Let’s break down the best electric scooters under ₹40,000 in India—with speed, specs, and savings all included.
Why Choose an E-Scooter Under ₹40K?¶
Affordability & Running Cost
We tried to summon the collective power of our PHd and came up with a simple answer: “They are more cost-effective”.
What, no drumroll? Okay, look, jokes aside, we mean when we say it: These are electric scooters under 40,000. Of course, they are lighter on your wallet.
You get what you need—at a price that doesn’t scare your wallet. These scooters are incredibly budget-friendly, with running costs as low as 25–30 paise/km and almost zero maintenance (say goodbye to oil changes and engine repairs).
Top it all with the fact that EVs don’t really come with petrol bills–and yes, you can save a lot of money in the long run.
Urban Commuting Fit
Perfect for city riding—short distances, moderate traffic, lots of stops. Most of these scooters cap at 25 km/h, which means safer speeds and eligibility for no-license use in some cases (we’ll get to that later). That’s right. Despite whatever your grandmother says, you can ride an electric scooter without licence under ₹40,000.

Key Buying Tips for Sub-₹40K E-Scooters¶
One thing that definitely is not a joke and is of the utmost importance are the price points and ranges that correspond to the EV batteries (and battery types). As a responsible customer (like we all strive to be); one should really be aware of everything regarding those.
Battery Type & Capacity
- Most models under ₹40K use Lead-Acid or basic Li-ion batteries
- Lead-acid = cheaper upfront but slower charging, lower life
- Li-ion = longer life, better range
Range vs. Real-World Use
- Don’t blindly trust the ads. Real range can be 10–20% lower in city traffic.
- Look for reviews or ask the dealer for actual range data
Charging Infrastructure
- All these models support portable home charging via 3-pin plugs
- Public fast chargers? Not usually needed—but growing
Warranty & Service Network
- Ask for battery warranty terms (usually 1–2 years)
- Check if there’s a service centre within 10–15 km of your location
- Don’t forget spare parts availability—especially for new brands
Licensing & Registration Considerations¶
Do You Need a License?
Most of these scooters are capped at 25 km/h, which means many fall under the “no license needed” category under Indian MV laws. So, in technical terms, you can say that the answer is “sometimes not”.
But be careful:
- Some RTOs still require a Learner’s Licence (LL)
- It’s best to check local rules
RTO Registration Fees
Expect to pay:
- ₹500–₹1,200 depending on your state
- Add ₹300–₹500 for smart card, if applicable
Not a dealbreaker, but factor it into your budget.
FAQs¶
1. Which electric scooter is best under ₹40,000?
Komaki X One for range, Ola Gig for brand trust and support.
2. Can I ride these scooters without a licence?
Mostly yes—if capped at 25 km/h. But check with your local RTO to be sure.
3. What’s the battery replacement cost?
₹5,000–₹15,000 depending on the battery type and size.
4. How long do these batteries last?
Lead-acid = 1–1.5 years; Li-ion = 3+ years with good care.
5. Can I charge these from a normal plug point?
Yes. All listed models come with portable 3-pin chargers.
