The electric scooter market in India has seen massive growth, with traditional two-wheeler giants and EV-focused startups battling for the top spots. Based on the latest sales data and market popularity, here are the most popular electric scooters in India: ### The Top Best-Sellers (By Sales Volume) \* \*\*TVS iQube Series\*\* The TVS iQube has emerged as one of the most trusted and highest-selling electric scooters in the country, experiencing massive year-on-year growth. Backed by TVS's extensive service network, it is highly favored by family buyers for its practicality and everyday reliability. \* \* \*\*Range:\*\* 94 km to 212 km (depending on the variant, like the base vs. the high-end ST). \* \*\*Starting Price:\*\* \~₹1.14 Lakh (On-road) \* \*\*Bajaj Chetak\*\* Bringing back the iconic legacy nameplate, the Chetak has successfully captured a massive chunk of the market. Its standout feature is its premium all-metal monocoque body, making it one of the most robust and durable choices available. \* \* \*\*Range:\*\* 113 km to 153 km \* \*\*Starting Price:\*\* \~₹1.19 Lakh (On-road) --- ### The Tech & Performance Favorites \* \*\*Ola S1 Series (Pro / X)\*\* Ola remains a dominant force for tech-savvy riders looking for raw performance. The \*\*Ola S1 Pro\*\* stands as the benchmark for speed and features, packing a massive tech suite (touchscreen, cruise control, MoveOS navigation), while the \*\*Ola S1 X\*\* caters to budget-conscious commuters looking for high range. \* \* \*\*Range:\*\* Up to 242 km (S1 Pro) / 320 km (S1 X high-capacity variants) \* \*\*Top Speed:\*\* Up to 125 km/h (S1 Pro) \* \*\*Ather 450X & Ather Rizta\*\* Ather Energy holds a strong reputation for offering the sharpest riding dynamics and most refined software in the premium EV space. \* \* The \*\*Ather 450X\*\* (and the ultra-premium \*\*450 Apex\*\*) remains the top pick for performance enthusiasts who want aggressive acceleration and tech. \* The newer \*\*Ather Rizta\*\* has quickly become incredibly popular as a dedicated family scooter, boasting a massive seat and class-leading under-seat storage space. --- ### Key Trend Highlights > \*\*The Shift to Big Brands:\*\* While EV startups kickstarted the revolution, traditional manufacturers like \*\*TVS\*\* and \*\*Bajaj\*\* have caught up dramatically, dominating monthly retail charts due to consumer trust and build quality. Meanwhile, legacy brand \*\*Honda\*\* has entered the ring with the \*\*Activa e\*\*, which is quickly climbing in popularity due to the immense trust in the "Activa" nameplate.
