LED headlamps, a 7-inch cruise-connect touchscreen infotainment panel, storage bin at the back with a power socket for charging gadgets are some of the features displayed on the concept. Both wheels get disc brakes and removable 1.6 kWh Li-ion SmartPack batteries that are powered by on-board regenerative braking system.
