Question 1

What motor, battery, riding modes and transmission does the Numeros n-First get?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First uses a mid-mounted PMSM electric motor paired with a chain drive instead of the hub motor found on most electric scooters.

Powertrain specifications:

Motor: Mid-mounted PMSM motor
Peak Power: Up to 2.5 kW (i-max+)
Peak Torque: 34 Nm
Battery: 2.5 kWh or 3.0 kWh removable lithium-ion battery
Transmission: Chain drive
Riding Modes: Eco and Normal (Max/i-max), Eco, Normal, and Sport (i-max+)
Reverse Mode: Available on all variants

The chain-drive setup gives the scooter a more motorcycle-like riding feel while improving weight distribution.

Question 2

What is the top speed of the Numeros n-First?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The top speed of the Numeros n-First depends on the variant you choose.

n-First Max & i-max: Up to 55 kmph
n-First i-max+: Up to 70 kmph

The lower variants are designed primarily for city commuting, while the i-max+ offers enough performance for faster urban roads and short highway stretches.

Question 3

Can the Numeros n-First be used for highway rides?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First is built mainly for city riding. The top-spec i-max+ variant, with its 70 kmph top speed, can handle short highway rides when traffic is moving at moderate speeds. However, it is not designed for frequent highway touring. Its performance and range are better suited to daily commutes, office runs and urban travel rather than long-distance highway journeys.

Question 4

What is the kerb weight of the Numeros n-First?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The kerb weight of the Numeros n-First varies depending on the variant:

n-First Max & i-max: 112 kg
n-First i-max+: 117 kg

Although it is slightly heavier than some entry-level electric scooters, the weight is well balanced thanks to the mid-mounted motor and centrally positioned battery, making it easy to ride in city traffic.

Question 5

What is the seat height of the Numeros n-First?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First has a seat height of 791 mm. Despite the number, its narrow profile makes it easy for most riders to place their feet comfortably on the ground while stopping. Riders around 5 ft 5 in and taller should be able to flat-foot the scooter comfortably. However, riders close to 6 ft may find the handlebars brushing against their knees during tight U-turns due to the riding position.

Question 6

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First offers 159 mm of ground clearance which is sufficient for most Indian roads, speed breakers and potholes.

Question 7

Is the Numeros n-First comfortable for daily commuting?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Yes. The Numeros n-First is designed with city commuting in mind. Its upright riding position, large 16-inch wheels and well-balanced chassis make it comfortable to ride through traffic and over broken roads. The suspension absorbs most bumps well, while the lightweight handling makes parking and low-speed manoeuvres easy.

Question 8

Is the pillion seat comfortable on the Numeros n-First?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Question 9

How good are the brakes on the Numeros n-First?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First comes with drum brakes at both the front and rear, supported by a Combined Braking System (CBS). While it doesn't offer the stronger bite of disc brakes, the setup is adequate for everyday city riding.

Question 10

Can I track the Numeros n-First using my phone?

Question 11

Is the storage space on the Numeros n-First enough for daily use?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First offers multiple storage compartments instead of one large under-seat boot. They are useful for carrying small items like documents, a charger, a water bottle or everyday essentials. However, if you regularly carry a helmet or larger bags, rivals like the TVS iQube and Ola S1 Air offer more practical under-seat storage.

Question 12

How much range does the Numeros n-First deliver on a full charge?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The claimed range of the Numeros n-First depends on the battery pack:

2.5 kWh variants: Up to 91 km (IDC)
3.0 kWh i-max+: Up to 109 km (IDC)

In everyday city riding, the real-world range is lower. The top-spec i-max+ typically delivers around 65-77 km on a full charge, depending on the riding mode, traffic conditions, road conditions, and rider weight.

How long does it take to charge the Numeros n-First?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Charging time depends on the battery variant:

2.5 kWh battery: Around 5-6 hours

Every variant comes with a standard home charger that works with a regular 3-pin socket. The Numeros n-First does not support public DC fast charging.

Question 15

Does the Numeros n-First come with a removable battery?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

The Numeros n-First comes with a 3-year or 50,000 km warranty (whichever comes first) on key components such as the battery, motor and controller. The chassis frame is covered for 3 years or 75,000 km, while certain wear-and-tear parts, such as the suspension, have separate warranty terms.

Question 17

Is the Numeros n-First expensive to maintain?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

For most owners, routine maintenance costs are around Rs. 2,000 to Rs. 2,500 per year. This mainly includes chain cleaning and lubrication, brake inspection, tyre checks and other periodic servicing.

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Yes, if you're looking for an electric scooter that's comfortable, easy to ride and designed mainly for city commuting. Its large 16-inch wheels, removable battery and low running costs make it a practical option for daily use. However, if you want a higher top speed, a larger under-seat boot or stronger performance, alternatives like the TVS iQube or Ola S1 Air may suit your needs better.

Question 21

Numeros n-First vs TVS iQube: Which electric scooter should you buy?

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

It is better suited to riders who regularly encounter rough roads and prefer a more distinctive riding experience. Choose the TVS iQube for practicality and family use.

Question 23

CarAndBike · Accepted Answer

Both scooters use large wheels and are designed to offer better stability than conventional electric scooters. The BGauss RUV 350 offers more practicality with a larger storage area and a more conventional scooter layout. The Numeros n-First focuses on comfort, a removable battery and connected features such as live tracking and geo-fencing on higher variants. If you want a more traditional electric scooter, the BGauss RUV 350 is the better choice. If you prefer a unique design with motorcycle-like stability for daily city rides, the Numeros n-First is worth considering
