Horwin, the China-based EV maker has announced the launch of the new 2022 SK3 electric scooter in its home market. The new SK3 comes out as a long-range EV that supports connectivity features and utility-oriented boot space. 

While previously, the 2021 SK3 electric scooter featured a limited 80 km range capacity, the newly updated unit gets a much longer 300 km full charge range from its twin battery setup. Both the new batteries individually deliver close to 160 km on a single charge. Needless to add, even in its single battery configuration, the SK3 delivers more range than a majority of electric scooters sold in the Indian market currently. 

The new Horwin SK3 gets a 72V36Ah battery pack which juices up its 3.1kW motor with 6.3kW power output. This motor pushes the scooter to a top speed of 90 kmph.

The new SK3 also packs a slew of features that make it a fairly modern offering. Some of the key features of the scooter include its full-colour TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, a keyless power system, and cruise control.

In terms of aesthetics, it gets sharp and muscular body panels that lend to its premium appeal. There is a twin-beam LED headlamp set up at the front which is capped with a dark tined, large windscreen. Its sporty looks are also complemented by the use of also alloy wheels.
