The Top Electric Bikes and Scooters with the Longest Range in India

Battery technology in two-wheelers has come a long way, with electric bikes and scooters becoming a realistic alternative to traditional fossil fuel-powered vehicles. In honor of World EV Day, we present the top 10 electric bikes and scooters in India that boast the longest ranges on a single charge. These vehicles are designed with the future of sustainable transportation in mind.

Understanding the Range Claims

All electric vehicles (EVs) on this list have a top speed in excess of 25 kph (15.5 mph) and are classified as high-speed electric two-wheelers. While the range figures you see listed here are often ARAI-tested, real-world ranges will be lower. We have attempted to verify these figures with our real-world tests, and where applicable, these results are noted in the article.
