CollarEV Moon Electric Delivery Scooter Launches in India for Fleet Operations

Electric mobility startup CollarEV has introduced a new commercial electric two-wheeler called Moon, designed specifically for last-mile delivery and fleet operations in India. The vehicle was announced on March 16, 2026, in New Delhi, with pre-bookings now available through the company’s official website. With this launch, the company enters a segment it believes has limited purpose-built electric vehicles, particularly for businesses requiring durable mobility solutions for daily commercial logistics operations.

The new electric delivery vehicle is priced between ₹79,999 and ₹89,999, positioning it within the mid-range category for small businesses, delivery riders, and fleet operators transitioning away from petrol-powered two-wheelers. CollarEV has not yet confirmed the exact on-road price or whether the announced price includes government incentives available under electric vehicle subsidy schemes currently offered in India.

Battery System and Charging Performance

The CollarEV Moon electric delivery scooter is powered by a 51.2V, 45Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate battery pack with a total capacity of 2.3 kWh. According to the company, the vehicle delivers a claimed range of up to 135 km on a single charge. Lithium Iron Phosphate chemistry is widely used in commercial electric vehicles because of its strong thermal stability and longer service life compared with other lithium-ion battery variants.

The battery can charge from zero to 80 percent in roughly two hours, while a complete charge takes approximately 2.5 hours. CollarEV states that the battery pack is rated for more than 1,000 charge cycles, a specification aimed at improving operational longevity for commercial users who rely on frequent daily charging.

Motor Performance and Vehicle Design

The vehicle uses a BLDC hub motor rated at 1,500W continuous output and capable of delivering a peak power of 2,200W. The motor produces 95 Nm of torque at the wheel, supporting a maximum payload capacity of up to 150 kg. This specification is particularly relevant for delivery services that transport heavier packages or operate in high-frequency logistics environments.

Top speed is electronically limited to 50 km/h, consistent with low-speed electric vehicle regulations. The two-wheeler is equipped with dual disc brakes and rides on 12-inch wheels. The structure uses a fully metal chassis and body construction, which the company says helps reduce long-term maintenance requirements compared with vehicles that rely heavily on plastic or composite materials.

Connected Fleet Management Features

The scooter incorporates a TFT display integrated with telematics capabilities that enable real-time fleet monitoring and asset tracking. These connected features allow operators to track vehicle usage and operational performance, which can be useful for delivery companies managing multiple vehicles across different routes.

Additional features include keyless start and stop functionality. The platform also supports interchangeable utility attachments that allow the vehicle to be configured for different logistics applications, including cargo transport and delivery box integration depending on the operational requirements of fleet operators.

Technology Development and Battery Innovation

Founder Tikendra Yadav said the product was designed to address durability and reliability concerns in the current commercial electric two-wheeler market. He noted that many vehicles in the B2B segment rely on low-cost imported models that often struggle with long-term reliability and after-sales support.

The company also offers a lifetime battery replacement or upgrade option supported by IoT-based monitoring systems that track battery health in real time. CollarEV is additionally testing supercapacitor-assisted battery systems to improve charging speeds and extend battery life. Separate development work is underway on EDLC-based battery technology, which the company says could reduce charging times by as much as 50 percent while potentially increasing vehicle range.

Market Opportunity in Commercial EV Two-Wheelers

The launch comes as electric vehicle adoption in India's two-wheeler market continues to expand but remains uneven across segments. In 2025, the country recorded more than 20 million two-wheeler sales overall, yet electric models accounted for only about 1.4 million units, representing roughly seven percent of the total market.

While consumer-focused electric scooters have gained visibility in urban areas, the commercial delivery segment has received comparatively fewer purpose-built products. CollarEV is positioning its new model to address this gap, particularly for operators who require vehicles capable of handling daily high-load delivery operations.

Target Applications and Deployment Strategy

The company is targeting last-mile logistics providers, mobility aggregators, fleet operators, and delivery professionals as its primary customer base. Additional applications may include milk distribution, agricultural supply transport, produce delivery, and small retail logistics. CollarEV also sees opportunities in rural and semi-urban areas where durable and affordable mobility solutions remain limited.

Initial deployment will focus on Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities before expanding into smaller markets across India. The company has not yet announced detailed plans for its distribution or service network. Looking ahead, CollarEV has also indicated plans to introduce a consumer-focused electric scooter between May and June 2026 aimed at the B2C market.
