They’re all very functional and priced decently well. 

  • The Ather 450X takes the cake if you want a sporty and fun electric scooter.
  • The TVS iQube, meanwhile, is for the ones wanting a family-friendly, relaxed scooter.
  • Ola’s S1 series, unfortunately, has had its fair share of issues over the years.

In India, electric mobility has advanced significantly from low-performance scooters with limited range. Modern electric scooters are loaded with technology that is not even found in two-wheelers that are ten times more expensive. 

Additionally, they now provide performance that is on par with or better than 110cc scooters, as well as a range that is suitable for daily use. Therefore, your next purchase might want to be an electric scooter. Here are the electric scooters that we think are best in India.

  1. Ather 450X
  2. TVS iQube ST
  3. Hero Vida V1
  4. Okinawa PraisePro
  5. Ampere Primus

1- Ather 450X

The third generation iteration of Ather Energy's premier electric scooter, known as the Ather Energy 450x Gen 3, was released in July 2022. The scooter has a more potent electric motor that can provide the equivalent of 8.7 horsepower of power and has a 146 km riding range that has been verified by ARAI. 

Not only that, but an all-aluminum frame has improved the construction of Ather's scooter body, which was previously well-engineered. Additionally, it receives a new tyre tread profile and tyre pressure monitoring system accessories. Even its digital dashboard has received an upgrade with extra RAM to improve performance. 

In all likelihood, the Ather 450x Gen 3 is the greatest electric scooter available in India. This is one of the most high-end electric scooters now on Indian roads in terms of riding quality, build, and overall experience.

2- TVS iQube ST

The TVS iQube ST electric scooter sticks out for having a more traditional appearance, but that has advantages of its own. For starters, the iQube ST features one of the largest boot compartments, allowing you to fit two full-sized helmets to protect both you and your travelling companion. That's not all, though. 

The scooter has a maximum riding range of 110 km in performance mode and 145 km in economy mode. The scooter is one of the best-performing electric scooters on the market because it can reach a respectable riding speed of 82 kmph when used in the latter. Additionally, you receive a 7-inch touchscreen with social media notifications, Bluetooth music playing, and integration with Amazon Alexa voice assistant.
