Today, Acer has announced its first EV scooter, the MUVI 125 4G in India. The company announced the EV scooter at the EV India 2023 event, which is happening at Expo Mart, Greater Noida. Along with Acer, many brands have come to the event to showcase their EV vehicles. Acer has collaborated with eBikeGo to make this scooter. eBikeGo is one of the leading companies in India that rolls out EV vehicles.
Acer has not revealed much about the MUVI 125 4G at the event, as it was just an announcement. The company is expected to roll out its first EV scooter around Diwali, which is happening in November. However, they revealed some specifications.

The all-new MUVI 125 4G will be equipped with two swappable batteries. Now what are swappable batteries? The swappable batteries are the batteries that can be swapped from the Battery Swap Stations. Not many of them are available in India yet but with more swappable battery vehicles, we could see a rise in the stations. Next up, it comes with 16-inch wheels and what Acer calls a “Data-driven Design”.
According to a report by Car&Bike, MUVI scooters are the products of a French company known as Torrot. In 2021, eBikeGo acquired the manufacturing rights of MUVI scooters from Torrot. This means the EV scooter has already been rolled out in the European market. And now it is coming to India but Acer will sell it.
