Synopsis

The Indian two-wheeler market has quite a few options for the electric scooter buyer. But choices shrink when it comes to electric motorcycles, especially in the mass market. Here’s why.

Look around you. A quick glance and you’ll see more motorcycles than scooters on any Indian road. That’s par for the course for the country — for every scooter, two motorcycles hit the roads. Now shift your gaze to motorcycles with green number plates. Things change, and rather dramatically. While there are a few electric motorcycles in the Indian market, there aren’t many that are seen with a fraction of the regularity of electric scooters.
