Modern Features

Price

Both petrol and EV scooters are available in India starting from 50000 INR to up to 3,50,000 INR. Based on features like brake types, smart connectivity, wheel types, riding range, mileage etc the prices vary. So, R&D the scooters and decide a best scooter for you that fulfills your need within budget.

After Sales Reputation

Check for the brand value too while buying a scooter in India. A well established brand will have more service centers PAN India to deal with after sales issues. While new brands have limited leg spread in the market. For e.g, many OLA customers feel disappointed from the after sales service. This case is especially common in EV vehciles as the technology is new and it is expanding the reach while the brands like Hona, Bajaj, Hero, TVS and Yamaha have good presence in PAN India.

EV or petrol

With the introduction of EV in the Indian market and rising hike in the petrol prices, people are attracting towards EV scooters. EV scooters are offering a riding range of 70-200 KM on full battery charge. So, the question is which one should you prefer? It is totally dependent on your choice and requirement. Though you cannot expect a strong build quality with EV like you get in vehicles like Activa 6G, Access 125 etc. If you looking for a money saver then EV is best else petrol is a good option for durability.
