In the electric two-wheeler market, our top recommendations today are the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Ather Rizta and Vida VX2 models. These come with the peace of mind of being backed by a larger manufacturer and are products that have proven their worth over the numerous years they've been on sale. Picking between them will boil down to which product you prefer and which company's touch point (both sales and service) is near your residence. Since your daily running isn't too high, pick a variant with a battery capacity around 3kWh which should be more than sufficient. We'd recommend a test ride of all products you shortlist before you make a decision.

If you are looking for the best comfort on a petrol scooter, the TVS Jupiter 110 and Suzuki Access are the best options. The Jupiter has 12-inch wheels at both ends, which will also help round off bigger bumps more nicely. It's also got a winged preload adjuster, which will easily help you adjust preload when carrying a passenger and luggage. If you are looking for something in the EV space, then you should look at the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak, Vida VX2 Plus and Ather Rizta. These scooters have spacious riding positions, comfortable suspension setups and come from reputed manufacturers with widespread and proven service networks. Take a test ride of these scooters before you decide.

Since you are intimately familiar with the Vida ownership experience, buying the Vida VX2 Go 3.4 will likely be your safest bet. This scooter also offers more range and performance than the TVS Orbiter and Bajaj Chetak C2501 models you have shortlisted. So, objectively speaking, you should stick with the Vida e-scooter.The Orbiter's USP is that it is one of the most spacious electric scooters around, while on the other end of the spectrum, you have the petite Bajaj Chetak C2501. Unless you have an unusually tall or shorter physique, we'd recommend sticking with the Vida. The only reason you should look at the others is if you want to change things up and switch to a different brand.

In the electric scooter space, we would strongly recommend you go with products from proven brands like Bajaj, TVS, Ather and Hero (Vida). Considering you reside in an apartment and haven't specified whether or not your building complex allows you to install a charger in your parking area. We will assume you need a scooter with a removable battery to be able to recharge it at home. In that regard, the Vida VX2 and V2 models are your only options among the established OEMs. You can rest assured that repeatedly removing and re-installing Vida's battery packs will not have a drastic effect on overall battery life. Reason: the company has engineered its batteries to be recharged in that manner. What you should be concerned about is the weight of hauling the heavy battery packs from your parking area to your flat, especially considering your advanced age. If you don't have a charging facility in your parking complex or somewhere close to your residence, then we would advise sticking with your petrol scooter purely. Because in the long-term it won't be feasible to keep lugging two heavy packs up and down every time you need to recharge your scooter.

In your price range, there are 4 options which you can consider - Bajaj Chetak 3001 / 3503, TVS iQube 3.1 / 3.5, Vida VX2 Plus (3.4kWh) and the Ather Rizta S 2.9. Of these four, the Rizta, iQube and Chetak have been on sale for multiple years and have proven their reliability. The Vida is relatively newer, but it should also be a pretty reliable machine in the long run.Do take a test ride of all four to see which one suits you best. If you are a taller person, the Bajaj Chetak will be the most spacious and will fit you better. It is also worth visiting your nearest authorised dealership and finding out the service intervals for each, as EV ownership differs significantly from petrol scooters like the Suzuki Access.

Currently, the only electric scooter from a reputed brand in your budget is Hero’s Vida VX2, but only if you choose the Battery as a Subscription (BaaS) option.While the upfront cost will be in your budget, do factor in the monthly payments for your usage into your purchase.Other than that, there aren’t any EVs we would recommend, as most alternatives are untested and unregulated Chinese-origin scooters, which aren’t a safe option in the long run.
