Greaves Electric Mobility Limited (GEML) has set a new record with its next-generation electric 3-wheeler passenger vehicle, the Eltra City XTRA, in a striking display of engineering prowess and environmentally friendly innovation. The upgraded Eltra set a new record for the longest distance travelled by an electric three-wheeler on a single charge when it successfully completed a 324-kilometre ride from Bengaluru, Karnataka, to Ranipet, Tamil Nadu, on a single charge.
The Freedom Ride 2.0 was flagged off from the Greaves Electric Mobility Tech Centre in Bangalore and culminated at the Ampere’s Factory in Ranipet. This symbolic journey celebrated India’s technological self-reliance, clean mobility mission, and the brand’s pursuit of XTRA performance, XTRA safety, and XTRA trust.
“This is more than just a record—it’s a reaffirmation of our commitment to providing dependable, high-performance electric mobility solutions for everyday entrepreneurs,” said Mr Manoj M P, Chief Business Officer, Greaves Electric Mobility. “With the Eltra City XTRA, we’re not only setting benchmarks but raising them ourselves—delivering on the promise of innovation, safety, and affordability.” He added.
The Eltra City XTRA, which was introduced earlier this month, is the next-generation version of the record-breaking Eltra City, which in 2024 rode 225 km from Bangalore to Mysore. With best-in-class parts, a strong LFP battery, and an intuitive digital interface, the Eltra City XTRA is engineered to bring “Technology Latest, Trust Highest” and is intended to give drivers and fleet owners more peace of mind, lower operating expenses, and higher earnings.
The Eltra City XTRA is engineered to deliver a hassle-free, high-performance electric mobility experience with true peace of mind. With a top speed of 60 km/h and a true range of ~170 km (Driver+3 condition) on a single charge, it ensures dependable daily operations for both city and peri-urban commutes. Designed to handle a payload of up to 330 kg and climb gradients of up to 12°, it offers robust capability where it matters most. The 12” radial tyres enhance ride quality and ground clearance, while the 6.2” PMVA digital cluster with BLE connectivity keeps drivers informed with real-time alerts, navigation, and distance-to-empty indicators. Powered by a peak 9.5 kW motor and a 10.75 kWh IP67-rated LFP battery, the vehicle combines performance with durability. A charging time of 4-5 hrs further adds to convenience. Backed by a 5-year or 1.2 lakh kilometres battery warranty and a 3-year or 80,000-kilometre vehicle warranty, the Eltra City XTRA is built for long-term reliability and a worry-free EV ownership journey.
Vikas Singh, MD, Greaves Electric Mobility, added: “This Freedom Ride 2.0 isn’t just about distance—it’s about impact. It shows how our products are empowering livelihoods while supporting India’s green goals. The Eltra City XTRA is built for tomorrow’s roads, today.”
