The landscape of urban mobility is evolving right before our eyes. Where we once saw rounded, bulky scooters waiting to be kickstarted and leave behind a trail of smoke, we are now seeing sleek, stylish electric scooters zipping past us without a noise or fume.

If you too are eager to hop on this electric scooter bandwagon, then you are at the right place. In this article, we will break down the key features you must consider to choose the best electric scooter for your lifestyle.

1. Range

Range is among the first electric scooter features you should consider. It is the distance your e-scooter can travel on a single charge. If you’re planning to use the scooter for everyday commutes or long-distance travel, choose a model that offers sufficient range for the entire ride without any charging halts. For instance, our Lectrix LXS 3.0 cruises for 120 km on a single charge, so you never have to worry about range anxiety again.

2. Speed

If you’re someone who’s always running low on time, then speed is your greatest friend. Look for electric scooters that offer an average speed of 50-60 km/h so you can make your urban trips faster and sweeter. On the other hand, if you’re looking to avoid the hassles of registration or a driver’s license, go for models with speeds below 25 km/h like our SXS 25- ideal for neighbourhood rides.

3. Durability

No matter which part of India you live in, rough patches, potholes and waterlogging are pervasive everywhere. That’s why you need an electric scooter that’s durable enough to handle Indian road conditions. The best electric scooter should have high ground clearance, broader tyres, telescopic suspension and an IP rating like our LXS 2.0, which is built for all roads and weathers.

4. Smart & Safety Features

The best part about buying an electric scooter is you get to unlock advanced safety and hi-tech features. The best EV scooters like our LXS G2.0 are packed with features like app connectivity, navigation assistance, anti-theft systems, geo-fencing, keyless ignition and battery health monitoring. These features not only enhance your riding experience but also ensure that you and your ride are safe at all times.

5. Cost

A scooter that complements your lifestyle should also fit your budget. Start by evaluating EV scooter prices in India and shortlist the ones that align with your budget. At the same time, make sure it offers the best value without compromising on essential features. You can also look into battery subscription models that are available at nearly half the price and come with benefits like free battery repairs and replacement, lifetime battery warranty etc.

For instance, you can buy our LXS 2.0 for just Rs. 49,999 along with a monthly battery subscription, which gives you access to a range of benefits such as free battery repairs and replacement and a lifetime battery warranty.
