The popularity of electric scooters has risen due to their low running costs, easy maintenance, and emission-free operations. While e-scooters have many benefits, they come with a high initial cost that often deters potential buyers. Addressing this issue, home-grown Indian two-wheeler brands like YOBykes and Techo Electra have introduced affordable e-scooters under Rs. 60,000.
Electric scooters under Rs. 60,000 are low-speed two-wheelers, clocking top speeds up to 25 kmph. In other words, riders do not need to get a licence to ride the scooter or register the vehicle at the local RTO. These scooters run on BLDC motors and potent fast-charging battery packs to bring you a decent riding range that is ideal for short commutes. While affordably priced, most top-selling e-scooters in this price segment pack a rich feature suite, including perks like disc brakes, digital displays, USB charging sockets, and keyless start.
YO Drift
Available in one variant and five colour options, YO Drift is a low-speed electric scooter manufactured by YOBykes. This affordable electric scooter under Rs. 60,000 comes in lithium-ion and lead acid battery options. The former recharges in 3-4 hours, while the latter takes up to 8 hours to charge completely. Both variants offer a claimed riding range of 65 km/charge, making the scooter well suited for short commutes. YO Drift also commands a 160mm ground clearance, LED DRLs, 3-in-1 lock, keyless start, riding modes, reverse mode, and digital display.
