Indian electric “Smart Scooter” maker has raised prototype funding.
Twenty Two Motors, launched last August to develop an affordable electric vehicle for the Indian masses, has raised $1.6 million to prototype its electric “Smart Scooter.”
The early-stage financing came from Ishwar Singh, CEO of Haryana Industries, an auto-parts maker, and former Harley-Davidson executive Farhaan Shabbir.
Twenty Two Motors, based in Gurgaon, hopes to launch its scooter early next year, with new battery technology adapted to India’s heat.
