Boom Motors is a Coimbatore, Tamilnadu-based company, they have paid around 2 years to research and development of an electric scooter and finally, come up with an all-new segment of a rugged product named Corbett. Corbett is a moto scooter means it is a combination of motorcycle and scooter.
Corbett is launched in two variants first is Corbett 14 and the second is Corbett 14 ES. The major difference between these is the range and little bit of power. Corbett has a very different design which looks like old-school mopeds but it is good in its work. Let’s start exploring extensively Corbett 14 and Corbett 14 ES.
Boom Motors Corbett Looks
Corbett 14 and Corbett 14 EX both look the same. These scooters carry the old old-school moped-style if you remember Hero Puch. These Corbetts are looking macho because of their naked frame.
If we talk about the front profile of the Corbett, you can see the round LED headlight with LED DRLs and naked suspension. The big size alloy wheels, sleek mudguard, and disc brakes add to the looks of it.
From the side, you can see the dual-tone finish of the electric scooter. The frame comes in different colours. At the starting of the frame, you get blinkers and below that, you can find a leg guard. If we come near to the rear tyre you can see the branding of “CORBETT” there. You also get a saree guard and a grab handle for the pillion that are great utility features to have.
The rear of the Corbett is quite simple. You get a straight strip of LED lights that have tail lights and blinkers in them. Underneath you find some space for the number plate and after that, you get a reflector.
Boom Motors Corbett Space
