 250W Hub Motor.
Top Speed and RTO Rules
Because the top speed is capped at 25 kmph, you get a huge benefit in India: No Driving License and No Registration required!
Yes, you read that right. Na license ki tension, na RTO ke chakkar. (No tension of license, no rounds of the RTO).
Just buy it, charge it, and start riding. This makes it an ideal choice for 15-18 year old students going to coaching classes or for elders who don't want to deal with paperwork.
Battery and Range: 75km on a Single Charge?
The Ujaas eGO LA (Lead Acid) variant typically comes with a 60V/26Ah Lead-Acid battery pack.
- Range: Ujaas claims a range of 75 km per charge. In real-world Indian conditions, with a single rider and moderate traffic, you can safely expect 60-65 km.
- Charging Time: Since it uses a Lead-Acid battery, it takes about 6-7 hours for a full charge. Raat bhar charge pe lagao, aur din bhar chalao! (Put it on charge overnight, and ride it all day!)
Note: While Lead-Acid is cheaper, remember that these batteries usually need replacement every 1.5 to 2 years.
If you want a longer life, Ujaas also offers a Lithium-Ion (Li) variant, but that will cost you more (around ₹60,000+).
Features: Surprisingly Loaded for the Price
You might think a scooter this cheap would be "nanga-punga" (bare-bones), but Ujaas has actually added some very cool modern features:
- Digital Instrument Console: It shows your speed, battery level, and trip meter in a clear, digital format.
- Anti-Theft Alarm: This is a big one! If someone tries to touch your scooter, it will start screaming. Choron ki ab khair nahi! (Thieves beware!).
- Keyless Entry & Find My Scooter: You get a remote key just like a car. You can start the scooter with a button and find it in a crowded parking lot using the buzzer.
- USB Charging Port: You can charge your phone on the go. Very handy for students!
- Reverse Gear: Yes, it even has a reverse mode! Bhaari traffic mein peeche karne ka jhanjhat khatam. (No more struggle to move back in heavy traffic).
Ride Quality and Comfort
The scooter comes with Telescopic Suspension at the front and Hydraulic shock absorbers at the back.
It handles small bumps and speed breakers quite well. However, because the wheels are small (10-inch alloys), you should avoid big potholes.
Indian roads ka toh aapko pata hi hai (You already know about Indian roads), so drive carefully!
The seat is flat and comfortable for two average-sized adults. There is also a passenger backrest included, which is a very thoughtful touch for pillion comfort.
Running Cost: The Real Game Changer
Let's do some "Desi Math" here. To charge this scooter fully, it takes about 1.5 to 2 units of electricity.
In India, that costs roughly ₹10 to ₹15. For ₹15, you are getting 60-70 km. Compare that to a petrol scooter where you spend ₹100 for the same distance! Bachat hi bachat! (Savings and only savings!).
Comparison: Ujaas eGO vs The Competition
How does it stack up against other budget EVs?
| Feature | Ujaas eGO LA | Vida VX2 | Komaki X One |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | ₹39,880 | ₹44,990 | ₹36,999 |
| Top Speed | 25 kmph | 70 kmph | 60 kmph |
| License Needed? | NO | YES | YES |
The Ujaas eGO wins on simplicity and legal ease. If you don't want the headache of a driving license, this is the clear winner.
Final Verdict: Should You Buy It?
The Ujaas Energy eGO is not a scooter for high-speed thrills. It is a sensible tool for a sensible Indian.
It is for the father who wants his daughter to go to college safely, for the grandfather who wants to visit the temple, and for the home-maker who needs to run daily errands.
Pros:
- Extremely affordable (Under ₹40k).
- No License or Registration needed.
- Loaded with features like Anti-theft and Keyless entry.
- Very low running cost.
Cons:
- Low top speed (Not for highways).
- Lead-Acid battery life is short (Needs replacement in 2 years).
- Not suitable for long-distance travel.
If your daily requirement is within 10-15 km and you want the cheapest possible way to move around, aankh band karke ise le lo! (Buy it with your eyes closed!).
It’s a solid, honest, and hardworking electric scooter. **Ujaas ne sach mein "Bijli ki bachat" ko har ghar tak pahuncha diya hai!**
