PEV Electric is an Indian based company that has launched six models in India. Its portfolio consists of low and high-speed models, and the company also offers three and four-wheeler scooters. These scooters are ideal for handicapped people and old people due to being four-wheelers.
Here are some pointers to remember if you are planning to buy a PEV Electric scooter:
The first consideration when purchasing a new vehicle should be the requirement. If you need a scooter just as a conveyance tool, consider the PEV Phantom S or the PEV Electric X1. These models offer a decent range and are limited to 25 kmph, which exempts the driver from having a license to operate them. If you want something more, you can opt for the PEV Electric Panther.
The biggest worry for electric scooters is their range. Knowing your daily usage beforehand and purchasing a scooter that can match it will allow you to not have range anxiety. Most of the PEV Electric models offer ranges in the ballpark of 60-80 km, which is ideal for grocery runs and office commutes.
The PEV Electric scooter prices range from Rs 60,000 to Rs 1.35 lakh. These are the ex-showroom prices, which will go up due to insurance and RTO charges for some models. Opting for models that are exempt from registration will reduce the overall cost, and some states also offer subsidies for electric scooters, which will make the PEV Electric scooters even more affordable.
The PEV Electric scooters come with varying warranties depending on the battery type. The lithium-ion batteries are afforded a 3-year standard warranty, whereas a gel-based battery only attracts one year. As battery replacement is the costliest repair on an electric scooter, ensure that the conditions and duration of the warranty are something you are comfortable with.
PEV Electric scooters are made with comfort as a major factor. The three and four-wheeler scooters come with two captain seats with armrests, which is a rare sight on a scooter. The riding position of the scooter is neutral, which ensures the back remains straight.
Common safety features of the PEV Electric portfolio include disc/ drum brakes, anti-theft motor lock, side stand sensor (two-wheelers), LED headlights and central locking for three/four wheelers.
Common features on the PEV Electric models include reverse mode, LED headlights, and three speed modes. The top model of the PEV Electric, Panther, gets a USB charging port and four-speed mopeds on top of the above-stated features.
As most of the PEV Electric models are limited to 25 kmph, registration is not required for these scooters. Riders of these scooters are also not required to have a driving license. Some states offer subsidies for electric scooters, which will reduce the cost of the scooters.
The colour choice of the PEV scooters is limited. Each model comes in a single colour choice, which might be a con for someone looking to personalise their electric ride.
Here are a couple of tips to help you choose the PEV Electric scooter that fits your needs the most:
Comparing multiple scooters from PEV and even some rivals will help you gauge the value of each model. Some might offer more features at a higher price, but those features might not be of value to you. Consider what you require from your next scooter, as that will help you make a better decision.
An advantage of electric scooters is their relatively low cost of ownership when compared to petrol options. Do remember that a battery is the costliest component of an electric scooter, and replacing it in some cases costs upto 1/3rd of the model's price. If you are worried about this cost, enquire about the battery cost and any major repairs before you purchase the model.
Every company has their terms and conditions for warranty. In the case of PEV Electric, the battery warranty is voided if accidental damage, bulging, cracking, or repairs to the battery are done by a third party.
As PEV Electric is a new company, its brand reputation is not as established as mass market options. Reading online reviews and customer ratings will help you decide if the scooters and after-sales care are to your satisfaction.
A hindrance to owning electric scooters is charging. Before purchasing a PEV Electric scooter, ask the shop about charging adapters if available. Having a charging port at work and home will make your life convenient and remove the biggest pain point of operating an EV.
