Ola Electric currently leads the electric two-wheeler market, followed by TVS Motor and Ather Energy. Ather’s portfolio has recently been updated to include a more affordable option in the form of the Ather 450X. If you’re in the market for an electric scooter but aren’t sure which one to get, we’ve got you covered.

1. Design (Ather 450X, Ola S1 Pro & TVS iQube S)
Starting with the design, each of the three scooters was created using a unique design language. Starting with the Ather 450X, it has a sporty and futuristic design that easily distinguishes itself on the road. The Ola S1 Pro has a modern and stylish design. The TVS iQube, on the other hand, has a more traditional design and is identical to the company’s ICE scooter, the TVS Jupiter. If you want a sporty or sleek design, the Ather 450X or the Ola S1 Pro are good options. However, if you want a simple design that will fly under the radar, the TVS iQube S is a better option.
2. Performance (Ather 450X, Ola S1 Pro & TVS iQube S)
The Ather 450X is powered by a 6.2kW PMS motor with a peak torque of 26 Nm.
It has a top speed of 90 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 3.3 seconds. The Ola S1 Pro is powered by an 8.5kW mid drive IPM motor with a peak torque of 58 Nm. The electric scooter has a top speed of 116 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 2.9 seconds. The TVS iQube S, like its design, takes a conservative approach. It is powered by a 4.4 kW BLDC Hub motor with a peak torque of 33 Nm. The scooter has a top speed of 82 km/h and can accelerate from 0 to 40 km/h in 4.2 seconds.
3. Features (Ather 450X, Ola S1 Pro & TVS iQube S)
Ather has reduced the number of smart features available in its Ather 450X, and they are now only available with the Pro Pack variant.
The electric scooter has a 7-inch greyscale TFT touchscreen, but no 4G or Bluetooth connectivity, and no on-screen navigation. The Ola S1 Pro has a 7-inch colour touchscreen and a slew of features, including on-screen navigation, call support, music playback, key sharing, proximity unlock, and more. You can also use your phone to track the battery percentage on the scooter. The TVS iQube S also has a 7-inch TFT screen that can be controlled via the handlebar joystick. The scooter includes navigation, call alerts, music player control, and other features. You can use the app to track the charging status and use geofencing features.
