Ather Konarc, Bajaj Chetak, and TVS iQube: A Comparative Analysis of Price, Range, and Battery Capacity The Indian electric scooter market has seen intense competition as manufacturers vie for dominance in the growing segment. Ather Energy, Bajaj Auto, and TVS Motor Company have all introduced models designed to cater to diverse consumer needs, from budget-conscious buyers to those prioritizing long-range capability. The Ather Konarc, launched under Rs 1 lakh, directly competes with the TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak, each offering distinct advantages in terms of pricing, battery capacity, and claimed driving range. In terms of range, the TVS iQube ST 5.3 stands out as the longest-range option among the three, with a claimed Indian Driving Cycle (IDC) range of up to 212 km. This outperforms the Ather Konarc S, which offers a maximum range of 200 km, and the Bajaj Chetak C3501 and C3502, which provide up to 153 km on a single charge. The entry-level variants of these models also show varying performance: the Ather Konarc S 100 claims 100 km, the TVS iQube 2.3 offers 114 km, and the Bajaj Chetak C3001 is rated for 131 km. For buyers prioritizing maximum range, the TVS iQube ST 5.3 remains the top choice despite its higher price point. Battery capacity plays a critical role in determining the range and performance of these scooters. The TVS iQube ST 5.3 leads with a 5.3 kWh battery pack, significantly larger than the 4.7 kWh battery in the iQube S 4.7. Ather’s Konarc lineup spans from a 2.1 kWh battery in the S 100 to a 3.5 kWh unit in the S 161, while Bajaj’s Chetak series features either a 3 kWh battery in the C3001 or a 3.5 kWh pack in the C35 series.#bajaj_auto #tvsmotor_company #ather_energy #tvsiqube_st_5_3 #ather_konarc
