Why The Future Of Two-wheelers Is Electric
With the ever tightening emission norms thanks to concerns of environmental pollution, and the ever increasing prices of petrol, it makes all the more sense to go electric. There are also several other reasons for going green, and here are some of the key ones:
Government Subsidies Make EVs More Affordable
The government has been pushing actively for electric two-wheelers with lucrative FAME 2 (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles), as well as state subsidies. This has resulted in the proliferation of several electric bike brands in India, offering quality, competent products at fairly affordable prices thanks to the subsidies. This has also reduced the price gap between electric and petrol-powered two-wheelers year after year.
Rapidly Growing Charging Ecosystems
One of the biggest stumbling blocks of adopting EVs is range anxiety. Several manufacturers are working actively on establishing fast charging or battery swapping ecosystems, which will go a long way in mitigating range anxiety.
Silent Fun
Electric two-wheelers are high on refinement and have almost no noise. So if a hassle-free, calming riding experience is something you’re looking for, then going green makes a lot of sense.
Less Moving Parts, More Convenient To Maintain
Electric two-wheelers have inherently far less moving parts when compared to the petrol powered ones, so most of the general servicing is restricted to lubrication and/or changing the tyres or brake pads. The service intervals are also far more stretched out, ensuring a worry-free ownership experience.
Rich In Tech
Most of the electric bikes and scooters are loaded to the brim with useful, connected technology. Comparatively, some of the features are generally found only on much more expensive petrol-powered two-wheelers.

How To Maintain Your Electric Bike/scooter's Battery
Minimise Exposure To Extreme Environment
Do not park your electric two-wheeler under the hot sun or in extreme cold for extended durations. Even though the batteries have inbuilt protection, avoiding exposure to such extreme environments will go a long way in preserving the battery’s lifespan.
Keep an eye on your charging habits
Do not charge your battery to 100 percent regularly, or don’t even let it drain to below 20 percent. Doing so puts more stress on the battery’s electrodes, which in turn result in the shortening of its lifespan. Keep the charge between 50-85 percent so that the charge-discharge cycle count is preserved.
Use slow charging whenever possible
Even though batteries have fast-charging tech with adequate cooling mechanisms, using conventional charging systems puts far less load on the batteries as the amount of current sent is lesser. Plan out your timings, and use conventional (slow) charging as much as possible so that it can preserve the overall battery life.
Avoid long periods of non-use
Leaving your electric two-wheeler parked for several days will have a detrimental effect on the battery as it causes trickle discharge as there are several systems running in the background even when the electric bike/ scooter is switched off. Some electric 2-wheelers have a full shutdown mode which prevents deep discharge and should be used if you’re going to be leaving your electric bike/scooter parked for long periods of time.

Pros and Cons of Electric Bikes
As it turns out, people love us. Here is what some of our customers have to say.
Pros
Low running costs
Running on electricity is much cheaper than running on petrol.
No air pollution
EVs don’t generate any exhaust gases, making them great for the environment.
Noiseless riding
EVs make barely any noise when riding. Much quieter commutes compared to petrol vehicles.
Low maintenance costs
EVs have much fewer moving parts compared to petrol-powered vehicles, and require very little maintenance.
No/Low Road Tax
A lot of states in the country either have no road tax or heavily discounted road tax when registering EVs.
Cons
High purchase costs
EV 2-wheelers, especially the good ones, are still quite expensive to buy, even with central and state subsidies, compared to petrol-powered 2-wheelers.
Low range
Even the best EV scooters will give you a realistic, usable range of 120km on a single charge. Most petrol-powered scooters will go farther on a full tank of petrol.
Slow charging times
On average, EV scooters will take 5-6 hours to full-charge their batteries using a home charger.
Performance isn't great
Most, but not all, EV 2-wheelers will fall behind their petrol-powered counterparts when it comes to outright performance & top speeds.
Lack of charging infrastructure
Although some companies are installing fast charging networks, their availability is still severely limited.
Not too many choices
Unlike petrol-powered 2-wheelers, you have fewer options when choosing an electric 2-wheeler, for now at least.
User Reviews of Electric Bikes
- Hamara bajaj is now hamara chetakevI had purchased it when ev was new in market, I am very much satisfied. I had drove it for more than 50000 kms with no expense. I had to change only tyres and regular service only one auxiliary battery of Rs. 800 had been changed. I am quiet impressed me and my son both have purchased but there is very less front space between handle and seat to carry extra luggage vegetables or ration need to improve in this area good service staff in patni and Nagpur. I will recommend everyone to go for this ev only. Positive, Very good for local commute, I had recovered all the money spend for purchase, me and my son had not spend a single penny for petrol, very pleasant ride for city and highway also but with limitation of distance. mid age person college boys with huge space in seat box for helmet and laptop girls working women also it's value for money, I had already 2 chetak with me and both vehicle had been run for 50000 and 23000 kms planning to purchase one more for my wife.Read More
- My opinionIt has clean finishing good looking, thin having, good mileage, having better features than any other petrol scooter, it is electric vehicle it is sports scooter so it has modes too fast charging service centre is available. I had done something around 12000 km driven this scooter for long ride it isn't good it is slightly uncomfortable it could give you back pain and scooter may could get heat if you are riding in the summer weather. This scooter isn't for long ride but if you want this for going to college, school or for work it's good vehicle. This scooter looks attractive and has good enough speed to reach the destination. Its good scooter you can go for it if you want.Read More

- Go for it , It's a good bikeGood pickup, stylish design as the colour combination looks futuristic. TVS is a big brand, so service is very good and easy to find. Built quality is also one of the good reason to pickup this bike. It gives great experience. The range is a big concern while going to college. Except that, everything is very good like the pickup while overtaking vehicles, durability during pot-holes and a suspension works good. Yes, If you are looking for good service, take a look of this, may be the price and range doesn't match but the service and experience is very good. So I recommend this bike for short range travellers who don't want ot take risk.Read More

Frequently Asked Questions On Electric Bikes
Q) What is an electric bike?
A) An electric bike or an electric scooter is a two-wheeler that moves by using electricity as the energy source as opposed to petrol fuel. As a result, it runs clean with no emissions.
Q) How do two-wheeler electric vehicles operate?
A) Electric two-wheelers are powered by battery packs (usually Lithium-ion) that store and release electrical energy. This is connected to an electric motor, which is fed electric energy from the battery pack and converts it into rotational motion. The motor is linked to the wheels, which in turn help the vehicle move.
Q) What are India's RTO Rules and Regulations for Electric Two Wheelers?
A) Electric two-wheelers are largely categorised into two: Low Speed and High Speed. Vehicles under the former category should have a top speed of 25kmph or lower. They do not require insurance or registration documents. On the other hand, the High Speed electric two-wheelers require a licence to ride, and the EVs will also have to be registered, along with other appropriate RTO paperwork. The Hero Electric Eddy is a good example of a low-speed electric scooter, whereas the TVS iQube comes under the high-speed category.
Q) Do electric bikes weigh a lot?
A) No, electric bikes and scooters are usually on par with their petrol-powered counterparts when it comes to the kerb weight. The heaviest component in EVs is the battery pack.
Q) How long do the batteries in electric bikes and scooters last?
A) Batteries in electric two-wheelers last depending on their capacity, charge cycle count, age and charging patterns. A battery’s rated capacity goes down gradually when it reaches beyond its claimed charge-discharge cycle count. Generally, small electric two-wheeler batteries should last about five to six years without a considerable drop in range.
