Ather is best as of now.
But before buying an EV you have to consider many different factors.

If you have less usage, Go for the Petrol Scooter.
Any electric scooter with less than 8 years of battery warranty is a big no in my opinion. Battery replacement will cost around 25K at least. So calculate accordingly.
Also, Keep all the points by @B3A5T in consideration.

- if any issues happen like roadside breakdown, can it be repaired by local mechanic?
- Tier 1 / Tier 2 city
If you can sort these issues then you can safely take an Ather/ OLA S1 scooter.

Bro all EVs use Lithium-ion or LiPolimer batteries. there is no Lead Acid battery in EV as they are very heavy.

As far as my opinion I think electric scooters are good for those people who have a lot of work in market like delivery boys, marketing people etc only they can recover otherwise battery will loose their capacity over the period of time even if you don't use so better take a petrol scooter unless you use for 50+km

Take battery replacement cost into account. Ola only gives 3 year warranty. You will save nothing if battery sucks after 3 year.
If you have heavy usages then go for it .

Is it worth to take the ola s1 right now? Looking to choose between a petrol or electric two wheeler. Open to other choices as well

Planning to buy ola s1. Ex showroom price in tamilnadu is 1L. Heard gujarat giving 25k subsidy extra. Anyone have any idea about it?
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/electric-scooty-is-good?page=1#post_8859717
I have Ola S1 and am very happy with it, good thing I didn't buy the pro version as the 90 to 100 km range is good enough for me, I have to charge twice a week.
The Gujarat government paid a 20k subsidy after this subsidy my final price was 98K, I paid 118K originally to Ola (after fame 2 central gov subsidy)
We really enjoy driving it with music on and overtaking past everyone on every signal, folks in expensive cars stop and ask us questions about our Ola s1 like is music system built in, how much range it gives and so on. I have light blue color.
The only negative I have is that the seat height is a bit too much for my wife so make sure to test drive for all members of the family that will be using it.
My recommendation is to go for the Ola S1 if your daily run is about 40-50 km, you will have enough spare range for emergencies. If your daily run is more than that then go for S1 pro.

Don't even think of buying electric now if ur usage is less....Save money, it's ur hard earned money.
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/electric-scooty-is-good?page=1#post_8860227
Is the battery replacement cost that high or that frequent?
Assuming other maintenance charges are average.
Have seen users of generic/assembled scooterettes too being reasonably satisfied... despite average or below average regular use.
