Electric Scooter Market Shifts to Family-Focused Models
The electric scooter market in India is changing.
People are now preferring scooters that are practical and affordable for family use, rather than those with high-tech features.
Companies like TVS and Bajaj have been successful with their family-friendly models, and others like Hero, Honda, and Ather are also focusing on this segment.
The market is growing fast, with a 75% increase in registrations.
This shift is similar to how the petrol scooter market was dominated by models like the Honda Activa, which were practical and reliable.
Experts believe that the next phase of growth will be driven by these mainstream family buyers.
India's electric scooter market is shifting towards practical, family-oriented models.
Registrations surged 75% year-on-year to 193,495 units in June 2026.
TVS and Bajaj lead with family-focused models like the iQube and Chetak.
Hero, Honda, and Ather are targeting the Rs 1-1.25 lakh segment.
Suzuki and Yamaha are priced above the emerging sweet spot, risking missing the family buyer market.
