However, what's impressive about the new electric scooter from the electronics manufacturer is its price. The Xiaomi Ninebot C30 was offered in the Chinese market with an introductory price of 2,000 yuan (equivalent to around Rs 21,300 with the current exchange rates).

This price has since then been increased to 3599 yuan, equivalent to around Rs 38,500, exclusive of taxes. However, this still makes it one of the most affordable electric scooters, less expensive than even some mid-range smartphones in the market.
