I want to purchase an electric scooter. My daily running is around 80 km and sometimes more. I already purchased an OLA electric scooter 2 years back, but I’m not satisfied due to poor performance and several issues - the vehicle stopped working and had repeated MCU and other problems. Kindly suggest the best electric scooter for my daily use, with an average running of around 80 km.

Since your daily running is quite high, you will need to get an electric scooter with a 3.5kWh battery pack or more. For your needs, we'd advise you to pick between the Bajaj Chetak 35 models, TVS iQube 3.5kWh variants and Ather Rizta 3.7 duo. All three are proven models and come from reputed companies with a decent reputation for aftersales so you should, by and large, not have a similar experience as you did with your previous Ola Electric scooter. Picking between the three will boil down to which one you find the most manageable and which company has a sales and service touchpoint near you. Take a test ride of all three to make a more informed decision.

You can consider the Maruti Suzuki Dzire. It is a spacious and practical compact sedan that is available with a 1.2-litre petrol engine paired to a 5-speed AMT automatic gearbox. The Dzire AMT is also a fuel-efficient car, with a claimed mileage of 25.71kpl, and it has received a 5-star crash safety rating from Bharat NCAP. Maruti Suzuki Dzire price for the AMT range starts from Rs 7.62 lakh to Rs 9.31 lakh (ex-showroom, India).

Given your requirements, you should consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza. The Brezza has a comfortable and spacious cabin that can easily accommodate four adults. It also comes with a refined 103hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine paired to a smooth 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. Maruti claims the Brezza automatic will do 19.8kpl. The Brezza is also relatively easy to drive, and being a Maruti product, it will also be stress-free to maintain. Maruti Brezza price for petrol-auto range starts from Rs 10.60 lakh to Rs 12.86 lakh (ex-showroom, India).
