iGowise Mobility has opened dealership applications for its **BE iGO X4 electric utility three-wheeler**, with Bengaluru and Hyderabad receiving initial priority. The company is preparing for planned customer deliveries around Diwali.

## iGowise dealership investment and outlet format

According to Autocar Professional, the Franchise Owned, Franchise Operated (FOFO) proposal includes an 800 sq ft experience centre with an estimated investment of **INR 15-20 lakh**, including inventory and working capital. A larger 1,800 sq ft format is also offered.

The company's planned expansion covers Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai and Panaji over six months. Reported commercial terms include a 10% base dealer margin and a separate Franchise Owned, Company Operated (FOCO) option. These are company proposals, subject to final agreements.

## Where the BE iGO X4 fits

The vehicle is positioned for last-mile deliveries, small businesses and family use. Its narrow-tilting design combines leaning movement with twin rear wheels. The company describes an LFP battery system and home-charging capability.

## What an EV dealership applicant should check

**BestEV analysis:** A quoted outlet investment is a starting point for due diligence. Before committing, an applicant should request a written breakdown covering rent deposits, interiors, demonstrator vehicles, opening stock, service equipment, staff training and cash needed during the initial sales period.

Clarify which expenses are included in the proposed budget and which remain the dealer's responsibility. Also establish who pays for warranty labour, how quickly spare parts arrive and how unsold stock is handled.

A dealer margin is a gross commercial term. Rent, payroll, discounts, local marketing and finance costs still need to be accounted for before estimating operating profit.

## How to evaluate local demand for an electric utility vehicle

A useful market survey begins with specific users: neighbourhood delivery businesses, small retailers and households needing short-distance mobility. Test whether the vehicle suits their daily route, parking space, passenger or cargo requirements and charging access.

Prospective dealers should ask for local test rides with representative loads. Customers should receive clear documentation on registration, insurance, warranty and service support before booking.

The strongest showroom proposition will combine a convincing vehicle demonstration with accessible after-sales service. Online enquiries alone do not establish sustainable monthly demand.

## Questions for the dealer agreement

Ask how territories are allocated, whether exclusivity is conditional on sales targets, and what happens if targets are missed. Review inventory ownership, finance charges, exit conditions and any buy-back arrangement in the actual contract.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is FOFO the same as FOCO?
FOFO generally means the franchisee owns and operates the outlet; FOCO means franchise ownership with company operation. The agreement defines the responsibilities.

### Is a dealer margin the same as profit?
No. Operating expenses and other deductions must be accounted for.

### Has BestEV verified investment returns?
No. This article reports the dealership proposal and provides practical evaluation questions; it does not project returns.
