If you're comparing electric scooters primarily by \*\*claimed riding range\*\* in India (mid-2026), here's a snapshot of some of the leading mainstream models. | Scooter | Claimed Range\* | Battery | Best for | |---------|---------------:|---------|----------| | Ola S1 Pro | \~195 km | \~4 kWh | Long-distance commuters | | Hero Vida VX2 Plus | 187 km | 4.4 kWh | High range with larger battery | | Ather Rizta | \~160 km | \~3.7 kWh | Family use, comfort | | Ather 450X | \~150 km | \~3.7 kWh | Performance and handling | | TVS iQube ST | \~150 km | Larger battery variant | Everyday commuting | | Bajaj Chetak (latest variants) | \~150 km | Lithium-ion | Reliability and build quality | | Honda Activa e | \~100 km class | Swappable batteries | City commuting | \\\*Manufacturer/IDC or certified claimed ranges. Actual real-world range is usually \*\*20–35% lower\*\*, depending on speed, rider weight, terrain, temperature, and riding mode. ### Real-world expectations - \*\*Ola S1 Pro:\*\* \~140–170 km - \*\*Hero Vida VX2 Plus:\*\* \~135–160 km - \*\*Ather Rizta:\*\* \~120–140 km - \*\*Ather 450X:\*\* \~110–130 km - \*\*TVS iQube ST:\*\* \~110–130 km - \*\*Bajaj Chetak:\*\* \~110–130 km ### Which scooter should you choose? - \*\*Longest range:\*\* Ola S1 Pro - \*\*Balanced family scooter:\*\* Ather Rizta - \*\*Most refined ride quality:\*\* Bajaj Chetak - \*\*Sportiest handling:\*\* Ather 450X - \*\*New high-range option:\*\* Hero Vida VX2 Plus, with a 4.4 kWh battery and a claimed 187 km IDC range. If you're buying in 2026, it's also worth comparing: - charging speed - service network in your city - battery warranty - software/features - resale value Those factors often have a bigger impact on ownership than the last 20–30 km of claimed range.
