Qargos, a Pune-based EV startup has unveiled the F9, its latest utility-focused electric scooter. Featuring a prominent ‘block-shaped’ front section, the F9 has a massive claimed 225-litre storage area, the largest in any scooter across the world. For reference, this is roughly four times the size of the total storage area offered by a River Indie. It is still not confirmed when the scooter will go on sale in the Indian market.

The e-scooter can only accommodate one passenger
Visually, the e-scooter sports a futuristic, slightly quirky design, with its LED headlamp integrated into the large block-like body panel that houses the storage compartment. The storage compartment comes with a 120 kg load-bearing capacity and can be customised to act as a refrigerated compartment, mobile store or for roadside assistance activities among other applications. It has a very short rear end, with seating only for one passenger. It can also be observed that the e-scooter comes with a digital instrument cluster.

On the powertrain front, the Qargos F9 is equipped with a 3.4 kW BLDC hub motor and has a top speed of 80 kmph. The battery setup, on the other hand, consists of a 6.1 kWh Lithium-ion battery that enables a claimed real-world range of up to 150 km.
