The automobile industry is shifting towards electrification across the globe, and not just four-wheelers, but two-wheelers are also headed from internal combustion engines to battery packs and electric motors.
That said, a range of fully electric two-wheelers are now available in the Indian market, and many more are expected to join the list soon.
But if you were planning to buy a new electric scooter, this list of the top 5 electric scooters available in the Indian market as of February 2021 will surely help you –
1. Bajaj Chetak Electric Bajaj Auto launched its first electric scooter in India last year, and named it after the iconic ‘Chetak’ scooter.

The Chetak has been positioned as a premium product, and hence, gets equipped with high-quality materials along with features like its feather touch switchgear, full-LED lighting, as well as a digital instrument cluster.
The scooter is available in two variants, namely Urbane and Premium, priced at Rs 1 lakh and Rs 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom) respectively.
