Introduction
In the fast-changing world of affordable electric mobility, ZELIO Legender E-Mobility has built a reputation for making sensible, affordable scooters for Indian roads. The company has now given one of its flagship products a facelift with the introduction of the 2025 facelift of the ZELIO Legender, which is priced aggressively at just Rs. 65,000 (ex-showroom).
This latest edition of the ZELIO Legender is more than a cosmetic refresh—it’s a statement to young city commuters, college students, and budget families seeking a fashionable yet affordable option over petrol-fueled scooters. With an estimated range of 150 km on a single charge, smart features, and license-free low-speed classification, the Legender 2025 is distinctly calibrated to India’s next-gen city commuters.
Price and Variants
The ZELIO Legender 2025 has an introductory ex-showroom price of Rs. 65,000, which makes it one of the cheapest long-range electric scooters in its class. Subject to state subsidies and RTO charges, the on-road price could be slightly different, but it should remain well below Rs. 70,000 in most markets.
ZELIO is launching the ZELIO Legender in various battery configurations, the highest model of which extends a range of up to 150 km on a single charge. The scooter remains in the category of low-speed scooters (25 km/h top speed), meaning no license or registration is needed—a blessing for students, pensioners, or beginners.
Range and Efficiency
Among the highlights of the ZELIO Legender 2025 is its stunning claimed range of up to 150 km on a single charge, depending on the battery model and conditions. The increased range is superior compared to most of its competitors in the low-speed EV segment, making it a convenient choice for routine city rides, college campus commutes, and short grocery errands.
The ZELIO Legender uses around 1.5 units of electricity for a full charge, which equates to ultra-low operating expenses—usually less than Rs. 2 per 10 km. Budget-conscious riders will appreciate this efficiency, which yields huge long-term cost savings over petrol-powered scooters with fuel prices on the rise.
Motor and Performance
The ZELIO Legender 2025 is propelled by a 60/72V BLDC hub motor, designed for silky-smooth and quiet running, just right for the stop-and-go pace of urban traffic. As a low-speed electric scooter, its top speed is capped at 25 km/h, thereby falling in the class that does not need a driving license or vehicle registration, according to Indian transport regulations.
Although the company has not publicly released acceleration rates or torque levels, the scooter is optimized for linear, steady pickup, which is sufficient for short commutes, heavy traffic, and local transportation. Here, ease of use and utility take precedence over high performance, so it is ideal for first-time scooter users, students, and seniors.
Design and Build Updates
The 2025 ZELIO Legender facelift introduces an evident improvement in styling, obviously to appeal to younger riders. The scooter is now equipped with new body panels, bold new graphics, and a more aerodynamic shape, providing it with a fresh, sporty look on the road.
The design language is tidy but dynamic, with more angular lines and a slightly more aggressive posture than its predecessor. It hits a great middle ground between function and form, meaning it’s just as suited for everyday office runs as it is for a college dash.
ZELIO is launching the Legender in a range of bright color variants, including trendy hues such as matte black, electric blue, glossy red, and silver grey. High-end paintwork and contrasting graphics give the vehicle the finishing touch. The dual-tone seat cover and alloy wheels add to its urban street appeal.
Features and Tech
The ZELIO Legender 2025 is not merely about price—it also features a multitude of smart features. Central locking and an integrated anti-theft alarm provide security that is useful in city parking conditions.
For extra convenience, ZELIO features a USB charging port to keep your smartphone charged on the go and a parking gear mode that will keep the scooter in place on slopes or when parked.
At the front, the LED headlamp with built-in daytime running lights (DRLs) not only makes things more visible but also lends a premium sheen to the scooter’s face. From aesthetics to safety, Legender ensures that key contemporary features are not compromised for the sake of pricing.
Safety and Comfort
The ZELIO Legender 2025 is a low-speed scooter by any measure, but it doesn’t skimp on rider protection and overall comfort. It has a front disc brake with a rear drum brake for solid braking power and improved control in tight urban situations.
Practical Benefits
Aside from its features and new look, the ZELIO Legender 2025 earns high points on daily practicality, so it is a good value-for-money option in the entry-level EV segment. At its center, its operating costs are very low. With a full charge of about 1.5 units of electricity, the Legender is only Rs. 3–Rs. 4 to operate 100+ kilometers, which is much less expensive than any petrol scooter. In the long run, this adds up to a great deal of money, particularly for those who commute daily.
Stacking on to its value proposition, ZELIO is including a free helmet in each purchase—a welcome perk for initial riders or those transitioning from bicycles to gearless scooters. As the Legender is a low-speed EV category (25 km/h), it does not need a driving license, registration, or road tax, eliminating administrative hurdles and minimizing ownership expenses.
This makes it particularly attractive for students, seniors, and delivery riders. Charging is easy and convenient—plug it into any ordinary home socket, and no installation or special infrastructure is required.
Competition and Segment Fit
In the saturated low-speed EV space, the ZELIO Legender 2025 faces competition from the likes of Hero Electric Flash, Yulu Wynn, and Ampere Reo Plus—all of which appeal to urban commuters seeking license-free, affordable electric mobility. Of these, the Legender has a higher range (up to 150 km) and a solid feature list, boasting a keyless start, digital display, and LED lights.
When compared to petrol scooters in the same price segment of Rs. 65,000–Rs. 70,000, the Legender presents a significantly lower cost of ownership. There is no fuel cost, less maintenance required, and no registration or license fee, making it a wiser long-term purchase for price-sensitive people.
Where most budget EVs trade style for thrift, the Legender provides a more youthful appearance, alloy wheels, and sporty graphics, gaining an advantage in city popularity. Its biggest advantages are the equilibrium of affordability, contemporary styling, and realistic real-world range, which very few competitors can provide in a single package.
Final Thoughts
The ZELIO Legender 2025 presents an attractive alternative in the emerging low-speed electric scooter category. With its fresh new look, extended range of up to 150 km, and loaded feature set—all at a reasonably attainable price of Rs. 65,000—it ticks almost every box for daily use in the city. It’s especially good for students, gig economy riders, senior riders, and anyone seeking an affordable, license-free commute solution.
The scooter’s clever blend of looks, functionality, low running cost, and ultra-low running expense provides it with a usability advantage over both cheap petrol scooters and much of its electric competitor range. Though not designed for speed or highway use, the Legender shines at what it’s intended to do: cheap, reliable, and hassle-free city driving.
