If you are looking to buy a scooter
  • Don’t give your money to companies that only manufacture petrol scooters and even in 2019 don't have even a single electric option. Stay away from such companies.
  • Go electric and make a statement to
    BIG ICE and BIG OIL!
  • Move to an electric - If you are a college student, a housewife, a working professional, a business owner.
  • Support the Indian EV ecosystem!
Watch our podcast on how Auto Industry is stifling the growth of the EV sector.
Ownership Calculation Notes
  • We don't mention manufacturer specified range. We get real world range from real owners or from genuine dealers or from our own testing and mention it in this page.
  • ₹ 80 per litre & 50 kmpl mileage is considered for petrol scooter and ₹ 6 per unit of electricity.
  • The amounts mentioned in 'Maintainance & Servicing' and 'Repairs/Replacements', are indicative based on our experience with EV users over 5+ years. The amounts will be different for every case.
  • Electric Scooters have electronics parts like Onboard Charger, Controllers and others which may be expensive to replace if something goes wrong outside warranty period.
    ​Thus an estimated figure is placed in the 'Repairs/Replacements' section.
  • Most EV owners don't face issues of part replacements as usually these electronic parts are reliable, in such cases there are additional savings.

NOTES
  • We only mention true real world range, given to us by real owners, instead of specifying the claimed range of manufacturers.
  • Electric Scooters that have FAME 2 approval have in-depth information in this page. This includes e-Scooters sold in Indian roads.
    • In depth information includes Enhanced Information, Interactive Charging Cost Sliders, Sliders for Ownership Costs comparing Petrol Scooters, 
      PluginIndia Videos and Links
  • Lithium Ion scooters which are low speed models (25 kmph) will be listed in minified form. We believe it is high time we move to higher powered scooters ​to take on petrol scooters and beat them. But then there is a large percentage of market happy with low speed electric scooters and we should encourage them to go electric.
  • Lead Acid based scooters wont be listed in this page, as we believe we need to move on from an outdated chemistry for electric mobility.
  • Many e-Scooter companies are working hard to get FAME 2 certification, which demands a minimum top speed of 40 kmph, 60 km range and lithium ion batteries.
    Once models are FAME 2 approved, they will be added here in this page. ​Read more about FAME 2 scheme.
