Hi Autocar, I am looking for an electric scooter, and my budget is around ₹1.5 lakh. I have taken test rides of the Vida VX2 Plus, Ather 450 X, Rizta, and River Indie. I like the 450X, but it is out of my budget. My priorities are good performance and decent range. Please help me choose an EV scooter.

Since you said you like the Ather 450 X but it's out of your budget, we'd recommend taking a look at the 450S. It loses out on some techy features and the more exciting Warp mode you'll get on the 450X, but the rest of the chassis remains the same. You also have the same 90kph top speed on both, and its Sport mode is pretty engaging too.However, for daily usage, we've found the Ather 450 models to be a tad sporty and cramped, so unless performance outweighs practicality for you, we'd steer you toward more practical options like the Rizta, Bajaj Chetak 35 models and the TVS iQube range. Since you've also ridden the River Indie, that could be a great option if practicality is your paramount requirement.You need to decide what matters the most to you, performance or practicality and comfort, and take a call accordingly.
