The River Indie Gen 3 retains the same layout and design but gets upgraded tyres for better grip, a redesigned display with a clutter-free look, an integrated range and charging details, and integration of ride statistics in the mobile app. The e-scooter also gets hill-hold assist, customisable data points, and real-time charging status across different modes. River says the improvements have been developed through rigorous internal testing and insights from riders.

Every element, from the scooter to the store, has been created to offer a seamless and immersive experience for our customers.”

River EV's Dealership Expansion Plan

River’s latest outlet is located in Delhi, and is spread over 6,300 sq.ft. The brand is now operational across 34 stores pan-India, and has outlets in Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Pune, Kochi, Coimbatore, Patna, and Hubli. The company says it plans to open 80 stores by March 2026 and will further expand across North India with outlets in Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Gujarat.

River says its monthly sales crossed the 1,800-unit milestone in March 2025, a reflection of the surge in demand for the Indie EV. The company is optimistic that its expansion into key markets like Delhi will help build volumes further. The River Indie competes against a host of offerings, including the Ather Rizta, Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, and more.
