Saar do you have access to easy charging? If so and use case is in town runabout, then electric is the way to go. Check Ather, TVS iQube while you are at it.
I am still waiting for a good removable battery vehicle so that it can be charged easily at home by senior citizens.

Go with S1, Electric scooter is better than conventional ones, cheaper per km, no pollution certifications, maintence is very less and it is easier to charge during the night, I feel electric is better than petrol/diesel bikes.

I’m also a user of an electrik bike, great experience so far.

How about the Simple one electric scooty?? People are saying its a scam as they changed their specs to match S1s.

Around 1L.
Our Streak is showing its age and maa told to look for a new scooty.
I feel its about 2-3 years too early for an electric vehicle. I haven't seen a single charging station in Bengaluru although I have seen a lot of electric vehicles. Heck even a guy 2 blocks away has the hero electric scooty lol.
Don't give a crap about top speed but has to have sufficient range.

I don’t think a guy would charge his scooty at an electric station, I charge it at my home but have to carry that 20kg battery to home. Charging it for a night and it’s good to go. Better and convenient than filling petrol.

Thats why the limited adoption is by the ones who own electric 2 wheelers coz you can take batteries home and charge it, but a car battery will obviously be far more heavier hence it needs electric charging stations.

Ya'll Nibbiars having electric scooters is becoming head ache for some peoples in the Urban Areas.

Looks like Ola scooters are going to have a rough start.

Ola S1 Pro review - Does the Ola electric scooter live up to the hype? | First Ride | Autocar India

Looks nice but if they are targeting the entire country, then they better do something about the battery issues. It would be a hard sell to people in our mountain states, especially since we have a lot of uphill climb requiring raw power. Also, our winters are far more punishing than Bengaluru's year-round perfect weather, meaning Li-Ion batteries will drain off faster (hint: we get a lot of snowfall).

Maruti beats that! More than 2.05 lakh cars sold to 100 countries in 2021, a record! This in spite of the semiconductor shortage. And over 2 million Maruti cars exported since 1986!!

Not the Roadking. It might come in the future.

Frankly disappointed in the new launches, except the Scrambler.

The Adventure is like a carbon copy of the Himalayan.

Scrambler!

The scrambler produces 29.1PS at 8000rpm of peak power & peak torque of 28.2Nm at 6750rpm. It comes with three switchable modes – Road, Rain & Off-road.

The Roadster is pretty solid looking too!
