Hi Autocar Team, I'm planning to buy an electric scooter. My daily commute is around 50 km, and I often do 100+ km rides on weekends, including some highway usage. My shortlisted options include TVS iQube ST, Yamaha EC-06, and River Indie. Which would be the best choice considering real-world range, reliability, comfort, and long-term ownership?
