Design & Build Quality
The Numeros N-First is one of those scooters that doesn’t try too hard. No over-styled LED bars, no aggressive creases, no futuristic pretence. It looks like a proper old-school moped and that, believe it or not, is refreshing.
The front is slim, upright and very easy on the eye. The circular LED headlamp gives it a classic touch, and the scooter runs on tall 16-inch wheels, which instantly give it a unique stance. No disc brake here, just drums but, for the price segment, it makes sense.
From the side, the scooter remains clean and uncluttered. Flat panels, basic decals, and a clear mention of the 3 kWh battery (on the IMAX+ trim). The rear is purely functional LED tail-lamp, strongly mounted indicators, and a full sari guard.
Practicality & Ergonomics
This is a scooter built for everyday life. No drama, no complications.
Seat & Seating
- Long, wide split-seat setup
- Supportive, but a little too firm for short city hops
- Plenty of space even for larger riders
Storage
- Covered storage under the pillion seat
- Battery + charger placement under the rider seat
- Two luggage hooks
- A well-shaped cubby for your phone
- USB charging port
- And the best feature: a physical mobile dock
Even a large iPhone 15 Pro Max fits snugly. Using maps while charging the phone becomes effortless.
Reverse Assist
A simple button activates reverse mode with an audible beep. Extremely useful while parking in tight spaces.
Features & Tech
The speedometer is as basic as it gets—and honestly, that’s fine.
You get:
- Speed
- Range
- Battery SOC
- Trip A/B
- Riding modes
- Regen indicator
Switchgear quality is decent, functional and straightforward.
Riding Modes
- Eco: 45 kmph
- Normal: 55 kmph
- Sport: 70 kmph (only on 3 kWh variants)
You can switch modes on the go, even with the throttle partially open.
Ride & Performance
Before you judge this scooter, remember why it exists: to make daily commuting simple, affordable and reliable.
With that in mind, the N-First does its job well.
Performance
- Peak power: 2.5 kW or 3.3 hp (IMAX+) / 1.8 kW oe 2.5 hp (lower variants)
- Peak torque: 34 Nm
- Top speed: 55–70 kmph
- Range: 91–109 km (IDC)
In real-world city riding:
- It feels peppy from a standstill
- Keeps up with traffic easily
- Feels light and nimble
- Doesn’t feel sluggish even with a pillion
Power delivery is progressive and unintimidating for first-time riders. The throttle continues delivering power for a fraction of a second after you roll off. Not a deal-breaker, but worth getting used to.
Ride Quality
Suspension is tuned nicely for broken Indian roads:
- Telescopic fork absorbs bumps well
- Rear shocks don’t feel overly soft or harsh
Braking
This is the only area where I felt room for improvement. The dual drum setup does the job, but:
- The bite could be sharper
- The stopping distance is longer than ideal
Not unsafe, but you’ll want to familiarise yourself with the braking behaviour.
Tyres & Grip
Eurogrip tyres held up well. No skidding, no nervous behaviour, even during hard braking.
Verdict
The Numeros N- First is not trying to be the next Ola, Ather or TVS. It’s not chasing fancy screens or sporty performance. It’s built with one clear philosophy i.e. make a simple electric scooter that works every single day.
If you want a real-world electric scooter that simply does its job and does it well, the Numeros N- First deserves a test ride.
