Ninety One Meraki 27.5T Alloy 13Ah 7S
The Ninety One Meraki 27.5T Alloy 13Ah 7S is a mountain-styled electric cycle for riders who want real trail-capable gearing and the longest range in Ninety One's lineup, priced at Rs 48,356 ex-showroom with a manufacturer-claimed range of up to 55 km per charge. It pairs a 300W hub motor with throttle and 5-level pedal assist on a lightweight alloy frame, so you can choose a full workout or let the motor carry you up the hills. It's the flagship of the Meraki range: built for longer rides or rougher roads, not just a flat footpath cruise.
Is the Ninety One Meraki 27.5T Alloy 13Ah 7S right for you?
Best for
- Riders who want proper 7-speed Shimano gearing to handle inclines and uneven roads, not just flat commutes
- Commuters chasing the longest claimed range in the Ninety One e-cycle lineup, with margin for a 15-20km one-way ride
- Buyers who want both throttle (twist-and-go) and pedal assist, so they can switch between effortless riding and exercise on the same cycle
- Someone who's fine riding a 22.5kg e-cycle daily rather than needing to lift or carry it often
Think twice if
- Weight-conscious buyers who need to carry the cycle up stairs or store it in a small space - this isn't a folding or lightweight model
- Anyone on a tight budget - it's the priciest e-cycle in Ninety One's own range
- Buyers who want a simple city cruiser look rather than an MTB-styled frame and off-road stance
- Riders who assume any 'electric cycle' is automatically free of RTO paperwork - the Meraki's 300W throttle motor sits above the 250W pedal-assist-only exemption limit, so this needs checking, not assuming
Available colours
3 exterior colours offered. Swatches are approximate on-screen representations, not official paint codes, and availability can vary by variant.
Variants, specs, on-road price and running cost
A pedal-assist e-cycle up to 250W and 25 km/h needs no RTO registration, road tax, licence or insurance in India, so the on-road price is the ex-showroom price. Throttle or higher-power models may need registration - check the variant spec.

FAQ
What's the Meraki's real-world range, not just the claimed 55km?
Ninety One's 55km figure is a manufacturer claim from the 468Wh battery, almost certainly measured on the lowest pedal-assist level with a light rider on flat, smooth roads. Real-world range drops with throttle-only riding, higher assist levels, a heavier rider, hills, or wind. Budget for meaningfully less, especially if you lean on the throttle - treat 55km as a best-case ceiling, not a daily promise.
Does the Meraki have a throttle, or is it pedal-assist only?
Both. It has a throttle for twist-and-go riding plus 5 levels of pedal assist, shown on a colour IP65-rated display, so you can pick effort-free cruising or a proper workout. That flexibility is a strong point of this model, but it's also exactly why the registration question below matters more than it would on a plain pedal-assist cycle.
Do I need RTO registration, a licence or insurance to ride this in India?
E-cycles in India are typically exempt from registration, licence and insurance only when the motor is capped at 250W, there's no throttle, and top speed stays at 25kmph on pedal assist alone. The Meraki's motor is rated at 300W and it has a throttle, which puts it above that clean-exemption threshold. State-level enforcement varies and isn't always consistent, so check with your local RTO before assuming this is paperwork-free, particularly if you'll use the throttle regularly.
How long does it take to charge, and what does a full charge cost?
Ninety One hasn't published a charging time for this variant, so we won't guess one - ask your dealer for the charger's exact output before you buy if charge time is a deciding factor for you. On cost, though, the math is simple: a 468Wh battery draws under half a unit of household electricity per full charge, so it costs only a few rupees regardless of how long it takes.
Which variant should I buy - is there a cheaper Meraki option?
There's only one variant: the 27.5T Alloy 13Ah 7-Speed at Rs 48,356 ex-showroom. If that's above budget, Ninety One's other e-cycles sit lower in the range - the Meraki is deliberately positioned as the flagship, priced highest because it carries the biggest battery and the only 7-speed gearing in the lineup. Also worth confirming current stock, since this model was listed out of stock on Ninety One's official store at the time of this research.
