2 wheeler EV is not a rare sight in Bangalore. Probably 1 in 200 two wheelers is EV in my neighborhood.
- alephnerd 3y agoBangalore =/= India. Most of Bangalore's case is because of Ola subsidizing it's drivers to buy an Ola Bike [0][1]. For people who don't know, Ola is India's indigenous Uber+Doordash competitor. If you're price sensitive, you can always buy a used Hero Honda for around $500-1k, so cheaper than a 2 wheeler EV. If you aren't price conscious, you can buy a luxury bike like a KTM or a car.

- hunter2_ 3y agoI recently had to look up what constitutes "common" vs. "rare" and I found the typical threshold to be 5%. You're only at 10% of that so I'd call it very rare.
