The wheels are small, so many people don't want to buy an electric scooty for fear of 'skid' on the road. Indian EV two-wheeler startup Bigs (BGauss) has entered the field to remove this fear of buyers. They launched electric scooters with large wheels like motorcycles in the domestic market. The model is named RUV 350. It can be chosen in three variants – RUV 350i, RUV 350 EX and RUV 350 Max. The price is Rs 1.10 lakh, Rs 1.25 lakh and Rs 1.35 lakh respectively.
