2022 was truly a year for electric scooters.

Out of our pick of the top 5 scooter reviews, only one is a petrol-powered scooter. So, here’s a look at the top 5 scooters that we reviewed in 2022.
The Ola S1 Pro is fun to ride in the city, is nimble and has very good performance and decent range as well.

The Vida V1 Pro is priced at Rs. 1.59 lakh (Ex-showroom), and comes with a claimed range of 165 km on a single charge. It's one of the priciest electric scooters in its segment.
The Vida V1 Pro is the first electric scooter from Hero MotoCorp, India’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer. The Vida V1 Pro commands a premium price tag, but also boasts of very good range, for any electric scooter which is available on sale right now. Hero MotoCorp has also announced test rides for customers for three days, before buying it, and also a buyback offer at 70 per cent of the cost. It’s still slightly expensive but does have qualities which make the V1 Pro an electric scooter which cannot be ignored. Here’s our first ride experience!

The Simple ONE comes with a claimed maximum range of 236 km in ideal conditions. With a second extra removable battery, the price of the scooter goes up to Rs. 1.49 lakh, but maximum claimed range is at 300 km.
Deliveries for the Simple ONE electric scooter have yet to begin, although prices were announced much earlier. In 2022, we got to spend some time with what the company says is still a pre-production model. So, if there were some things which needed better finish and ironing out, the Simple ONE does have its strengths. It looks good, rides well and promises a lot of range. Here’s our take from a very brief first ride!

The Bounce Infinity E1 is India’s first electric scooter offered with swappable batteries, or with battery-as-a-service option. It offers a unique proposition in the electric two-wheeler space and is attractively priced as well. We got to spend some time with yet another pre-production electric scooter, and despite a few shortcomings, the Infinity E1 does offer an attractive option at a relatively lower price point.
