Yulu Wynn E-Scooter 2025

Urban India is changing quickly. Rising high fuel costs, pollution, and traffic congestion have made electric scooters the solution for modern urban commuting. Out of all the new-age EVs, Yulu Wynn e-scooter is probably the most unique. With prices starting at ₹55,555, a smart Battery as a Service (BaaS) subscription model, and features designed for urban life, the Wynn is a favourite among urbanites and a preferred option for students, professionals, and delivery riders, alike.

In this detailed blog, we will cover everything about Yulu Wynn i.e. design, features, battery, range and performance, ownership model, competitors comparison, and whether it is the wisest purchase to make in 2025.

Why Yulu Wynn Stands Out

Unlike many electric scooters in India, Yulu Wynn is not just another EV on the market - it is a devoted urban commuter. Yulu, whose previous vehicles were shared electric bikes in Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai, has created Wynn as their first personal electric scooter.

The most exciting part is its ownership model:

  • You purchase the scooter at an affordable price.
  • Instead of buying a somewhat expensive battery (which often adds to the cost of EVs), you subscribe to Yulu's battery as a service.
  • Batteries are swapped instantaneously at Yuma Energy stations or accept a charge at home with a portable charger.

This helps to reduce first costs, by nearly 35–40%; and riders will never worry about battery replacement or decay.

Design & Usability

At first glance, the Yulu Wynn looks neat, light and friendly—it could be made for India's traffic conditions.

  • The slim frame and step-through frame means easy to ride even in tight lanes.
  • It has 12 inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres (60/100 front, 80/80 rear) so don chute stability.
  • The front has telescopic suspension, and although the rear is twin shock, it gives a surprisingly comfortable ride with city potholes.
  • It has a payload capacity of 100 kg, which is ideal for the single rider to just light delivery work.
  • It has a seat height of 740 mm too, so even if you are shorter relative to the 1.9 meter height of the average Indian male you should still be able to ride and sit on Wynn comfortably.
  • With a turning radius of 1.76 m to make a U-turn means that's easy enough—thank goodness for urban riders.
  • Parking is easy, because it takes less space than most scooters.

Features & Smart Technology

Even though it is inexpensive, Wynn includes more modern features than you will know what to do with.

  • LED headlamp & taillamp for increased visibility.
  • Keyless access—tap the lock button in your Yulu app.
  • Smartphone app connectivity with vehicle tracking and OTA software updates.
  • USB charging port for your phone.

In short, Wynn is designed specifically to make commuting more convenient, in finances and mental awareness, on a daily basis.

Performance & Efficiency

The performance is modest, but practical for a city ride.

  • Motor: 250W hub mounted BLDC motor.
  • Top speed: ~25 km/h (legally classed as low speed scooter, no license or registration required).
  • Battery: 51V, 19.3Ah (0.98 kWh) Lithium iron phosphate (LFP).
  • Range: Up to 68 km on one charge.
  • Charging time: 4–6 hours with home charger or an instant swap at a Yuma station.

As it is capped to below 25 km/h, Wynn does not require a driver’s license, insurance, or road tax. For this reason, it is particularly appealing to younger riders, or those who want simplicity in ownership.

The Battery Advantage – Yuma Energy Network

One of Wynn’s strongest selling points is Yulu’s partnership with Yuma Energy. The battery can be swapped in under 2 minutes—like changing a SIM card.

  • Subscription plans start at ₹499/month, with higher packs at ₹699 and ₹899 depending on usage.
  • This ensures zero downtime; riders don’t waste hours waiting for charging.

Compared to Ola S1 Air or Hero Vida VX2, where you must plug in and wait, Wynn’s battery swap gives it a serious advantage for city use.

Wynn vs Competitors

Feature Yulu Wynn Hero Vida VX2 Ola S1 Air
Price (ex-showroom) ₹55,555 ~₹85,000 ~₹1,20,000
Range 68 km 80 km 125 km
Top Speed 25 km/h 55 km/h 90 km/h
Battery Model Swap (BaaS) Fixed/Replaceable Fixed
License Needed ❌ No ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Ideal For Students, city commuters Regular urban riders Long distance & performance riders

The comparison shows Wynn isn’t built for speed junkies, but for short, daily, and budget-friendly rides, it’s unbeatable.

Cost of Ownership

Today, a petrol scooter is running ₹2.5-3 per km. Wynn is running at 70 paise/km. Add in the fact there is zero license/tax/insurance issue, total savings vs a petrol scooter can be ₹20,000-30,000 per year.

A massive difference for delivery agents or students.

Who Should Buy the Wynn?

  • Students in college that want to have a stylish ride with no license.
  • Office commuters that need to get to work and back in an affordable and quick manner.
  • Delivery staff that benefit greatly from battery swaps and economical operating costs.
  • Eco conscious consumers who want a clean and green alternative.

If you are making a daily ride of less than 10 - 15 km one way, Wynn is the perfect fit.

The Trust of Yulu

Yulu has already deployed 10,000+ EVs into India's ride sharing marketplace, and with their many years in shared mobility, EV battery swapping, and app-based support, Yulu has provided Wynn owners unrivaled peace of mind. With Yulu's network of swap stations for 20,000 battery, the buyers will use a future-ready ecosystem.

Conclusion

The Yulu Wynn e-scooter is not commodified by having speed or luxury, but an opportunity for accessibility, affordability, and practicality. The Wynn, priced at ₹55,555, is stylish enough for urban commuting with intelligent features, app integration, and India's first real battery as a service, or 'BaaS' model.

In a world where petrol scooters are burning holes in people's wallets, Wynn is making EV commuting a reality rather than just a dream.

For anyone looking for a hassle-free, budget EV option for urban commuting in 2025, the Yulu Wynn needs to be at the top of your wish list.
