Ather Rizta S
8.1/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
The Ather Rizta S moves away from Ather’s intentional design attribution of a sporty electric scooter to a much more utilitarian silhouette. It delivers good torque without causing sudden wheel spins or jerky movement – it is predictable. It's perfect for riders who need different ride modes for adaptability. With 12-inch wheels, the scooter is designed for easy commutes, and the high ground clearance is a bonus on Indian roads. It also comes with a solid add-on warranty for peace of mind.
Ola S1X+ (Gen 3)
7/10 SEV score
Expert Verdict
Ola S1X+ carries similar design as the S1 Pro, S1 Air but offers better value in terms of range and riding without compromising on performance. It has a true range of 160+ km which is great for riders who seek a basic scooter with really good range.
Based on SEV score and how each EV scores on price, range, battery, charging time, speed, power and boot space.
