Ather Rizta or iqube? Which one to buy ?

•14w

Hi there. I am planning to buy an electric scooter for my daily commute of around 30 km. I have test-ridden the TVS iQube, Bajaj Chetak 3502 and Ather Rizta. I found the Chetak to be quieter and smoother, while the Rizta makes a sound similar to an e-rickshaw. I also wasn't impressed with the braking performance of the TVS iQube, so I've ruled it out. Which scooter would be the better choice in terms of after-sales service, reliability and cost per kilometre?

I have a 2009 Hero Honda Xtreme that has seen very little use. I am now planning to scrap it and buy something new. I am considering an EV, specifically either the Ather Rizta or the TVS iQube. Which one would you suggest? My daily travel would be around 20-25km. Even if I buy the 2.2kWh version, the range will reduce after a few years due to battery ageing. My main concern is battery longevity and warranty.

I am planning to buy either the TVS iQube ST 5.3kWh or the Ather Rizta. I want a scooter that is reliable and durable in the long term, without battery-related issues. I have already owned a Honda Activa for many years, so I am expecting a similar level of reliability from an EV scooter as well. My daily commute is around 30km on the highway.
