A typical delivery partner in Lucknow rides between 100 and 140 km a day. On a petrol scooter that returns about 45 km per litre, fuel alone costs close to ₹250 every day.
The electric math
An electric scooter consumes roughly 2.5 units of electricity per 100 km. Even at commercial tariffs that works out to about 25 paise per kilometre — around ₹30 a day for the same distance.
Maintenance matters too
Electric motors have far fewer moving parts. No engine oil, no clutch plates, no spark plugs. With a Speedo monthly plan, servicing is included anyway.
Add it up and a full-time rider can save between ₹4,000 and ₹6,000 every month — money that goes straight into their pocket.
