Conclusion

With the rapidly growing electric scooter market in India, we can expect more advanced e-scooter designs to make waves in the future. Consider factors such as budget, range, top speed and features to determine the best choice according to your requirements.

However, no matter which electric scooter you opt for, you must maintain and safeguard it for longevity. After all, daily usage will increase its wear and tear, requiring you to be extra conscious about maintenance. In that regard, it is a good idea to invest in comprehensive two wheeler insurance that covers you financially against damage and repair costs caused by accidents, along with protection in case of theft and third-party liability.
