Here are 6 electric bike buying guides for you.

1) First check if there are facilities to charge your EV or electric vehicle where you live. If there is a situation where the battery of the scooter needs to be removed and brought home to charge it, then decide before buying. Get a removable battery operated scooty. Hero and a couple of other companies have such models in the market.

2) How much EV do you use? As seen, our average usage is 20-25 km per day. But scooters that can run 100 km or more on a single charge are readily available in the market. If you need a range of 80-90 km, then look for a 3kW battery pack. But if you want more than 100km, then the 4kW battery pack is ideal for you. However, how far your EV will go on a single charge will depend a lot on how you drive.

4) Another important thing is to understand the motor of the scooter. Many times ‘hub motors’ are used to keep costs down. This motor is directly connected to the tire. Using it shifts the center of mass backwards. Apart from this there may be breakdown or overheating problem. The solution is the mid drive motor. If you buy an EV for less than 1 lakh, you won’t even think about it. But if the budget increases, look for a mid drive motor.

5) As the days go by people are looking for various convenience features in EVs. Companies are also giving. But remember that the more features the higher the price range. So don’t go for flashy features, be content with essential features.

6) Do you check the after sales service before buying anything? It means whether there is a service center of a particular company in your area, whether it provides quick service if needed, etc. Check these things before buying a scooty.
