Battery, motor and warranty

Compare the battery first. Some models advertise a battery warranty of five years or more. Ask for the period in years, the distance limit in kilometres, and whether the warranty moves to a second owner, since local guides note that the battery warranty must be transferred when a used electric bike changes hands. Check the motor in watts (250W is common in the listings) and the battery in volts and amp-hours, for example 36V 7.5Ah.

Rules: when insurance and a licence apply

Electric cycles within the 250W and 25 km/h limit are treated legally as bicycles, and the local guide says there is generally no minimum age to ride one. Faster models fall into a different class. High-speed electric vehicles need mandatory insurance covering vehicle damage and third-party liability, while low-speed ones are usually exempt. Ask the seller which class the model is in and its top speed in km/h. Local guides also cover helmet and traffic rules, so read them before the first ride.

Rainy season, heat and delivery

The climate is tropical, hot all year with a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. Heat can shorten the range you get from a battery, and the wet season means slippery roads. Some models advertise a waterproof powertrain, so ask about it if you ride in the rain. Range is quoted in kilometres (60 km in some listings). Ask whether delivery to your city of Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai is included, and whether the price covers the bike with its battery.

What to write in the request

Include the model or brand, motor power in watts, battery in volts and amp-hours, wheel diameter in inches (26 and 27.5 are common in listings), whether the bike is new or used, your budget in rupees and your city. Say if you need a folding frame or a fat-tyre model.
