Its just few, In my opinion Ather is far better product than their competitor.

- Which city you are in, Tier 1 or Tier
- How's the electricity situation.
- Is the showroom around where you can go and come back within 1 charge?
- Is it your home, flat or rented?
- And what's the situation with the charger connection to home?
- Suppose life of EV is 5years [Just assume, i don't have much data on this]. Will you be able to spend less than a petrol varient?

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.

buy ola s1 pro. best scooter currently.
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/electric-scooty-is-good?page=1#post_8843063
Ola s1 pro. Far better than any ev scooter/bike. Own it from January. Unmatched from it's rivals

- 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.

Go green with electric vehicles is a marketing gimmick imho.. The lead acid batteries they use cause much MORE HARM to environment than smoke released from fuel vehicles.

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
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/electric-scooty-is-good?page=1#post_8847105
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
https://www.desidime.com/discussions/electric-scooty-is-good?page=1#post_8847664
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.

Are you already a scooterette user presently?
How do you rate 'ride comfort', 'handling' in the list of priorities?
What are YOUR motivations to do so?
(Parents, spouse , sibling asked me to. | My colleague has it, so I too should. | I feel economically more viable in the long run. | I like to be an 'early adopter' when it comes to such technology or gadgets.. and I am already late. | just for fun sakes, nothing in specific. | any other motivation).
How frequently you change vehicles or other major investments?
(for example: For how long did you use your first gear/gearless motorbike. If that was not entirely funded by you, then how long did you use/keep/ plan to use the most recent vehicle you purchased on your own.. if you did purchase?)

Don't even think of buying electric now if ur usage is less....Save money, it's ur hard earned money.

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.

Secondly, price difference between petrol bike and EV bike now....Use it to buy petrol for next few years.
EV Battery will generally have good life for about 5-6 years. Average, speed will go down gradually after first year of use.
30-40k battery price currently, not sure whether u will get the battery for current model after 5 years?

Okay, thanks for those views.
I am not the OP, nor looking forward to being part of any such decision-making process.
Just came across the discussion and thought to seek clarity on your strong opinion.

To add to above, there's nothing green revolution in this....U r charging EV bike on electricity which is majorly generated on COAL in India !
