Auto Expo 2023: Liger Self-Balancing Electric Scooters Revealed

Auto Expo 2023: The Liger X and the Liger X+, two new self-balancing electric scooters from the Mumbai-based startup Liger Mobility, were introduced on Day 2 of the Auto Expo. Both products use a lithium-ion battery pack, although the Liger X has a detachable one whereas the Liger X+ does not. Both come equipped with the firm's patented AutoBalancing technology, which enables the e-scooters to maintain their upright position from a standing start and even at slow speeds without the rider using their feet to stabilise it. This also applies to the scooters' ability to reverse. Once the scooter reaches a certain speed, the rider can manually turn off the AutoBalancing feature. The Liger X and Liger X+ also have a learner mode that, when used with the AutoBalancing function, enables the user to restrict the top speed of the e-scooter. Also available to the models are OTA (Over The Air) software updates. 

A replaceable lithium-ion battery pack for the Liger X can be fully charged in 3 hours. It has a top speed of 65km/h and a range of 60 kilometres on a single charge as claimed by the manufacturer. In comparison, the Liger X+ claims to have a 100 kilometres range and employs a non-removable battery pack that can be fully charged in 4.5 hours.
