Hi AAA, I am from Kerala and currently own a 2023 Hero Xoom 110, which my wife rides to work every day. Her daily commute is around 50 km, and with other local trips, the total daily running comes to about 55 km. Considering the daily running cost and maintenance, should I switch to an electric scooter? I am considering the Ather 450 (not sure which variant) and the River Indie. Which one would you recommend? I am looking for a hassle-free ownership experience as well.
