Long-Distance Riding with Sahara Electric Scooty: Tips and Tricks

Sahara EVOLS

Unlike its silent-driven ride, Sahara EVOLS erupted onto the Indian scene in December 2018, with a 101-pre-booking roar. Sahara EVOLS scooty fanned the flames with "Electric Vehicle" exhibitions, transforming showrooms into electrifying experiences and proving that EVs weren't just good for the planet, they were downright cool. In May 2019, they even brought the party to Uttar Pradesh, hosting the state's first "Electric Vehicle Expo" - a testament to their unwavering commitment to spreading the EV gospel far and wide.

As the months passed, their dealer network blossomed, 100-strong by October 2019. Orders poured in, 5500 dreams of a cleaner future taking shape, and by Diwali, over 2400 of these dreams had already found their happy wheels. But Sahara EVOLS wasn't just chasing numbers; they were building a community, a tribe of "Sahayaks" dedicated to spreading the word. By September 2020, 500 strong, they were the wind beneath the EV revolution's wings.

They haven't just sold vehicles; they've fueled a movement, a silent, sustainable roar that echoes across 165 cities in 23 states. This is not just a company; it's a revolution on wheels, and the journey has just begun.

Today, Sahara EVOLS isn't just a name; it's a force of nature. With 200+ dealers and 330+ service centres dotting the Indian map, they've woven a robust infrastructure, a safety net for every electric adventurer.

Pre-Ride Preparedness: Laying the Foundation for Success

Route Planning: Meticulously map your journey, factoring in charging infrastructure availability and terrain variations, this will help you to reach your distance without any deviation and skip extra unnecessary miles. 

Battery Management: Understand your Sahara's real-world range and plan charging points accordingly. Download charging apps and identify backup options in case of unforeseen delays. Consider carrying a portable charger for added peace of mind.

Safety First: Invest in high-visibility gear and ensure your Sahara is road-worthy. Carry a comprehensive repair kit and familiarize yourself with basic bike maintenance for minor fixes. 

Always adhere to traffic rules and prioritize safety throughout your journey (Don’t forget your helmet).

Pace Yourself: Resist the urge to speed and maintain a consistent, moderate pace to maximize battery efficiency. Utilize cruise control when available for even energy distribution.

Terrain Tactics: Adapt your riding style to the terrain. Gentle slopes require minimal throttle input, while ascents demand calculated bursts of power to conserve battery. Downhill stretches offer opportunities for regenerative braking, topping up your battery reserves.

Minimize the Drain: Limit unnecessary electronic usage like mobile phone calls or constant GPS navigation. Opt for offline maps or download music beforehand to avoid draining the battery. Most importantly, switch off your EVs at lights and make sure to operate at a medium speed and acceleration ensuring long ranges.

Weather Protection: Pack versatile clothing that adapts to changing weather conditions. Consider weather forecasts and pack rain gear or sun protection as needed. The weather may have an effect on your battery drainage magnitude as well. 

Communication Tools: Carry a mobile phone with a portable charger and ensure it has credit or can access Wi-Fi hotspots for emergencies and updates. In case of a breakdown, you can locate the nearest Sahara service centre or give us a call for further assistance
