Emobi Manufactury Pvt. Ltd., an emerging electric two-wheeler manufacturer based in Karnataka, has deployed 100 AKX Kyari electric scooters in Bengaluru. These are powered by Musashi’s advanced e-axle system and battery-swapping services enabled through Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt. Ltd. (HEID)’s e:Swap network. The deployment marks a significant step towards high-range, high-speed, and lower cost-of-ownership mobility for last-mile logistics operators.
The vehicles have been manufactured for Tekinverse, which leases them to Muvnw rider-partners under a micro-fleet model designed to create sustainable livelihood opportunities. By combining low operating costs with reliable vehicle availability, the programme enables riders to earn more while reducing dependence on fuel-intensive alternatives.
The AKX Kyari EV delivers performance on par with conventional 125cc ICE scooters. It offers an IDC range of 106 km, a top speed of 80 km/h, and acceleration from 0–60 km/h in 12 seconds, making it suitable for India’s demanding logistics requirements. The vehicle features 3.7 kW peak motor power, 1.5 kWh dual swappable battery packs, and a Sync Brake (Combi Brake) system for enhanced safety and control.
“This deployment is more than a milestone; it is a shift towards scalable micro-entrepreneurship,” said Bharath Rao, CEO & Co-Founder, Emobi. “By integrating high-performance EV technology with reliable battery-swapping and strong local service support, we are building an ecosystem where electric mobility becomes the most accessible, efficient, and profitable choice for every rider.”
As part of Emobi’s service framework, Tekinverse and Muvnw ensure fleet uptime through defined service-level agreements, trained maintenance engineers, and responsive roadside assistance. Emobi is also scaling its micro-factory and micro-fleet service model across metro cities, starting with Delhi NCR, to support higher deployment volumes and upcoming product expansions.
Commenting on the collaboration, Naoya Nishimura, CEO, Musashi India and Africa Region, said: “This deployment demonstrates the real-world impact of India-led innovation in electric mobility. Our partnership with Emobi shows how localised e-axle engineering, combined with a robust battery-swapping ecosystem, can unlock dependable, high-uptime EV solutions for last-mile logistics. As India accelerates EV adoption, such integrated collaborations will play a critical role in strengthening the country’s mobility landscape.”
Tomohide Haraguchi, Vice President and CTO, Honda Power Pack Energy India Pvt. Ltd., added: “HEID is deploying Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) using safe and robust Honda Mobile Power Pack e: (MPP) and Honda Power Pack Exchanger e: (BEX), derived from Honda’s long-standing expertise. This solution reduces charging downtime in B2B operations, lowers upfront vehicle costs by eliminating battery purchase, and removes future battery replacement concerns. Combined with an automotive-grade e-axle, it delivers unmatched efficiency for B2B mobility.”
The deployment of these 100 EVs marks a collaborative step forward in building reliable, sustainable, and scalable mobility solutions for India’s logistics sector. As battery-swapping networks expand and localised EV technologies mature, partnerships among technology providers, manufacturers, and fleet operators will continue to shape the next phase of India’s electric mobility ecosystem.
