The scooter has a wheelbase of 1319mm, a seat height of 765mm and the ground clearance of 170mm. The scooter looks modern yet elegant with its sharp-looking angular panels and overall slim profile.

The scooter is offered in two variants, the entry-level variant is called Nexus EX and the top variant is named Nexus ST.

The scooter gets five riding modes (Eco, City, Power, Limp Home, and Reverse) and it also has hill hold functionality.
