The two electric scooters that are currently creating a lot of excitement in the Indian electric vehicle market are the Ather 450S and the Ola S1 Air. Both these electric scooters are the less expensive iterations of their premium flagship brothers, the S1 Pro and the 450X, respectively. Ather Energy debuted the 450S last week, with an ex-showroom starting price of ₹1.30 lakh and Ola Electric opened the S1 Air buying window on July 28 electric scooter throughout the nation. At ₹1.10 lakh (ex-showroom), the Ola S1 Air is the brand’s least expensive electric scooter.
The nation’s EV aficionados have responded favourably to both the Ola S1 Air and the Ather 450S. Ola Electric and Ather Energy are placing a lot of money on these models to take a bigger share of the Indian electric scooter industry.

The first electric vehicle (EV) under Hero’s new Vida EV brand, the Hero Vida V1 has been anticipated for a long time.
