I want to buy an electric scooter for nearly 30 km of daily travel. My budget is around Rs. 1.45 lakh. I am confused between Vida VX2 Plus and Chetak 3503. I also looked for Ather Rizta S Base which has low range but it is out of my budget. For TVS IQube, I looked for 3.5kwh base model that was around Rs. 1.49 lakh but I have heard of some issues with it during rainy days and it does not support fast charging. Vida VX2 Plus is the cheapest of all but I have heard about its AUX issues, build quality of switches, app glitches. For Chetak, I have heard of its battery issues and that, it does not support fast charging for 3503. Please suggest which EV would be suitable for daily city use in this budget. My priorities are good reliability, low maintenance and good range.

In the electric scooter segment, the TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak models are hard to go wrong with, and no matter which one you choose, you're likely to end up with a safe purchase which will safely last you many years. Coming to issues with using the iQube during the monsoon, you're unlikely to have any - this is a scooter that has proven its mettle over the past 6 years that it has been on sale. The base 3.5 variant of the iQube in your shortlist, has a 650W charger as standard and it should be sufficiently quick for most daily needs. Its a similar story with the Bajaj Chetak. Any unfortunate battery issues you face will be covered under warranty and even so, these instances are few and far between, not widespread occurrences. The Chetak 3503 also has pretty quick charging times, with the Bajaj website stating a 3hr25min duration for a 0-80 percent top-up, which should be more than enough for your daily needs. Hero's Vida VX2 has come onto the scene relatively later but judging by the fact that these have started to become a fairly commonplace sighting on our roads, the market seems to have given it a good response. We'd recommend a visit to each scooter's authorized dealership and take thorough test rides to ensure you cover every aspect before you make your decision.
