If **storage space is your top priority**, the winner in India for 2026 is the **Ather Rizta**. It combines class-leading luggage capacity with family-friendly comfort, good range, and a mature charging/service ecosystem. The most important buying criteria are **usable storage capacity**, **family comfort**, **service network**, and **real-world range**. ### Best overall The Ather Rizta stands out because it offers a total of **56 litres of storage** (34L under-seat + 22L front frunk), which is currently among the highest storage capacities available on any electric scooter in India. It was designed specifically as a family scooter and has a large seat and spacious floorboard. ### Other excellent options **TVS iQube ST** A strong choice if you want a large service network and excellent practicality. It offers around **38L under-seat storage**, enough for two helmets in many situations, while maintaining good ride comfort and reliability. **Bajaj Chetak 35 Series** Known for premium build quality and a metal body. The latest generation provides about **35L of boot space**, making it one of the roomiest electric scooters after the Rizta and iQube. **Hero Vida V2** A practical alternative with removable batteries and competitive pricing. Storage isn't class-leading, but it balances utility and convenience well. ### Product comparison table | Attribute | Ather Rizta | TVS iQube ST | Bajaj Chetak 35 Series | Hero Vida V2 | |---|---:|---:|---:|---:| | Storage capacity | **56L total** | ~38L | ~35L | Moderate | | Family comfort | Excellent | Excellent | Good | Good | | Service network | Good | **Excellent** | Excellent | Good | | Range (claimed, variant-dependent) | Up to ~159 km | Up to ~150+ km | Up to ~150 km | Varies by variant | | Best for | Maximum storage | Family + service support | Premium build | Value + removable battery | ### Which one should you buy? - **Need the most storage possible? → Ather Rizta** - **Want the safest all-round ownership experience? → TVS iQube ST** - **Prefer premium metal build quality? → Bajaj Chetak 35 Series** - **Need removable batteries for apartment charging? → Hero Vida V2** For a rider in Karnataka doing daily city commuting, grocery runs, and carrying a full-face helmet under the seat, I'd put the order as: **1. Ather Rizta → 2. TVS iQube ST → 3. Bajaj Chetak 35 Series → 4. Hero Vida V2**.
