In addition, it has a removable lithium-ion battery that can be recharged at any standard electrical outlet.

The vehicle is designed to help overcome the challenges associated with pollution, traffic congestion, parking hassles, and the limitations of public transportation for a commuter.

The two-wheeler is slated for a California debut in a few months.

For Mahindra, Formula E event is an opportunity to exhibit the future of sustainable transportation.
