KEEWAY’s decision to associate with Adishwar Auto Ride India will bode favorably for them as they can take advantage of an established dealer network of 40+ dealers across the country, along with an assembly plant that is well equipped to meet their growth ambitions.
Working closely with Benelli India, Keeway intends to bring 8 products to India, ranging from Scooters, Cruisers, Sports Motorcycles and Retro Street Motorcycles. 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 26th 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.
