In recent years, a new player has taken the auto market by storm: the EV scooter. These noiseless, emission-less two-wheelers have been making rounds, figuratively and literally, because of their smart features, savings and sustainability. But as with any technological innovation, electric scooters too have been at the forefront of myths and misinformation.

If you have been hesitant to upgrade to an electric scooter due to these misconceptions, then you’re at the right place. In this blog, we are debunking some of the most common myths surrounding e-scooters to increase awareness about them. So, let’s clear the air about electric scooters once and for all.

Myth #1: Electric scooters are expensive compared to ICE counterparts

While electric scooters demand a higher upfront cost compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) scooters, they prove to be much more economical in the long run. Since they run on electricity and have fewer moving parts, their running costs are considerably lower and make up for the high EV scooter price. Plus, with Lectrix battery subscription, you can reduce your initial costs as well as operating costs by almost 50%.

Myth #2: Electric scooters have inadequate range

Many people believe that electric scooters have insufficient range, especially for daily commuting or long-distance travel. In truth, the range of an average EV scooter in India is 80-90 km per charge, which is more than enough for the typical daily mileage of an Indian driver. To eliminate this range anxiety, we have engineered our Lectrix 3.0 with a range of 120 km on a single charge so you don’t have to worry about running out of juice.

Myth #3: Electric scooters take too long to charge

Another common myth surrounding electric scooters is that they need to be plugged in for a long time. However, e-scooters can be charged from 0%-80% in around 1-5 hours from slow/moderate chargers. Plus, our best EV scooter comes with rapid charging technology that fully charges your scooter in less than 3.5 hours so you can be on the road in a jiffy.

Myth #4: Electric scooter batteries have a short lifespan

Many people feel discouraged from buying an EV scooter for fear of short battery life and high battery replacement costs. However, electric scooters with lithium-ion batteries are designed to offer a long service life and superior performance. Additionally, with our battery subscription services, you can get free battery replacement and a lifetime battery warranty for your electric scooter. This eliminates the financial burden of replacing the battery as well as any battery degradation concerns.

Myth #5: Electric scooters are not fast enough

Contrary to popular belief that electric scooters have low speed, these two-wheelers offer impressive acceleration and performance. Since electric scooters are powered by an electric motor, they generate instant torque and accelerate from stationary without any lag. An average EV scooter in India offers a speed of 50-60 km/h, which is sufficient for city commutes. Plus, EV scooter features such as regenerative braking, multiple riding modes and advanced suspension systems enhance not only speed but also overall ride quality.
