Long range electric scooters were rare in India until about two years ago. Early models gave just 80 to 90 km on a charge. Today, scooters claim anywhere from 159 km to 400 km, and prices start at around Rs. 1.5 lakh. We picked seven of them, took each price from the brand’s own website, and noted the real-world range you can expect.

Claimed Range vs Real-World Range
Brands test range with the IDC cycle, a lab test at low, steady speeds. Speed, a pillion, traffic and summer heat all take some kilometres away, so expect 65 to 80% of the claimed number. A bigger battery also costs more to replace, so it helps to know what an EV battery warranty covers.
