A few weeks ago we brought to you an exclusive review of the Mahindra Genze electric scooter all the way from San Francisco. The Genze scooter is purpose built to be a workhorse with just one seat and a loading bay at the rear which gives it an immediate distinction as compared to the other two wheelers available in the segment. We knew Mahindra was testing the Genze scooters in India for reliability trials and now, one such prototype has been spied doing the test rounds. Although India is being used as a test bed for the electric scooter, it is however unlikely that it will get launched here anytime soon primarily due to price and segmentation reasons.

The KTM 250 Duke Special Edition was recently launched in Thailand at the Bangkok International Motor Show 2018.

The KTM 250 Duke Special Edition gets a host of cosmetic upgrades for a more funky and urban appeal than the standard model.
