1. River Indie – The SUV of electric scooters
The River Indie is the kind of scooter that instantly dominates the road. Every time you see one, it feels like a scooter that grew up watching adventure motorcycles. The wide handlebar, chunky tyres, large headlamp, and rugged, layered panels give it a muscular SUV-like character.
The Indie is unapologetically different. It doesn’t try to be sleek—it tries to be bold, and it succeeds beautifully. You get curious stares at almost every traffic signal, because the scooter looks nothing like the typical EVs you see on Indian roads. And that is not it, there is a lot of storage space, practical design, accessories, and it becomes the perfect mix of funky yet functional.
Powering the Indie is a 6.7 kW motor and 26 Nm, which helps the scooter in reaching a top speed of 90 kmph. Battery pack is a 4 kWh unit that has a claimed range of around 160 km.
2. TVS X – A scooter straight out of the future
The TVS X doesn’t look like it belongs to 2025—it looks like it belongs to a sci-fi movie. The first time you see it, you’re struck by its exposed frame, sharp angles, aggressive LED DRLs and motorcycle-inspired silhouette. With the X, TVS literally brought a concept to life.
It’s a scooter that screams performance, even when it’s parked. And on the road, people actually turn around just to understand what zipped past them. TVS really went all-in with design innovation here, making the X one of the most iconic EV shapes in India today.
It is also one of the most powerful electric scooters in the Indian market. The electric motor puts out 11 kW and 40 Nm. The claimed range is rated at 140 km. The 4.44 kWh battery pack is liquid-cooled which makes the TVS X unique.
3. Ather 450X Apex – sleek, sporty and electrifying
The Ather 450X Apex brings a whole different vibe—clean, purposeful, and athletic. It’s not flashy, but the lines are so sharp and the design so cohesive that it naturally draws attention. The Apex edition takes things up a notch with its translucent side panels and special colour scheme.
What stands out is how mature and premium it looks. This is the kind of scooter that doesn’t shout for attention—it earns it with elegance and sporty confidence. If you appreciate finesse over flamboyance, the 450X Apex is the scooter that will truly resonate with you.
The 450 X Apex is the flagship electric scooter that the brand sells. It is also one of the best electric scooter that an enthusiast can get. The electric motor puts out 7 kW and 26 Nm and helps the scooter in reaching a top speed of 100 kmph. The 3.7 kWh battery pack gives the 450X Apex a claimed range of 157 km.

4. Ather Rizta – Modern, friendly and comfort-focused
The Ather Rizta has a personality of its own. It’s stylish, but in the warm, friendly way—not overly edgy, not too minimal. The design feels approachable, and that’s exactly what makes it stand out. The large, comfortable seat, practical proportions and neatly executed LED signature give it a very balanced urban presence.
It’s the kind of scooter that people notice because it looks fresh and well thought-out. Even from a distance, the Rizta looks “premium family scooter done right,” and Ather has given it enough modern touches to keep it fun and youthful. It’s perfect for riders who want style minus the aggression.
The Rizta is one of the best family scooters in India. It is spacious, comfortable and practical. There are two battery packs on offer with a claimed range of 123 km and 159 km. The top speed is 80 kmph with the power and torque output from the electric motor rated at 4.3 kW and 22 Nm.
5. TVS Orbiter – Compact, funky and youthful
The TVS Orbiter is the newest entrant here, and it brings refreshing, funky energy to the EV segment. Its compact body, crisp panel cuts, bright colours and sharp LED elements make it look youthful and smart. It doesn’t try to mimic big scooters or motorcycles—it stays true to an urban commuter identity but adds personality where it matters.
On the road, it looks light, agile and modern. The Orbiter is the kind of scooter that appeals to young riders who want a cool, stylish EV that is easy to live with and instantly noticeable. TVS claims that the Orbiter can go up to 115 km on a single charge from its 3.1 kWh battery pack. The 2.5 kW BLDC motor helps the Orbiter reach a top speed of 68 kmph.
