iGowise Mobility has announced the launch of its updated BeiGo X4 electric trike, built on what the company calls an upgraded Gen-3 platform, with an introductory price of ₹1.25 lakh. It’s a genuinely distinctive product in India’s crowded electric two-wheeler market — not a scooter in the conventional sense, but a three-wheeled “trike” that leans into corners like a motorcycle while relying on its twin rear wheels for added stability, aimed specifically at riders who’ve historically found three-wheelers awkward or unstable to handle.
The Price Comes With a Ticking Clock
What “Gen-3” Actually Means Here
It’s worth being upfront about something a bit unusual with this launch: the BeiGo X4 name isn’t new. iGowise has sold versions of this trike under the same name for a few years now, with earlier iterations offered at different price points and battery configurations, including a three-variant lineup launched for preorder in late 2025 priced between ₹1.45 lakh and ₹1.97 lakh. This latest version is described specifically as running on an “upgraded Gen-3 platform,” which suggests a genuinely revised underlying design rather than just a fresh coat of paint on the same product — though iGowise hasn’t published a detailed breakdown of exactly what’s changed between this Gen-3 platform and the trike’s earlier versions. Treat this as the current, most up-to-date BeiGo X4 rather than assuming its specifications carry over identically from what iGowise has sold under this name before.
The Core Idea: Stability Without Sacrificing Agility
The technology underpinning the BeiGo X4 is its patented anti-topple “gimbal” tilting system — a mechanism that allows the trike to lean naturally into corners at low speeds, the way a two-wheeler would, while its twin rear wheels maintain grip and stability, including on uneven road surfaces. The stated goal is fairly specific: solve the handling and stability concerns that have historically kept three-wheeled scooters from gaining real traction in India’s two-wheeler market, where most riders are used to the leaning, intuitive feel of a conventional motorcycle or scooter rather than the more rigid stance of a typical trike.
Notably, the company has said the BeiGo X4 only requires a standard motorcycle license to ride, and doesn’t need any more parking space than a typical two-wheeler — both genuinely important practical details for a vehicle that might otherwise be assumed to need special licensing or extra space, given its unconventional three-wheeled layout.
Range, Charging, and What’s Confirmed for This Launch
For this specific Gen-3 launch, iGowise is quoting a 100km IDC-certified range on a single charge, with a charging time of around 100 minutes. As with any manufacturer-claimed range figure, real-world results will likely vary depending on rider weight, road conditions, and riding style, and it’s worth waiting for independent test rides or early owner feedback before treating 100km as a guaranteed daily figure.
A Genuinely Long Development Timeline
Business Plans and Targets
iGowise has set a fairly concrete target for its first year of deliveries: 1,000 vehicles by the end of FY2026-27. That’s a modest number by the standards of mainstream electric scooter brands selling tens of thousands of units a month, but for a genuinely new product category from a startup, it reads as a sensibly cautious opening target rather than an overreach. Customer deliveries are scheduled to begin during the Diwali season, giving early bookers a relatively short wait between the October 2026 launch and actually getting their hands on the trike.
Who This Is Actually For
Coverage of the launch has framed the BeiGo X4 as giving retailers and mobility operators — not just individual buyers — a premium, stability-led electric scooter proposition, suggesting iGowise sees a genuine opportunity here beyond direct-to-consumer sales, potentially including fleet or last-mile delivery use cases where stability and rider confidence matter as much as raw efficiency. That’s consistent with how earlier versions of the BeiGo X4 were positioned too, with the company previously emphasising the trike’s suitability for riders across a range of ages and physical comfort levels, given the added confidence its stability design is meant to provide over a conventional two-wheeler.

What Happens Next
With the October 2026 launch date set and deliveries targeted for Diwali, the more concrete technical details — exact motor output, top speed, and full battery specifications for this specific Gen-3 version — are likely to follow closer to launch. Until iGowise publishes those numbers directly, it’s worth treating this announcement as confirming the trike’s pricing, timeline, and broad concept rather than a complete, final spec sheet.
