🧭 Things to check (especially for your region like Dehradun / Uttarakhand)

  • Range in hilly / mixed terrain: Heading up slopes or with heavier load/pillion can reduce range significantly.

  • Charging infrastructure & home charging: Do you have a reliable home charger or nearby public charger?

  • Service & parts availability: In Uttarakhand / Dehradun region check how many service centres the brand has.

  • Battery warranty & performance decay: How many years/kms does the warranty cover?

  • Actual usage style: If you ride many kms daily, go for higher-range variant; if only for city short trips maybe a moderate one is fine.

  • Budget & incentives/subsidies: State subsidies vary by state for EV two-wheelers; factor that in.

  • Road & weather conditions: India’s monsoon, slopes, rough patches – suspension, build quality matter.
