How is the Ampere Nexus compared to the Ather Rizta and the Chetak EV. I am drawn towards the Ampere for its LFP battery. At the same time I am drawn towards the Chetak for its metal body. The Ather Rizta is known for its 8year battery warranty. Am totally confused. Please help. Thanks in advance.

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?

After-sales and servicing depend on a multitude of factors, and you should choose between the Rizta and Chetak based on which dealer and service centre feels like the safer bet to you. Cost per kilometre will also vary largely based on how much you ride every day and how fast you do so (because range will vary as per the riding mode you're in), so it's hard to accurately gauge this. Both the Rizta and Chetak are proven products and are pretty evenly matched, except in terms of price, where the Rizta is quite a bit more expensive. So, pick whichever one you like more.
