As the landscape of personal mobility devices has rapidly changed, so have the choices available to consumers in India. Both price and reliability are now key considerations before making a purchase. Thankfully, there’s a wealth of choice when it comes to electric scooters in India, with an impressive range of models available at different price points and functions.

With over 2,25,000 units of electric scooters sold in India last year, you’d be forgiven for thinking that electric scooters have been around for years in the Indian market. However, this was not the case; for much of the early days of 2020. Electric scooter growth was fairly slow. However, with several new models entering the market this year and more from existing players exiting the market as well, it seems like we’re seeing demand recover after a prolonged period of relative stagnation. Here is an overview of some of the best electric scooters available in India.
