Realme may be working on its first electric scooter for launch in India

Realme may be working on an electric scooter to take on Xiaomi that already sells one.

Realme is not just a smartphone brand anymore. It now sells vacuum cleaners, air purifiers, washing machines, and whatnot. The next thing that Realme may now be working on is an electric scooter. It is not a surprise because Realme’s biggest rival, Xiaomi, already sells its electric scooters, although of a different kind, in China, while the parent company Oppo recently announced its Carlink smart car solution.

According to RushLane, Realme filed a trademark with the Indian regulator under the “vehicles, apparatus for locomotion by land, air or water” a few months after the company launched its first smartphone in India. Realme entered India’s smartphone market back in 2018, which means the company has had plans for an EV for a long time. A trademark does not necessarily mean the product will make it to the market, but given the growing demand for EVs, it would make sense if Realme wanted to enter that.
