Bengaluru to Ranipet on a Single Charge. That’s the feat Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML) just pulled off with its next-gen Eltra City XTRA, making it a new entry in the India Book of Records for the longest distance travelled by an electric 3-wheeler passenger vehicle.
Freedom Ride 2.0: A Journey of Innovation
Flagged off from the Greaves Tech Center in Bengaluru and concluding at Ampere’s state-of-the-art EV factory in Ranipet, this 324 km long ride was more than a distance test—it was a showcase of India’s clean mobility mission and Greaves' push for XTRA performance, XTRA safety, and XTRA trust.

Backed by Greaves Cotton’s 165-year legacy, this electric 3-wheeler is targeted at daily earners, fleet operators, and peri-urban transporters looking for low running cost, high ROI, and zero range anxiety.
A Record-Breaker with Real Impact
"This is not just a record. It’s a real-world proof that our electric vehicles can deliver more – more range, more savings, more reliability," said Manoj M P, CBO at GEML.
The Eltra City XTRA follows last year’s 225 km Bangalore-to-Mysore ride by its predecessor, and now raises the bar with 324 km without recharging.
Why This Matters in India’s EV Push
India's EV ecosystem is evolving fast, and reliable electric 3-wheelers are crucial for last-mile and public transportation. With vehicles like the Eltra City XTRA, Greaves is empowering gig workers, entrepreneurs, and logistics partners with a solution that saves money, reduces emissions, and supports long-term growth.
"Freedom Ride 2.0 isn’t just about distance—it’s about impact," said Vikas Singh, MD of Greaves Electric Mobility.
