Chinese-backed motorcycle brand Keeway has launched its electric Hypevolt-R in India, priced at Rs 199,000 (ex-showroom). It packs a 5kWh twin-battery setup delivering a claimed top speed of 115km/h and a range of 180km, marking the brand's entry into India's electric scooter market.
A twin-battery configuration is the kind of thing that makes me want to take it apart just from hearing about it. How do they split up 5kWh, and how do they manage the heat and weight? I'm itching to find out how much of that 180km range on the Hypevolt-R you can actually use in real riding — I want to see behind the spec sheet.

Extending range with a twin-battery setup sounds like a smart idea that'd work well even in areas without solid charging infrastructure.
What does 'ex-showroom price' actually mean?
It means the base price at the dealer before registration fees and insurance, the actual cost ends up a bit higher.
China-backed Keeway entering the Indian EV market feels like one more rival added against TVS and Ather.
5kWh twin battery, top speed 115km/h — sounds like a well-balanced set of numbers for this class.
A twin-battery setup probably adds weight, so real-world range might end up shorter than the 180km figure.
199,000 rupees for 180km of range is competitive enough even in India's electric scooter market.
