CollarEV has introduced an electric two-wheeler called 'Moon', built specifically for last-mile delivery and commercial fleet operations in India. The vehicle was announced on March 16, 2026, in New Delhi, with pre-bookings now open through the company's official website. The launch marks CollarEV's entry into a segment the company believes is underserved by existing electric vehicle offerings in the country.
The Moon is priced between ₹79,999 and ₹89,999, positioning it as a mid-range option for small businesses, fleet operators, and individual delivery workers looking to shift away from petrol-powered two-wheelers. The company has not yet disclosed the exact on-road price or whether the figure includes applicable subsidies under government EV schemes.
On the technical side, the Moon is powered by a 51.2V, 45Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery with a 2.3 kWh capacity, offering a claimed range of 135 km on a single charge. LFP chemistry is generally considered more thermally stable and longer-lasting than other lithium-ion variants, making it a common choice for commercial applications where durability and cycle life are priorities. The battery can charge from zero to 80% in approximately two hours, with a full charge taking around 2.5 hours. CollarEV states the battery pack is rated for over 1,000 charging cycles, which the company says translates to a longer operational lifespan compared to some alternatives currently available in the B2B segment.
The vehicle is driven by a BLDC hub motor rated at 1,500W continuous power, with a peak output of 2,200W. It produces 95 Nm of torque at the wheel, which the company says supports its payload capacity of up to 150 kg — a specification relevant for delivery applications involving heavier loads. Top speed is capped at 50 km/h, in line with low-speed electric vehicle norms. The vehicle features dual disc brakes, 12-inch wheels, and is built on a fully metal chassis and body, which CollarEV says reduces maintenance requirements compared to vehicles with plastic or composite structural elements.
For fleet management, the Moon includes a TFT display with integrated telematics for real-time asset tracking and monitoring. It also supports keyless start and stop functionality. The platform is designed to accommodate interchangeable utility attachments, allowing operators to configure the vehicle for different delivery and logistics requirements.
CollarEV founder Tikendra Yadav said the vehicle is intended to address reliability gaps in a segment currently dominated by low-cost imported products. "Much of the current B2B electric two-wheeler market in India is dominated by low-cost imported vehicles that often face challenges in durability and after-sales reliability," Yadav said, adding that the Moon's design prioritises long-term performance over upfront cost savings.
On battery technology, CollarEV offers a lifetime battery replacement or upgrade option backed by IoT-based monitoring systems for real-time battery health tracking. The company is also currently testing supercapacitor-assisted battery technology, which it says could further improve charging speed and overall battery lifecycle performance. Separately, CollarEV is working on EDLC-based battery technology that it claims could extend range while cutting charging times by up to 50%.
The Moon's launch comes at a time when India's two-wheeler market is showing strong but uneven EV adoption. The segment recorded total sales of over 20 million units in 2025, yet electric two-wheelers accounted for only around 1.4 million of those — roughly 7% of the total. While consumer-facing electric scooters from brands such as Ola Electric, Ather, and TVS have gained traction in urban markets, the commercial delivery segment has seen comparatively less targeted product development. CollarEV is positioning the Moon to fill that gap, particularly for operators who have found existing consumer EVs unsuitable for daily high-load commercial use.
The vehicle is primarily targeted at last-mile delivery companies, logistics and mobility aggregators, fleet operators, and delivery executives. CollarEV also sees potential in more localised use cases, including milk distribution, produce delivery, small retail logistics, rural transportation, and agricultural supply chains — particularly in Tier-3 and Tier-4 regions where affordable and durable mobility solutions are in short supply.
Initial rollout will focus on Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities before expanding into rural and semi-urban markets, though the company has not provided a detailed distribution or service network plan at this stage.
Looking ahead, CollarEV has indicated it plans to launch a consumer-facing electric scooter between May and June 2026, which Yadav described as a "first in segment" product for the B2C market. The company was founded by Yadav, who also founded Pepfuels in 2017, an ONGC-funded startup operating in the energy sector.
