Version 2026-10-8 · Last updated 15 October 2026
Updated on 15 October 2026: games no longer stop after ten minutes. A game lasts until you crash, and after 40,000 points the road slowly gets faster and busier. Scores already on the leaderboard stay as they are.
Updated on 10 October 2026: the campaign is extended. Technical problems on our side stopped many people from playing, so the closing time moved to 6:00 PM on Monday 19 October 2026 (it was 6:00 PM on Sunday 11 October). The TSL is handed over at our showroom on Vijayadashami, Tuesday 20 October 2026.
Updated on 9 October 2026: every game now counts as soon as it is scored. No game is held for review.
Updated on 9 October 2026: the closing time moved later, to 6:00 PM on Sunday 11 October 2026 (it was 12:00 noon that day).
Updated on 8 October 2026: the scooter and ₹5,000 prizes are now open to players anywhere in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, not only Hyderabad, and the first prize is now called the TSL (until now shown as the Single Light; it is the same scooter).
The campaign
The EV Tej Ride Challenge runs in the days before our showroom opens on 12 October. The exact opening and closing times are shown on the countdown on this site. This campaign closes at 6:00 PM, India time, on Monday 19 October 2026. When the clock runs out, no new games can be started. A game you started before then still counts if it reaches us within thirty minutes of the close. The leaderboard stays up and vouchers can still be redeemed — closing the game does not close the prizes.
Who can play
Anyone with an EV Tej account can play. You sign in with Google and finish the short registration form first — your name, mobile number and pincode — because a prize we cannot telephone anybody about is not a prize. One account per mobile number.
While the campaign is running, every game needs a signed-in, registered account. When no campaign is running, guest practice may be switched on so you can see what the game is like. A practice game is scored and then thrown away. It sets no record, appears on no leaderboard and wins nothing. The game says so on the screen before you start.
Who can win
The ranked leaderboard is the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana one. You are on it if the pincode on your profile is in Andhra Pradesh or Telangana — a pincode starting with 50, 51, 52 or 53. The scooter and the discount vouchers are collected in person at our showroom in Moula Ali.
If your pincode is outside Andhra Pradesh and Telangana you can still play and you still receive the ₹1,000 voucher that every player gets. You are not ranked for the scooter or the ₹5,000 prizes.
An account that has been suspended is not ranked.
How many games
Play as many times as you like. Your best score counts.
There is a pause of a few seconds between one game and the next, and a daily limit far above anything a person can play — it is there to stop automated play, and it resets at midnight, India time.
The test-ride bonus, when we switch it on for a campaign: once a member of staff closes your completed test ride — not when you book it — your scores count double from then on. It is applied once per account. While the bonus is switched off, no game is doubled, and the site shows no "2×" anywhere.
How the leaderboard works
One row per player, not one per game. Your position is set by your best score, so a bad game cannot cost you the place a good one earned.
How a game is scored. Every vehicle you overtake and every near miss is worth its points — bike 2, car or auto 5, lorry or bus 10, near miss 3 — multiplied by your speed at that moment and divided by ten. A car passed at 38.4 km/h is worth 19.2. Scores are kept to one decimal place, so two players almost never finish level.
If two players have the same score, whoever reached it first is ahead. The clock is the tie-break, and there is no play-off. The leaderboard shows the time each best score was set, and no two players ever share a position.
The prizes
| Position | Prize |
|---|---|
| 1st | One EV Tej TSL scooter (the Single Light), free — the 60–70 km variant, with the 60V 30Ah battery |
| 2nd to 50th | ₹5,000 off a scooter |
| Everyone who plays | ₹1,000 off a scooter, and one free accessory |
Positions are taken from the Andhra Pradesh and Telangana leaderboard as it stands when the campaign closes.
The ₹1,000 voucher is issued the moment you finish your first game — you do not have to wait for the campaign to end, and you do not have to place anywhere. Every other prize is issued after the campaign closes.
One prize per person. A voucher is issued to your account and can be used once.
One voucher per scooter. If you hold more than one — the ₹1,000 every player gets and a prize, say — the higher one applies. They do not add together.
When a voucher expires
Every campaign voucher expires on the same day, whichever day you played. That date is shown on your account page, on the voucher page, and on the screen when you run out of games. It is set to one month after the campaign closes unless we publish a different date.
Fair play
Every game is replayed and scored on our servers from the record of what you did. The score your device shows is not the score that counts; ours is. Every game counts as soon as it is scored. No game is held back for review, and a high score is never held.
We will disqualify automated play, duplicate accounts, and accounts created to game the leaderboard.
Winning
We will contact you on the mobile number on your account, by WhatsApp or by telephone, within seven days of the campaign closing. You then have thirty days to claim. The first prize is handed over at our showroom on Vijayadashami, Tuesday 20 October 2026, or on a later day within those thirty days if the winner cannot come then.
To claim the scooter, come to the showroom in Moula Ali with photo identification matching the name on your account. A discount voucher does not need to be claimed — it is already on your account and is applied when you buy.
If we cannot reach you, or nobody claims within thirty days, the prize passes to the next eligible position.
The scooter is one EV Tej vehicle of the model and variant we specify. There is no cash alternative and the prize is not transferable. Registration, insurance and accessories are not included where they apply.
Tax
Any tax due on a prize is the winner's responsibility. We will give you whatever documentation your accountant needs.
Changes
If we have to change these rules or end the campaign early, we will say so on this page and on the game screen. Anything already won stays won.
