The electric two-wheeler segment has grown quite a lot in India with many OEM’s looking to enter the segment with models that are eco-friendly, efficient yet get you the ‘zeal’ factor you look for in your ride! One such rival is the Benling Aura, a high-speed electric scooter targeting Ather 450X and Bajaj Chetak Electric. The Benling Aura is priced aggressively and packs in features along with good performance. Let’s take a closer look at the price, features, range and performance of this electric scooter.

Benling Aura Price And Variants

Benling Aura Electric Scooter is priced at ₹91,667 (ex-showroom). This really helps in increasing affordability for people who plan to shift to electric mobility without being burdened with high costs for transition. Variant-wise, only, one version is available called the Aura Standard and it also has three attractive color options which include matte black, matte purple and gloss blue. In fact, the Benling Aura is also available for an EMI of ₹3,145/month, which makes it even more accessible for potential buyers.

Battery & Charging of Benling Aura

It has a 2.5 kW BLDC motor along with a 72V/40Ah lithium-ion battery. This combination also grants you a respectable average range of 120 km on a single charge (assuming you ride the scooter in Eco mode). Charging the Aura takes just 6 Hr to go from 0-100% with a standard charger and thus among the stronger points of the Aura. A full charge takes about 4 hours but this can be reduced using a fast-charging setup.

The impressive performance, along with the scooter’s range and fast charging features, makes the Benling Aura a practical and efficient choice for daily commuting as well as shorter travels. For a quick errand or a city commute, this scooter will take you there without a lot of fuss.

Performance and Top Speed

Not just in the range and efficiency department, but also delivers decent performance in urban and semi-urban road conditions. The Aura is a high-speed electric scooter with a top speed of 60 km/h, making it suitable for short commutes and use on a day-to-day basis. The Benling Aura is, however, not the fastest e-scooter around, and is slower than other premium e-scooters in the same, high-speed, category like the Ather 450X.

There are also four riding modes for the Aura – Eco, Low, Sports and Turbo Speed. Each mode is intended to provide progressively more power and efficiency, Turbo Speed being the mode for when you just want to overtake someone quickly. The lightweight 2.5 kW motor is well suited for city streets and ensures that the scooter performs well in all conditions, whether it be hill climbs or bumpy roads.

Features and Design

The Aura is designed for both form and function by Benling. The design of the scooter takes after old-Italian scooters and is sleek, retro, and modern at the same time. On the feature side, the Aura is loaded up with advanced tech to enrich the riding experience:

• USB Charging Port: Recharge your gadgets while you travel.
• All-Digital Console: For a full-fledged dashboard with all the relevant details.
• Smart Key and Anti-Theft Alarm: Keeps your scooter secure.
• Engine start / stop button: For the convenience of rapid ignition.
• Parking Assist Mode: A feature that makes parking easier, especially in tight spaces.
• Roadside Assistance: To ensure help is only a button press away in case you have any issues.

The Benling Aura comes with telescopic forks at the front and a monoshock at the rear, so that should lead to a fairly compliant ride over bumps and potholes. For braking duties, the scooter employs a front disc brake along with a rear drum brake that provide reliable stopping power.

Competitors and the Industry Position

The Benling Aura is a contender in the mid-range electric scooter market that is turning quite a few heads in the electric scooter space. The iOniq 5 also competes with electric scooters like the Ather 450X, Bajaj Chetak Electric and AVIS and at a price point that brings both range and performance. Now, while these scooters might offer other top-end performance or features, the Benling Aura firmly bets in providing enthusiasts with a budget-friendly, accessible and reliable option to start their own electric mobility journey without breaking the bank.

Conclusion

With a well-balanced combination of performance, style, and price, the Benling Aura is an attractive option for buyers looking for their first electric scooter. Although it is not the fastest scooter in town, its competitive pricing, decent range, and well-thought-out features make it a solid contender in the segment. To wrap up, the Benling Aura is certainly something you should take a closer look at if you’re in search of a practical and stylish electric scooter that also embraces an eco-Friendly lifestyle.
