Initially, the company is launching the K-LIGHT 250V cruiser, the VIESTE 300 maxi-scooter, and SIXTIES 300i retro classic scooter to cover a varied demographic of performance-oriented customers. These offerings will be followed by another cruiser, two retro street motorcycles, a naked street, and a race replica. Keeway products will be available for test rides at dealerships starting 26^th May, with deliveries starting from early June. Online bookings for the 3 products will begin from today at just INR 10,000. Customers can log onto www.keeway-india.com for details.

Speaking at the launch event, Mr. Vikas Jhabakh, Managing Director, KEEWAY India said, We are privileged and excited to introduce the young and energetic Hungarian marque “Keeway” to the Indian Market. We at Benelli India have been successfully operating in the uber-competitive Indian mobility market for years. In our tenure of catering to the unique needs of the Indian motoring enthusiast, we identified a requirement for an attractively designed, well-powered and reliably performing mobility products that are attuned to the price and quality conscious Indian buyer. To fulfill this need, we identified Benelli’s youthful Hungarian sibling Keeway as the right partner for us.

Keeway’s mobility products have not only been well received by the quality and design-oriented European markets, but have also performed exceptionally well in the demanding South Asian conditions.
