Independent third-party workshops like Umiya Auto, Apna Mechanic, RidenRepair, etc have carved out a profitable niche by repairing Ola Electric scooters.
These workshops capitalize on gaps in Ola’s official service network and leveraging the company’s new Hyperservice initiative that grants them access to genuine parts and diagnostic tools.
These workshops thrive by offering faster turnaround, personalized service, and competitive pricing compared to Ola’s own centers.
Scooters have become a popular choice for commuting in India due to their affordability, ease of use, and versatility. Among the market leaders, Honda Activa and TVS Jupiter have firmly established themselves as reliable petrol-driven options, while Ola Electric S1X signifies the emerging dominance of electric scooters.
Lets compare the features, advantages, and areas of consideration for these scooters.
The Honda Activa offers two models: the Activa 110 and Activa 125. The Activa 110 provides a balance between affordability and mileage, delivering around 50 km per litre and priced around ₹80,000.
On the other hand, the Activa 125, priced around ₹85,000, caters to those seeking enhanced power and additional features like a digital console.
Both models uphold Honda’s reputation for reliability, making them appealing to riders in urban areas.
Similarly, the TVS Jupiter features two variants: the Jupiter 110 and Jupiter 125.
MILEAGE: Kitna deti hai?
As far as mileage is concerned Ola Electric S 1 X leads the pack with 906kms per Rs 103 (cost of 1ltr Petrol) or 151 kilometres from a single charge which costs around Rs 15.
For every litre of petrol price, or hundred and three rupees, an Ola owner can charge his scooter at least 6 times.
This gives him a range of around 906 kilometers.
This means that for Rs 103 the Ola owner can ride for 906 kilometers. This is huge savings.
Honda Activa 110 gives around 60 kilometers per liter, followed by Jupiter 110.
But Jupiter’s 125 gives slightly better mileage of 50 kilometers than Activa 125 which gives around 47 kilometers of range per liter.
In conclusion: the choice between these scooters depends on individual priorities—be it mileage, advanced features, eco-friendliness, or cost-effectiveness.
For traditional petrol scooter enthusiasts, the Activa and Jupiter offer dependable options across varying budgets. But the increasing petrol costs adds considerable burden on the customer’s pocket.
Ola Electric S1X has the lowest maintenance and operation costs. But unless you have a fixed parking spot near your building with charging point Electric Scooters are not for you.
It is ultimately, one’s commuting needs that shape the decision, ensuring that whether petrol-powered or electric, the ideal scooter should cater to the rider’s lifestyle.

Slow speed electric scooters make up 90% of the electric scooter market. While Ola, Ather, Bajaj, TVS together make up just 10% of the electric scooter market share.
It is rather surprising to see that none of the top 4 branded companies (Ola, Ather, Bajaj &TVS) make slow speed electric scooters and together the fast eScooters make up just 10% of the electric scooter market in India.
What are slow speed eScooters? Slow speed electric scooters are those electric scooters which have a top speed less than 30kmph.
Indian govt must encourage this adoption by removing the WATTAGE RESTRICTION for slow speed eScooters because scooters need higher wattage if they have to carry another passenger or heavy load over flyovers.
So Govt should amend the Indian Motor Law… actually it could increase the speed to 30kmph (from the existing 25kmph) and remove wattage restriction and ensure these vehicles do not cross 30 kmph… actually the speed could be increased to 40kmph to make the vehicles more popular.
In the age of flyovers its time modern India does away with old laws with nonsensical wattage restriction… which prevent slow speed eScooters from climbing flyovers even with single rider… carrying a heavy load is unimaginable for him… India needs to do this to reduce the petrol consumption in Indian vehicles.
Currently these slow speed scooters do not require:

Mahindra has given away a lot of its money buying companies with good potential and unable to run it professionally … Reva Car, Ssangyong motor & GenZe scooter company are some names that come to mind.
