The S1 X lineup is effectively a more barebones version of the S1 Air, with a redesigned headlight, handlebar, circular rear-view mirrors and a flat floorboard. In terms of features, the S1 X models have a 4.3-inch segmented LCD, missing out on the 7.0-inch TFT touchscreen seen on the S1 Air and S1 Pro. The S1 X models also have a physical key, cruise control and app connectivity. A total of seven colour options will be available.
S1 X gets a segmented LCD dash instead of the S1 Air and S1 Pro’s touchscreen.
The S1 X features the same hub motor setup as the S1 Air which has a continuous output of 2.7 kW and peak output of 6 kW. The 3 kWh and 4 kWh versions can sprint from 0-40 kmph in a claimed 3.3 seconds and have a top speed of 90 kmph. The 2 kWh version is slower, with a claimed 0-40 kmph acceleration time of 4.1 seconds, and a lower top speed of 85 kmph.
The S1 X has a telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers mounted to a double-sided swingarm. The scooter has pressed steel wheels and drum brakes at both ends. Kerb weight is 101 kg for the 2 kWh variant, 108 kg for the 3 kWh variant and 112 kg for the 4 kWh variant.

The company has also chosen to not hike prices of other models after the FAME-II scheme ended on March 31. The S1 Pro is priced at Rs 1.30 lakh, while the S1 Air is priced at Rs 1.05 lakh. The S1 X Plus, meanwhile, will briefly be offered with a discount, which will bring its price down to Rs 84,999 (all prices, ex-showroom, including EMPS subsidy).
