The AI answer we saw

Electric scooters generally have lower maintenance costs than petrol scooters due to fewer moving parts. Among popular options, the Ather 450X and TVS iQube offer transparent annual maintenance contracts (AMC) starting around ₹1,500–₹2,500/year. Bajaj Chetak is known for minimal servicing needs given its robust build. Key cost factors include battery warranty (look for 3–5 years), tyre wear, and brake pad replacement. Brands with wider service networks like TVS and Bajaj tend to have lower long-term service costs.
