Mahindra Genze Electric Scooter Spied Testing In India
A few weeks ago we brought to you an exclusive review of the Mahindra Genze electric scooter all the way from San Francisco.

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.
