The scooter will have 4G connectivity, an in-built Google Assistant to offer advanced internet-backed features, and an all-LED lighting setup. Also, it will flaunt a carbon fiber finish with green pinstripe accents.

Safety
The two-wheeler will get disc brakes and inverted front forks
To ensure the safety of the rider, the Trouve H2 maxi-style scooter shall be equipped with disc brakes with two-piston calipers on both the front and rear wheels for a "better initial bite and brake feel."
