With fuel prices at an all-time high, electric scooters have been witnessing a significant jump in sales. This is despite the safety concerns that have been raised in recent times with multiple electric scooters catching fire. Continual expansion of charging infrastructure is also a key factor why customers are no longer averse to buying an electric scooter.

In April 2022, sales of popular scooters such as Ola, Ather, iQube and Bajaj was at 19,143 units. YoY growth is a whopping 917.70%, as compared to just 1,881 units sold in the corresponding period last year. MoM growth is also positive at 31.81%, as compared to 14,523 units sold in March 2022.

Sales numbers reveal that iQube has been ahead of Chetak for six consecutive months, from November 2021 to April 2022. As compared to Chetak, TVS iQube’s relatively affordable pricing could be a factor that explains its higher sales numbers. It could also be due to production constraints that Bajaj is facing on account of global shortage of auto components.

iQube’s highest monthly sales this year was in February when 2,238 units were sold. Chetak’s best was in January, with sales at 1,268 units. If iQube can maintain the momentum, it could register higher sales than Chetak in CY2022. Last year also, iQube was ahead of Chetak in annual sales. Recently TVS announced the launch of updated iQube with more range and features. This makes the e-scooter even more attractive to buyers. Bajaj is also working on launching updated Chetak sometime later this year.
