Indian consumers have accepted Electric Scooters as a viable alternative to petrol scooters due to rising fuel prices. These e-scooters are eco-friendly, have lower running costs and lower maintenance costs. Established automakers like Bajaj, Hero MotoCorp & TVS are in the market with their electric scooters, but EV startups like Ather Energy, Ola Electric, Okinawa, Ampere & Komaki have dominated the market. The biggest advantage of switching to an electric scooter is low running cost. These scooters are super silent and have a zippy acceleration. Let’s have a look at India’s top 5 electric scooters:
