Electric mobility is rapidly expanding in India, yet the sweet spot for many first-time buyers remains in the ultra-budget range. In 2025, finding an EV scooter for under ₹ 25,000 is challenging but not impossible especially if you accept low-top-speed (≈25 km/h) and shorter range for city commuting. These scooters are often designed for local trips, minimalistic use, and daily errands rather than highway or long-range travel.
What to Expect and What to Check
When your budget is under ₹ 25,000, you’ll make trade-offs. Here’s what to check:
Top Speed & Licensing: Many ultra-budget EV scooters cap at ~25 km/h to fall under non-RTO/low-speed category.Battery Type & Serviceability: Smaller battery packs or lead-acid vs Li-ion will affect longevity and cost.
Build Quality & Support: Low-cost scooters sometimes compromise on components; check service network.
Models to Watch (Near or Under ₹ 25,000)
Based on recent market reports, here are relevant models or offers near this budget:
Model A (Budget EV): Some reports mention options around ~₹ 24,999 down-payment or promotional pricing for EV scooters designed for city-use.
Model B (Entry low-speed category): Reports point to ultra-budget EVs starting around ₹ 25,000 for very low-speed city commuting usage.
Note: While truly sub-₹ 25,000 fully-specced EV scooters are still rare, promotions, discounts or low-speed variants bring the effective cost close.
