Certified vs real range

The Aerox E is rated at 117 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.

Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 14th for range, 30 km below the group average of 147 km.

Charging at home in Delhi at about ₹7.5/unit, a 3 kWh pack costs roughly ₹25 to fill and works out to about ₹0.21 per km. Riding 30 km a day, that is around ₹165 a month, a fraction of what a petrol scooter costs to run.

Why the gap exists: electric scooter range explained.

Monthly running cost by city

30 km a day, 26 days a month, at each city's current domestic electricity tariff.

Spread over five years and 46,800 km, the Aerox E works out to about ₹7.0 per km all-in, of which 3% is electricity and 90% is the purchase price itself. Resale value is not counted; expect roughly 50–60% of ex-showroom after five years for a well-kept example.

Getting the most range

Range on the Aerox E depends on mode more than anything else. The highest mode can cut range by a third compared with Eco, and sustained speeds above 60 km/h drain the pack quickly because aerodynamic load grows with the square of speed.

Charge to 80% for daily use and only fill to 100% before a long ride; lithium packs age slower that way, and most warranties only replace a battery that falls below 70% of original capacity.

Cold mornings and a heavy pillion both trim range. Budget for the low end of the real-world band in winter and when riding two-up.

Where it stands in its class

Aerox E range: questions people ask

What is the real range of the Aerox E?
The certified range is 117 km. Expect 65–75% of that in everyday riding.
How much does the Aerox E cost to run per month?
Charging works out to about ₹0.21 per km in Delhi, so a 30 km daily commute costs roughly ₹165 a month before servicing.
How long does the Aerox E take to charge?
About 6.2 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
Is the Aerox E's range enough for a daily round-trip commute?
A claimed 117km typically means 80-90km in real-world mixed riding, so it suits daily commutes under that distance but leaves little buffer for detours.
